Preserving
Things to note:
• Use only preserve jars of the same dimensions available on the market.
• Do not use jars with twist-off and bayonet type lids, or metal tins.
• Use the first shelf from the bottom for this function.
• Put no more than six one-litre preserve jars on the baking tray.
• Fill the jars up to the same level and close with a clamp.
• The jars cannot touch each other.
• Put approximately 1/2 litre of water into the baking tray to give sufficient moisture in
the oven.
• When the liquid in the jars starts to simmer (after approx. 35-60 minutes with one-litre
jars), stop the oven or decrease the temperature to 100°C (see the table).

Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest scientific knowledge, if you brown food (specially the
one which contains starch), acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we recommend that
you cook at the lowest temperatures and do not brown food too much.
