AEG 318V - Manual (Page 29)

For bottling, use only jars with rubber seals and glass lids.
Never use jars with screw fittings or bayonet catches or metal
tins. And make sure you use fresh foodstuffsl
The oven holds 6 bottling jars of 1-1.5 litres, capacity.
Place 1 cup of hot water in the drip-pan so that the necessary
humidity is retained in the oven.
Position the jars in the enamelled pan on the 4th level from the
top. The jars should not touch, must wherever possible be
filled to the same level with the same contents and must be se­
curely clamped.
To
switch on, turn the oven temperature control to
160 “C.
Keep an eye on the food being bottled.
As soon as the liquid in the first jars (when bottling fruit or
gherkins) begins to bubble (after around 40-45 minutes for
1 litre jars) switch off the oven, but allow the jars to stand a fur­
ther 30 minutes or so - around 15 minutes for soft fruit, e. g.
strawberries - in the closed oven.
When bottling
vegetables or meat, set back the oven tem­
perature control to 150 °C as soon as the liquid in the first ja's
begins to bubble and allow the contents to cook for a further
60-90 minutes. Then switch off the oven and allow the jars to
stand a further 30 minutes in the closed oven.
