Preserving of fruit and vegetables
Use the bottom heater mode together with
the fan
.
• Prepare food for
preserving and the
jars in a usual
manner. Use the
conventional jars with
glass cover and
rubber gasket. Never
use jars with threaded
or tin covers, or tins. Jars should be of the
same size, filled with the same type of food and
well tightened. You may place up to six one-litre
jars.
• Use only fresh groceries.
• Pour around one litre of water into the deep
roasting pan, to produce the required humidity.
Place the jars into the oven without touching the
oven walls (see fig.). Cover the jars with a wet
paper to protect the rubber gaskets.
• Insert the pan with jars into the second guide
from bottom up. Set the temperature regulation
knob to 180
°C. Pre-heating of oven is not
necessary.
• Watch the jars all the time. Once the liquid in
the jars starts boiling, follow the instructions
from the Preserving Table.

switches on, but no heater is active.

cream cake, other biscuits and pastry, bread

and more uniform defrosting.
