Preserving
When preserving use the bottom heat oven function U.
Preserving jars
• When preserving use only commercially available jars that are the
same size.
3 Jars with twist-off tops or with a bayonet fastening and metal
containers are not suitable.
Shelf positions
• Use the 1st shelf position from the bottom for preserving.
Notes on preserving
• Use the baking tray for preserving. There is room for up to six jars,
each with a capacity of 1 litre.
• The jars should all be filled to the same level and closed.
• Position the jars on the baking tray so that they do not come into
contact with one another.
• Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the baking tray to create suffi-
cient moisture in the oven.
• As soon as bubbles begin to appear in the first jars (for 1-litre jars this
takes about 35-60 minutes), switch off the oven or reduce the tem-
perature to 100 °C (see table).
