power.
∙ Use the temperature control to select the
correct setting in accordance with the
‘Preservation cooking timetable’ (see
at the end of this instruction manual). The
pilot light comes on and the appliance
starts heating up.
∙ The actual preserving (i.e. cooking)
process begins when the thermostat
switches the pilot light off for the fi rst time.
The heating time is not included in the
recipe cooking times.
∙ If boiling point is reached during operation
although the thermostat has been set to
a point below the ‘Boil’ position, turn the
thermostat slightly lower so that the pilot
light goes out. A signifi cant amount of
steam build-up indicates when the boiling
point has been reached.
∙ When the temperature selector is set to
the ‘Boil’ position, the pilot light will be
permanently switched on.
∙ Even with the thermostat in the ‘Boil’
position, too much boiling and bubbling
should be avoided, to prevent over-
evaporation of the water. Reduce the
thermostat setting if necessary.
∙ When preserving food, never go below
the recommended cooking times; if in
doubt, a longer cooking time should
always be chosen.
∙ Once the preserving process is complete,
reset the thermostat to its ‘●’-position.
∙ Disconnect the appliance from the mains
outlet.
∙ Remove the jars. Caution: beware of
the danger of scalding. Place the jars
on a cloth and use a second cloth to
cover them.
∙ Do not remove the clamps or lid fasteners
from the jars until they have completely
cooled down.
∙ When using tins for preserving food, place
them in cold water after preserving is
complete.
After the preserving process
∙ For several consecutive preserving
cycles, the water in the container may be
re-used.
∙ Do not place glass jars in hot water: pre-
heat the jars fi rst.
∙ Once the preserving process is complete,
do not completely empty the container
right way, but leave enough water to
cover the bottom and then allow the
container to cool down fi rst.
∙ Bottles should be closed immediately
after the sterilisation process is complete.
∙ It is advisable to mark the glass jars, tins
etc. with their date and contents for later
reference.
∙ The best way to keep preserved food is in
a dry, cool and dark environment.
Heating up soups
If the appliance is used for heating thick
liquids such as soups, frequent and regular
stirring is required during the entire heating
phase: this is to ensure that the food does
not burn, and also to prevent the safety-
cutout from switching off the appliance
prematurely. Once the pre-set temperature
has been reached, the thermostat will keep
switching on and off alternately to maintain
the temperature. Frequent stirring is also
required when such food is being kept warm.
Caution: Do not use the grid insert when
heating up food.
Power cord storage
There is a wind-up storage for the power
