Preserving

For preserving, the jars and rubber seals must be clean 

and intact. If possible, use jars of the same size. The 

information in the table is for round, one-litre jars.

Caution!

Do not use jars that are larger or taller than this. The 

lids could crack.

Only use fruit and vegetables in good condition. Wash 

them thoroughly.
The times given in the tables are a guide only. The time 

will depend on the room temperature, number of jars, 

and the quantity and temperature of the contents. 

Before you switch off the appliance or change the 

cooking mode, check whether the contents of the jars 

are bubbling as they should.

Preparation

1.

Fill the jars, but not to the top.

2.

Wipe the rims of the jars, as they must be clean.

3.

Place a damp rubber seal and a lid on each jar.

4.

Seal the jars with the clips.

Place no more than six jars in the cooking 

compartment.

Preserving

Fruit

After approx. 40 to 50 minutes, small bubbles begin to 

form at short intervals. Switch off the oven.
After 25 to 35 minutes of residual heat, remove the 

preserving jars from the cooking compartment. If they 

are allowed to cool for longer in the cooking 

compartment, germs could multiply, promoting 

acidification of the preserved fruit.

Vegetables

As soon as bubbles begin to form in the jars, set the 

temperature back to between 120 and 140 °C. 

Depending on the type of vegetable, heat for approx. 35 

to 70 minutes. Switch off the oven after this time and 

use the residual heat.

Taking out the jars

After preserving, remove the jars from the cooking 

compartment.

Caution!

Do not place the hot jars on a cold or wet surface. They 

could suddenly burst.
