Defrosting
The defrosting time depends on the amount and type of food.
Observe the instructions on the packaging.
Take food out of its packaging and place in suitable ovenware
on the wire rack.
Place poultry with the breast side to the plate.
Drying
Use undamaged fruit and vegetables only and wash them
thoroughly.
Drain off any excess water from fruit and vegetables and dry
them.
The universal pan must be inserted at level 3,
and the wire rack is placed at level 1.
Line the universal pan and the wire rack with greaseproof or
parchment paper.
Turn very juicy fruit or vegetables several times. Remove fruit
and vegetables from the paper as soon as they have dried.
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.

5.
Set the temperature to 170 - 180 °C.
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.
