•Place the appliance on a level and
Preparing the appliance for use
•Clean the appliance as described in the chapter "Cleaning and Care"..
•Insert the power plug into a power socket.
•Fill the appliance with ca. 5 liters of water and bring it to the boil (see chapter “Switching the appliance on and off”).
Attention:
When it is hot, take hold of the appliance ONLY by means of the heat insulated handles 2. Risk of Burns!
Note:
On the first use the generation of a slight smell can occur, due to residues from the production. It is com- pletely harmless and disperses after a short time. Provide for sufficient ventilation, for example, open a window.
Switching the appliance on and off
Adjust the temperature regulator 6 to the desired heating level.
The control lamp 7 glows. When the set temperature has been reached, the temperature control lamp 7 goes out. The control lamp glows during operation when the temperature falls below the set level and the fruit preserver needs to heat itself back up. When you wish to switch the appliance off, turn the temperature controller 6 to the position OFF. When the appliance is not in use, always remove the plug from the wall power socket.
Preserving
To be understood under the term preserving is the conservation of foodstuffs by, amongst others, the effects of heat. Dependent upon the type and mass of the items to be preserved, a differentiation is made between the processes of sterilisation and pasteurisation.
In sterilisation, the items to be preserved are heated to a temperature of at least 100°C. With pasteuri- sation the heating temperature lies by 80°C. For domestic use pasteurisation is sufficient.
To achieve this, you need appropriate preserving jars, with
1.Place the preserving grill 8 in the fruit preserver.
2.Stand the well sealed preserving jars on the preserving grill 8.
Note:
A maximum of 14 x 1 liter preserving jars, in two layers, one above the other, can be pasteurised/sterilised.
3.Fill the fruit preserver with sufficent water to ensure that the upper jars are submersed in water to at least 3/4 of their height. Ensure that the preser- ving jars in the lower layer are firmly sealed, so that water cannot infiltrate them.
