Preserving

Things to note:

•Use only preserve jars of the same dimensions available on the market.

•Do not use jars with twist-off and bayonet type lids, or metal tins.

•Use the first shelf from the bottom for this function.

•Put no more than six one-litre preserve jars on the baking tray.

•Fill the jars up to the same level and close with a clamp.

•The jars cannot touch each other.

•Put approximately 1/2 litre of water into the baking tray to give sufficient moisture in the oven.

•When the liquid in the jars starts to simmer (after approx. 35-60 minutes with one-litre jars), stop the oven or decrease the temperature to 100°C (see the table).
