Preserving

When preserving use the hot air H oven function.

Preserving jars

Only use commercially available preserving jars (preserving jars with a rubber ring and glass lid) for preserving.

Screw-top jars, jars with a bayonet fastening and metal containers are unsuitable.

Shelf positions

When preserving use the 1st shelf position from the bottom .

Notes on preserving

Use the universal baking tray for preserving. There is room for up to 6 preserving jars each with a capacity of 1 litre on this tray.

Stand a cup of water on the universal baking tray so that there is suf- ficient moisture in the oven.

Position the preserving jars on the universal baking tray so that they do not come into contact with one another.

The preserving jars should all be filled to the same level and closed.
