Preserving

Close the jars with clear adhesive tape or with clips suitable for microwave use.

Never use metal clips or jars with screw-on lids.

Do not use tins for preserving food. Pressure can build up and they may explode, resulting in injury or damage.

Do not attempt to place more than four 1/2 - litre jars onto the turning table at the same time.

Set to 900 W and bring the content in the jars to simmer. The time required depends on:

2 glass jars . . . . . . . . approx. 6 minutes

3 glass jars . . . . . . . . approx. 9 minutes

4 glass jars . . . . . . . approx. 12 minutes
