Commissioning
Installation of the appliance
• Completely unwind the power cable from the
cable retainer
5 .
• Place the appliance on a level and slip-free surface.
Ensure that a wall power socket is easily acces-
sible.
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 screw-tops or lids with rubber rings, and
a fruit preserver.
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.
