For bottling, use only commerdaily available bottling jars (jars
with rubberhngsand glass lids). Never use jars with screwfittings
or bayonet catches or metai tins. And make sure you use fresh
foodstuffs!
The oven holds 6 bottling jars of 1-1'^ litres capacity.
Place 1 cup of hot water in the drip-pan so that the necessary
humidity is retained in the oven.
As the shelf height, use the 4th level from above. The jarsshould
not touch, must wherever possible be filled to the same level with
the same contents, and must be securely damped.
To switch on, turn my heating mode switch to hot airland the
oven temperature switch to 160°C.
Fume opening: closed
Keep an eye on the food being bottled.
As soon as the liquid in thefi rst jars (when bottling fruit or picided
cucumbers) begins to bubble (afteraround45 minutes for 1-litre
jars) switch off the oven, but allow the jars to stand a further
30 minutes or so - around 15 minutes for tender fruit, e.g. straw­
berries - in the closed oven.
When bottling vegetables or mea^ set back my oven tempera­
ture switch to 100 °C as soon as the liquid in the fi rst jars begins
to bubble and allow the contents to cook for a further
60-90 minutes. Then switch off the oven with both my switches
and allowthejarstostandafurtherSO minutes intheclosed oven.
