AEG 840E - Manual (Page 41)

For bottling, use only commercially available bottling jars (jars
with rubber rings and glass lids). Never use jars with screw fittings
or bayonet catches or metal tins. And make sure you use fresh
foodstuffs!
The oven holds 6 bottling jars of I-IV
2
litres capacity.
Place 1 cup of hot water in the drip-pan so that the necessary
humidity is retained in the oven.
As the sheif height, use the 4th level from above. The jars should
not touch, must where.ver possible be filled to the same level with
the same contents, and must be securely clamped.
To switch on, turn my heating mode switch to hot air and the
oven temperature switch to 160 °C.
Fume opening: closed
Keep an eye on the food being bottled.
As soon as the liquid in thefirstjars (when bottling fruit or pickled
cucumbers) begins to bubble (after around 45 minutes for 1-litre
jars) switch off the oven, but allow the jars to stand a further
30 minutes orso - around 15 minutes for tender fruit, e.g. straw­
berries - in the closed oven.
When bottling vegetables or meat, set back my oven tempera­
ture switch to 100 °C as soon as the liquid in thefirstjars 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 allow the jars to stand afurther 30 minutes in the closed oven.
