Preserving
• Only use usual preserving jars of the
same dimension.
• Do not use jars with twist-off or bayonet
type lids and metal tins.
• Use the first shelf level from the bottom.
• Use the baking tray. You can put six 1-li-
tre jars maximum on it.
• Fill all the jars to the same level and close
them correctly.
• Put the jars on the shelf, make sure that
they do not touch each other.
• Fill approximately 1/2 litre of water into
the flat baking tray to have sufficient mois-
ture in the oven.
• When the liquid lightly starts to bubble in
the first jars (after about 35-60 minutes
with 1 litre jars), switch off the oven or de-
crease the temperature to 100°C ( see ta-
ble).

Information on acrylamides
Important! According to the newest
scientific knowledge, if you brown food

we recommend that you cook at the lowest
temperatures and do not brown food too
much.
