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-litre 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 moisture
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 decrease the temperature to 100°C ( see table).
