12.14 Preserving
• Use only preserve jars of the same
dimensions available on the market.
• Do not use jars with twist-off and
bayonet type lids or metal tins.
• Use the first shelf from the bottom for
this function.
• Put no more than six one-litre
preserve jars on the baking tray.
• Fill the jars equally and close with a
clamp.
• The jars cannot touch each other.
• Put approximately 1/2 litre of water
into the baking tray to give sufficient
moisture in the oven.
• When the liquid in the jars starts to
simmer (after approximately 35 - 60
minutes with one-litre jars), stop the
oven or decrease the temperature to
100 °C (see the table).
