• When making preserves, only use
commercially available preserve jars
of the same size.
• Jars with twist-off or bayonet type
lids and metal tins are not suita-
ble.
• When making preserves, use the first
shelf position from the bottom.
• Use the baking tray for making pre-
serves. There is enough room on this
for up to six 1-litre preserving jars.
• The jars should all be filled to the same
level and clamped shut.

• Place the jars on the baking tray in
such a way that they are not touching
each other.
• Pour approx. 1/2 litre of water into the
baking tray so that sufficient moisture
is produced in the oven.
• As soon as the liquid in the first jars
begins to simmer (with 1--litre jars af-
ter about 35-60 minutes), switch off
the oven or reduce the temperature to
100°C. (See table.)
