are unsuitable.
Shelf positions
• Use the 1st shelf position from the bottom for preserving.
Notes on preserving
• Use the baking tray for preserving. There is room for up to 6 preserv-
ing jars each with a capacity of 1 litre on this tray.
• The preserving jars should all be filled to the same level and closed.
• Position the preserving jars on the baking tray so that they do not
come into contact with one another.
• Pour about 1/2 litre of water into the baking tray so that there is
sufficient moisture in the oven.
• As soon as bubbles begin to appear in the liquid in the first jars
(for 1-litre jars this takes about 35-60 minutes), switch off the oven
or reduce the temperature to 100 °C (see table).
