Making preserves

Oven functions: Ventitherm ® Fan Operated Cooking
• 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 suitable.
• When making preserves, use the first shelf position from the bottom .
• Use the baking tray for making preserves. 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 starts to simmer (after approx. 35-60 minutes with
1 litre jars), switch the oven off or reduce the temperature to 100°C (see table).
