Helpful hints and tips
Preserving - Bottom Heat
Things to note:
• 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 up to the same level 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 approx. 35 - 60 minutes with one-litre
jars), stop the oven or decrease the temperature to 100°C (see the table).
