A significant amount of steam build-up
indicates when the boiling point has
been reached.
∙ When preserving food, never go below
the recommended cooking times; if in
doubt, a longer cooking time should
always be chosen.
∙ Once the preserving process is
complete, reset the thermostat to its
OFF-position.
∙ Disconnect the appliance from the
mains outlet.
∙ Remove the jars. Caution: beware of
the danger of scalding. Place the jars
on a cloth and use a second cloth to
cover them.
∙ Do not remove the clamps or lid
fasteners from the jars until they have
completely cooled down.
∙ When using tins for preserving food,
place them in cold water after preserving
is complete.
After the preserving process
∙ For several consecutive preserving
cycles, the water in the chamber may be
re-used.
∙ Do not place glass jars in hot water:
pre-heat the jars first.
∙ Bottles should be closed immediately
after the sterilisation process is
complete.
∙ It is advisable to mark the glass jars, tins
etc. with their date and contents for later
reference.
∙ The best way to keep preserved food is
in a dry, cool and dark environment.

∙ If the glass jars are not properly closed
after the preserving process, their
content will not keep long and should be
used up as soon as possible.
Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it
is disconnected from the power supply
and has cooled down completely.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do
not clean the preserving cooker under
running water and do not immerse it.
∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
∙ A damp cloth with a little detergent is
sufficient to clean the chamber, lid and
grid insert.
∙ Any lime deposits that may have formed
should be removed from time to time
with a commercially available, citric-
acid-based descaling agent suitable for
enamel. (For proper use of the descaling
agent, refer to the manufacturer's
information on the packaging). Caution:
Do not use vinegar. Afterwards boil
thoroughly with clean water. (The
grid insert must be removed prior to
descaling).
