Canning
•
The device can also be used for preserving foodstuffs in jars. A maximum of 14 1-liter
jars with a diameter of 11.5 cm can fit stacked in two levels in the tank.
•
Before canning, turn the temperature dial to the "OFF" position and remove the
device's plug from its socket.
•
Prepare the jars with the desired foodstuffs. Ensure they are tightly closed before being
placed in the tank.
•
Place the included grid at the bottom of the tank to ensure better circulation of
water under and around the jars, heating them quicker.
CAUTION!
Use only the provided grid. Galvanized sieves or graded inserts are not appropriate
and may reduce circulation, reducing the device's effectiveness.
•
Place the jars on the grid and pour enough water so that the jars are immersed to
approx. ¾ of their height. The water temperature should be close to the temperature
of the jars' contents to save time and energy.
CAUTION!
When preserving jars which are stacked on two levels, ensure that the bottom jars
are sealed tightly to prevent water from getting inside.
•
Put the device's lid on the tank.
Setting the canning temperature
•
Set the canning temperature depending on the product. Temperature and time
should be set in accordance with the information in the tables provided below or in
recipes.
•
Connect the device to a single grounded outlet.
•
When canning must be done at 100 ° C , set the temperature dial to the "MAX"
position.
NOTE!
Heating time is not part of the canning time. Count canning time at temperatures
from 30 ° C - 90 ° C from the moment the red control light goes off, and when the
temperature is set to "MAX" from the moment when the water begins boiling.
