process begins when the thermostat
switches the pilot light off for the fi rst time.
The heating-up time is not counted in the
cooking process.
∙ If boiling point is reached during operation
although the thermostat has been set to
a point below the ‘Cooking’ position, turn
the thermostat slightly lower so that the
pilot light goes out. A signifi cant amount of
steam build-up indicates when the boiling
point has been reached.
∙ When the temperature selector is set to
the ‘Cooking’ position, the pilot light will
be permanently switched on.
∙ 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 ‘●’-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 container may be
re-used.
∙ Do not place glass jars in hot water: pre-
heat the jars fi rst.
∙ Once the preserving process is complete,
do not completely empty the container
right way, but leave enough water to
cover the bottom and then allow the
container to cool down fi rst.
∙ 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.
Models equipped with outlet tap
This appliance has a practical outlet tap for
pouring out low-viscosity liquids (e.g. mulled
wine). The grid insert must be removed prior
to heating up such liquids. Please note that
this appliance is not suitable for heating up
liquids in commercial settings.
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.
∙ The interior and exterior surfaces of the
appliance and the lid may be wiped with
a slightly damp lint-free cloth (use a mild
detergent as necessary).
∙ The non-stick coated heating area should
only be cleaned with a slightly damp lint-
free cloth or a soft brush.
∙ Any lime deposits that may have formed
should be removed from time to time with
a commercially available descaling agent.
(For proper use of the descaling agent,
refer to the manufacturer’s information
on the packaging). Afterwards boil
