5.1 Pasteurizing / Canning

The appliance can be used to pasteurize up to 14 one-liter jars. Always refer to a reliable canning guide for specific processing times and temperatures for different foods.

1. Place the sterilization grid at the bottom of the pot.
2. Arrange filled and sealed canning jars on the grid. Ensure jars do not touch each other or the sides of the pot.
3. Fill the pot with water until the jars are covered by at least 2-3 cm (approximately 1 inch) of water. Do not exceed the maximum fill line.
4. Place the lid on the pot.
5. Plug the appliance into a power outlet.
6. Press the TEMPERATURE button and use the '+' / '-' buttons to set the desired pasteurization temperature (e.g., 90°C for fruits).
7. Press the TIME button and use the '+' / '-' buttons to set the required processing time (e.g., 30 minutes). The timer will only start counting down once the set temperature is reached.
8. Press the START button to begin the process. The display will show the current temperature.
9. Once the set time has elapsed, the appliance will beep and automatically switch to a keep-warm function or turn off, depending on the model's specific programming.
10. Carefully remove the hot jars using appropriate canning tongs. Allow them to cool completely before storing.
