Switching the Appliance On / Off
• Switch on the appliance with the temperature control
knob.
- There may be deviations in the set temperature and
the actual temperature, depending on the ambient
temperature and the contents in the container.
• To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature control
knob to OFF.
Heating Indicator Light
• The indicator light is on during heating.
• When the set temperature is reached, the indicator
light goes out. The preserving time begins. The time for
heating up does not count with.
• The indicator light switches on and off during operation.
This is normal and displays that the temperature is ther-
mostatically controlled and maintained.
Tips for Preserving
Cleanliness in preparation is paramount for reasons of shelf
life.
Fruit and vegetables should be of good quality, fresh and
ripe.
You can nd out how and in what many different ways you
can preserve fruit and vegetables, for example, in your
recipes.
Preparing the Preserves
Wash fruit and vegetables well, unchopped, and drain.
- Green beans and peas are more durable if they are
blanched before preserving.
Preparing the Jars and Closures
1. Clean the jars, lids and caps with hot rinsing water. Rinse
with clear water and let everything drip off on a clean
cloth.
2. Check the jars for adhering residues and damage.
3. Leave the caps in clear water until you are ready to use
them. Do not use porous, damaged or overstretched
rubber rings.
4. Fill the jars to 2 cm below the rim. For mushy preserves
(e. g. apple puree) leave 3 – 4 cm space to the rim. For
sausage of all kinds, ll the jars only ¾ full.
5. Close the jars tightly with screw caps, clamps or clips.
Preserving

WARNING: Breakage of Glass!
Do not put cold glasses in hot water, but preheat them.
• Make sure that the temperature of the water and the
temperature of the glasses are approximately the same
when inserting the glasses.
• You can cook 14 jars at the same time in your preserving
boiler when using “Weck round rim jars 100” and the
associated clamps.
• The highest jar must be approx. ¾ surrounded by water.
• With double occupancy, the bottom layer is thus ooded.
• Only operate the appliance with the lid on.
• Preserving times must never be fallen short of. In cases of
doubt, use higher values.
After Preserving
The same water can be used for several successive pre-
serving times.
•
WARNING: Risk of Burns!
The glasses are hot.
When you have nished preserving, carefully remove the
jars, place them on a cloth and cover them with a cloth.
• Leave the clamps on the jars until they are completely
cool.
• We recommend labelling the jars with the date and
contents after they have cooled.
• Preserves are best stored in a cool, dry place in the dark.
