Frequently Asked Questions - KH 1135 PRESERVING BOILER BIFINETT

How to use the appliance for the first time?

Before first use, clean the appliance with a damp cloth. Fill it with about 5 liters of water and bring to a boil (set the thermostat to maximum) to remove manufacturing residues. Let it cool, empty, and dry.

What is the maximum jar capacity?

You can pasteurize or sterilize up to 14 jars of 1 liter in two stacked layers. Make sure the bottom jars are well sealed to prevent water ingress.

How to set the temperature and time for optimal preservation?

Use the tables provided in the manual: for example, for strawberries, set to 80 °C for 25 minutes; for beans, set to 100 °C for 120 minutes. The preservation phase begins when the indicator light turns off.

Can the appliance be used to heat drinks?

Yes, you can heat and keep warm drinks like mulled wine or chocolate. Fill up to 4 cm below the rim to avoid overflow. Use the drain tap to serve.

Unscrew the tap lever to disassemble it. Clean it in soapy water, rinse. Run soapy water through the tap, then rinse with clear water. Use a pipe cleaner for stubborn dirt.

Does the appliance need descaling?

Yes, as soon as limescale deposits appear on the bottom. Use a commercial descaling product following the instructions. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water.

What are the essential safety precautions?

Never immerse the electrical base in water. Only use the insulated handles to move the hot appliance. Always unplug after use. Do not move the appliance while it is operating.

What to do in case of breakdown or malfunction?

Contact Kompernass after-sales service at the number indicated in the manual. Do not attempt to repair it yourself. The 3-year warranty covers manufacturing defects.

Can I keep soups or cooked dishes warm?

Commissioning

Installation of the appliance

• Completely unwind the power cable from the cable retainer ⑤.
• Place the appliance on a level and slip-free surface. Ensure that a wall power socket is easily accessible.

Preparing the appliance for use

Clean the appliance as described in the chapter "Cleaning and Care".
- Insert the power plug into a power socket.
- Fill the appliance with ca. 5 liters of water and bring it to the boil (see chapter "Switching the appliance on and off").

Attention:

When it is hot, take hold of the appliance ONLY by means of the heat insulated handles ②. Risk of Burns!

① Note:

On the first use the generation of a slight smell can occur, due to residues from the production. It is completely harmless and disperses after a short time. Provide for sufficient ventilation, for example, open a window.

Switching the appliance on and off

Adjust the temperature regulator 6 to the desired heating level.

The control lamp ① glows. When the set temperature has been reached, the temperature control lamp ② goes out. The control lamp glows during operation when the temperature falls below the set level and the fruit preserver needs to heat itself back up.

When you wish to switch the appliance off, turn the temperature controller 3 to the position OFF.

When the appliance is not in use, always remove the plug from the wall power socket.

Preserving

To be understood under the term preserving is the conservation of foodstuffs by, amongst others, the effects of heat. Dependent upon the type and mass of the items to be preserved, a differentiation is made between the processes of sterilisation and pasteurisation.

In sterilisation, the items to be preserved are heated to a temperature of at least 100^ . With pasteurisation the heating temperature lies by 80^ . For domestic use pasteurisation is sufficient.

To achieve this, you need appropriate preserving jars, with screw-tops or lids with rubber rings, and a fruit preserver.

1. Place the preserving grill in the fruit preserver.
2. Stand the well sealed preserving jars on the preserving grill 8.

① Note:

A maximum of 14 × 1 liter preserving jars, in two layers, one above the other, can be pasteurised/sterilised.

1. Fill the fruit preserver with sufficient water to ensure that the upper jars are submersed in water to at least 3/4 of their height. Ensure that the preserving jars in the lower layer are firmly sealed, so that water cannot infiltrate them.

2. Close the fruit preserver with the lid 1.

Attention:

When it is hot, take hold of the appliance ONLY by means of the heat insulated handles ②. Risk of Burns!

1. Adjust the temperature controller ⑥ to the desired heating level.

Use the following tables when selecting a temperature setting:

Fruit	Temperature in °C	Time in minutes

① Note:

The preserving phase begins when the control lamp extinguishes, indicating that the appliance has heated itself up to the programmed temperature. With a completely full appliance this can take up to 90 minutes!

1. When the preserving phase is finished, switch the temperature controller ⑥ to OFF. Remove the power plug from the wall socket.
2. Position a heat resistant container under the pouring tap 4 and press the pouring lever 3 down. The water drains itself.
3. When the water has drained away allow the preserving jars to cool down.

Heating and keeping liquids warm

Attention:

Fill the appliance with liquids to a maximum level of 4cm below the upper edge! If the level is any higher, the liquids could overflow!

1. Pour the liquid (for example, mulled wine or cocoa) into the fruit preserver.
2. Place the lid ① onto the fruit preserver.

Attention:

When it is hot, take hold of the appliance ONLY by means of the heat insulated handles ②. Risk of Burns!

1. Adjust the temperature controller ⑥ to the desired heating level. The control lamp ⑦ glows.
2. Regularly stir the liquid so that the heat is evenly distributed.

3. When the desired temperature has been reached, the temperature control lamp ① goes out. The control lamp glows during operation when the temperature falls below the set level and the fruit preserver needs to heat itself back up.

4. You can pour liquids that have no solid constituents through the pouring tap 4.

For this, hold a suitable receptacle under the pouring tap 4 and press the pouring lever 3 down.

When there is sufficient liquid in the receptacle, release the pouring lever 3.

① Note:

Should you wish to pour off a large volume of liquid, pull the pouring lever ③ upwards until it stays in position. Then you do not have to hold the pouring lever ③ .

Attention:

Do not pour off liquids with solid constituents, for example, soups. The solids will block the pouring tap ①!

① Note:

You can also keep stews warm in the fruit preserver. They need to be stirred regularly to prevent them sticking to the bottom of the appliance.

Cleaning and care

Attention:

Always remove the power plug before cleaning the appliance! Danger of electrical shock!

NEVER submerse the appliance in water or other liquids!

Clean the appliance with a lightly moist cloth. For stubborn soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth.

Attention:

Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning materials. These could attack the upper surfaces and irreparably damage the appliance.

Clean the preserving grill ⑥ in a mild soapy solution and rinse it with clear water.

Cleaning the pouring tap

To clean the pouring tap 4 thoroughly, you can unscrew the pouring lever 3.

• Dismantle the pouring lever ③.
• Place the pouring lever ③ in a mild soapy solution and swirl it back and forth.
• Rinse it off with clear water.
• To clean the pouring tap 4, allow a mild soapy solution to flow through it. Should there be stubborn soiling on the inside of the pouring tap 4 use a pipe cleaner or similar to remove it.
• Afterwards, rinse the pouring tap ① through with clear water.
• Re-assemble the pouring lever ③ back on to the pouring tap.

Scale removal

Deposits of scale on the bottom of the appliance lead to increased energy consumption and reduce the service life of the appliance.

Descale the appliance as soon as scale deposits become apparent.

• Use a standard commercial descaling product. Proceed as described in the instructions for usage of the descaler.
• After descending, rinse the appliance with lots of clean and clear water.

Storage

Wind the cable around the cable retainer ⑤ and insert the plug into the plug holder in the middle of the appliance base.

Store the fruit preserver at a cool and dry location.
