Frequently Asked Questions - Biggie Small Klarstein

How to turn on the appliance?

Set the thermostat to the desired temperature, set the on/off switch to "I", then turn the timer knob counterclockwise to Cont. for continuous operation or to a set time.

How to set the temperature and time?

Use the thermostat knob to select the temperature (from 0 to Max). Once the temperature is reached, a beep sounds: then set the timer to the desired time (up to 60 min or continuous). The appliance shuts off automatically at the end.

What is the maximum filling capacity?

For canning, the liquid must be at least 4 cm below the rim of the pot. For heating liquids, do not exceed 5 cm below the top edge to avoid overflow.

How to clean the appliance?

Let it cool completely, unplug. Clean the bottom of the tank with a soft brush or damp cloth. Never use sharp or hard objects. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth then dry. Never immerse the appliance in water.

Can I use the appliance to cook food?

Yes, it can be used to cook food, heat water and other liquids, blanch vegetables, cook in a water bath, or prepare hot drinks. Stir thick food slowly to prevent burning.

How to use the drain tap?

Place the appliance in the sink or a bathtub, then push the tap down to drain the water. Caution: do not use the tap when heating liquids with pieces (punch, soup) to avoid clogging.

What to do if the appliance does not heat?

Check that the on/off switch is set to "I" and the timer is set (either to a time or to Cont.). If the indicator light does not come on, the appliance may be in overheat protection: let it cool down before trying again.

Can I place jars directly at the bottom of the tank?

No, first place the support grid at the bottom, then stack the jars on it. This avoids direct contact with the heating surface and allows uniform heat circulation.

How long to sterilize vegetables like beans?

Refer to the sterilization table: for beans, set the thermostat to 100 °C and the timer to 120 minutes. The time starts as soon as the temperature is reached.

OPERATION

The appliance can be used both for boiling food and for heating water and other liquids.

General

• The appliance can be used in many ways: for preserving, cooking, heating in a water bath, preparing hot beverages, blanching vegetables, etc.
• Thick foods that tend to burn must be heated slowly with constant stirring.
• Should your appliance ever boil empty, an additional safety switch prevents overheating. Allow the appliance to cool down thoroughly before refilling with water, otherwise there is a risk of burns from hot steam. This can also damage the enamel surface. Odor may occur during first use, but will disappear after a short period of operation.

Capacity

The unit has a capacity of 20 liters. The liquid level may reach up to max. 4 cm below the upper edge of the housing.

Important notes

• For hygienic reasons, the unit should be boiled once.
• To do this, fill in approx. 4 liters of water, set the thermostat to max. and switch the unit on using the timer. To do this, set the switch-on knob clockwise to approx. 60 min. After the set time, the unit switches off automatically. After cooling down, the device can be used.

Notes on preserving

• Preserving is the process of preserving food without the use of chemical preservatives. The heat generated kills the germs present in the preserved food. At the same time, the resulting vacuum seals the preserving jar germ-free and airtight. Depending on the type and mass of the preserving material, a distinction is made between sterilization and pasteurization. In sterilization, the food is heated to at least 100°C. In pasteurization, the temperature is lower than in sterilization. For pasteurization, the heating temperature is 80°C.
• Pasteurization is sufficient for household use. Appropriate canning jars with screw caps or caps with rubber rings are required.

To enjoy boiled meat and vegetables safely, always boil these foods twice: The second heating after at least 24 hours. You can find more information about this at: https://www.bzfe.de/inhalt/einkochen-1348.html (Federal Centre for Nutrition)

Switching the device on and off

1. Set the thermostat to the desired temperature Set the on / off switch to „I“.

4. The temperature is then held at the set value. The temperature light will go out, but every now and then will light up again when the temperature falls below the set value and the device must heat up again. A constant temperature is important for the quality of the preserve.
5. When the cooking time has elapsed the device switches off automatically.
