Operating the appliance The auto-preserving cooker is versatile in use, not only for preservation but also for cooking, heating, heating in water bath, preparing hot beverages, blanching vegetables etc. Thick food, which tends to scorch, needs to be heated slowly whilst stirring continuously. Temperature control/Setting the thermostat Theapplianceisequippedwithaprecisionthermostat(capillarytubethermostat).Thethermostatisinni- telyvariablefromapprox.30°Cuptotheboilingpoint.Anadditionalthermometerisnotrequired.Theset temperature will be controlled automatically as follows:

• Onapplianceswithout timer, the set temperature is reached when the pilot lamp glowing during theheating-upprocessextinguishesforthersttime.Onlyfromthattimewillthepreservingtime mentioned in the preserving table and cookbooks count down.

• Asforapplianceswith timer this is an automatic function, i. e. when the set temperature is reached the timer starts counting. Once the set time has elapsed, the appliance will switch off automatically. Here, the pilot lamp indicates the operation of the appliance irrespectively of the thermostat. In the “Entsaften”operatingmode,thetimerdoesnotstart.

• Forjuicemakingtheapplianceisequippedwithaspecialoperationmode,whichensurescontinuous heating. When the cooking process has been completed or needs to be interrupted, reset the temperature selector to off-position and disconnect the plug.15 Notes for cooking The boiling point of the water varies in accordance with the atmospheric pressure and the altitude of the location.

To fi nd the correct setting for boiling on your appliance, simply take the following steps:

For fully-automatic preserving calibrate the temperature selector to the appropriate temperature pursuant to the preserving table. Then set the timer to the desired preserving time. Now, the automatic preserving process will begin, with the pilot lamp glowing.

Preserving means sterilising food without adding any chemical preserving agents. The even heat that is generated kills the germs in theitemstobepreserved;atthesametimetheresultingvacuumsealsthejarhermeticallyandgerm-free. Only... the preserving cooker has come a long way since grandma‘s time! Auto-Preserving Cookers make it a lot easier, and grandma would have been glad to have one! The preserving process:
