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 relling with
water, otherwise there is a risk of burns from hot steam. This can also damage
the enamel surface. Odor may occur during rst 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, ll 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 o 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 sucient for household use. Appropriate canning jars with
screw caps or caps with rubber rings are required.
