Drying
With 4D hot air, you can dry foods with outstanding
results. With this type of preserving, flavourings are
concentrated by the dehydration.
Only use unblemished fruit, vegetables and herbs and
wash them thoroughly. Line the wire rack with
greaseproof paper or parchment paper. Drain the
excess water from the fruit and dry it.
If necessary, cut it into equal chunks or thin slices.
Place unpeeled fruit onto the dish with the sliced
surfaces facing upwards. Ensure that neither fruit nor
mushrooms overlap on the wire rack.
Grate vegetables and then blanch them. Allow the
blanched vegetables to drain off and distribute them
evenly on the wire rack.
Dry herbs on the stem. Position the herbs evenly and
slightly heaped on the wire rack.
Use the following shelf positions for drying:
■ 1 wire rack: Level 3
■ 2 wire racks: Level 3+1
Turn very juicy fruit and vegetables several times. After
drying, remove the dried products from the paper
immediately.
Recommended setting values
In the table, you can find settings for drying various
foodstuffs. The temperature and cooking time are
dependent on the type, moisture, ripeness and
thickness of the food to be dried. The longer you leave
the food to be dried, the better it will be preserved. The
thinner the slices are, the quicker the drying process
will be and the more aromatic the dried food will
remain. Setting ranges are indicated for this reason.
If you wish to dry additional foodstuffs, you should use
similar foodstuffs in the table as a reference.

Preserving
You can preserve fruit and vegetables using your
appliance.
:Warning – Risk of injury!
If the food is preserved incorrectly, the preserving jars
may burst. Follow the instructions for preserving.
Jars
Use only clean and undamaged preserving jars. Only
use heat-resistant, clean and undamaged rubber rings.
Check clips and clamps in advance.
For each preserving process, only use preserving jars
that are the same size and contain the same food. In
the cooking compartment, you can preserve the
contents of a maximum of six ^, 1 or 1^-litre
preserving jars at the same time. Do not use jars that
are larger or taller than this. The lids could rupture.
Preserving jars must not touch one another in the
cooking compartment during the preserving process.
Preparing fruit and vegetables
Only use fruit and vegetables that are in good condition.
Wash them thoroughly.
Peel, core and chop fruit and vegetables appropriate to
their type and fill the preserving jars with them up to
approx. 2 cm below the rim.
Fruit
Fill the preserving jars with the fruit along with a hot,
skimmed sugar solution (approx. 400 ml for a 1-litre
jar). For one litre of water:
■ Approx. 250 g sugar for sweet fruit
■ Approx. 500 g sugar for sour fruit
Vegetables
Fill the jars with the vegetables along with hot, boiled
water.
Wipe the rims of the jars, as they must be clean. Place
a damp rubber ring and a lid on each jar. Seal the jars
with clamps. Place the jars into the universal pan so
that they do not touch each other. Pour 500 ml hot
water (approx. 80 °C) into the universal pan. Use the
settings indicated in the table.

Ending the preserving process
Fruit
After a short while, small bubbles will form at short
intervals. Switch off the appliance once all preserving
jars are bubbling. Remove the jars from the cooking
compartment after the indicated cooling time.
Vegetables
After a short while, small bubbles will form at short
intervals. As soon as all preserving jars are bubbling,
reduce the temperature to 120 °C and allow the jars to
continue to bubble in the closed cooking compartment
as indicated in the table. After this time has elapsed,
switch off the appliance and make use of the residual
heat for several minutes as indicated in the table.
After preserving, remove the jars from the cooking
compartment and place them onto a clean cloth. Do not
place these hot jars onto a cold or damp surface, as
they may crack. Cover the preserving jars to protect
them from draughts. Only remove the clamps once the
jars are cold.
Recommended setting values
The indicated times in the settings table are average
values for preserving fruit and vegetables. They may be
influenced by room temperature, the number of jars,
quantity, heat and quality of the jar contents. The
specifications are based on 1-litre round jars. Before
you switch off the appliance or change the cooking
mode, check whether the contents of the jars are
bubbling as they should. The bubbling process starts
after approx. 30-60 minutes.
Type of heating used:
■ < 4D hot air
Prove dough
You can prove yeast dough in your appliance more
quickly than at room temperature. Use the top/bottom
heating type. Only start operation when the cooking
compartment has fully cooled down.
Always allow yeast dough to prove twice. Observe the
specifications in the settings tables for the 1st and 2nd
proving processes (dough fermentation and final
fermentation).
Dough fermentation
Use the settings indicated in the table and heat up the
appliance. Position the dough bowl on the wire rack.
Do not open the appliance door during the proving
process, as moisture will escape. Cover the dough with
a damp cloth.
Final fermentation
Place your baked item into the oven at the shelf position
indicated in the table.
If you want to preheat the oven, the final fermentation
takes place outside the appliance in a warm place.
Recommended setting values
The temperature and proving time are dependent on
the type and quantity of the ingredients. The values in
the table are therefore only meant to be average values.
