OPERATION
NOTES ON OPERATION
Observe the following instructions before operating the device:
• Do not use a metal spatula or other sharp objects to stir food in the pot so as
not to damage the non-stick coating. You can use a wooden, plastic or rubber
spatula instead.
• Make sure that the stirrer is mounted correctly, otherwise the functionality of the
device may be impaired. Rotate and press the stirrer until it reaches the bottom
of the pot.
About cooking jams and jellies
Jams are made by cooking crushed or finely chopped fruit combined with pectin and
sugar. The end products is firm yet spreadable and contains fruit pieces.
Jellies are made by using fruit juice. This juice is used in place of Crushed or finely
chopped fruit which is then combined with pectin and sugar to make jelly. Jelly is a bit
firmer than jam and does not contain fruit pieces.
Pectin is a natural gelling ingredient derived from apple and citrus fruits. When used in
the preparation of homemade jams and jellies, pectin produces a more natural fresh fruit
flavor. Using pectin also makes the process of preparing home made jams and jellies
easier because less cooking is required to achieve the proper set.
Gelling sugar is a mixture of sugar, pectin and an acidifier (e.g. citric acid or tartaric
acid), is suitable for the production of jam and jelly and is offered for different mixing
ratios of fruit to gelling sugar (1:1, 2:1 and 3:1).
How to make jam
1. Prepare the required ingredients (e.g. selected fruits and preserving sugar in a
suitable mixing ratio).
2. As described in the section „Assembly" (p. 17, figures 3 and 4), insert the stirrer
into the pot with the blades towards the bottom. The post in the center of stirrer
should align with the hole in the bottom of the pot. Rotate and press the stirrer until it
reaches the bottom of the pot.
Note: To protect the internal motor, always be sure to insert the stirrer before adding
any liquids. This ensures that essential parts of the appliance are protected from
damage.
3. Plug in the appliance.
