Time Setting Mode; Switching Off The Appliance; Appliances With A Tap; Preserving - BIELMEIER BHG 411.0 Guide D'utilisation

TIME SETTING MODE

Press ‚Temp./Time' twice
The time symbol (min) blinks and the time that
was last set is indicated and can be changed by
the ‚Minus' or ‚Plus' button, respectively .
If after starting the time setting mode or after
changing the time by means of the ‚Minus' or ‚Plus'
button no entry is made for 5 seconds, the time
setting mode is left and the appliance returns to
the operating mode . Upon reaching the set tem-
perature (nominal temperature), the time that was
last set is counted down .
‚Minus' button
Count down of the time; when pressing the but-
ton shortly, a countdown number by number is ef-
fected; (1 minute = lowest possible setting) . If you
keep the button pressed, countdown is done fast .
If the appliance was set to continuous operation
mode before choosing the time setting mode (ti-
me indicated: – – min), the display changes from
– – continuous operation mode to 120 min and
then countdown to 0 min is started .
‚Plus' button
Count up of time; when pressing the button short-
ly the time is count up number by number; (120
minutes / – – continuous operation = maximum
setting) . If you keep the button pressed, count up
is done fast .
To change again to the continuous operation mo-
de, the time must be set to – – continuous operati-
on in time setting mode . Even during countdown
of the time it is possible to change temperature
and time .

SWITCHING OFF THE APPLIANCE

Switch off by pressing the button
‚On/Off ' .
The appliance may be switched off any time . Time
settings made in the time setting mode will not
be saved .
22
The last temperature setting is saved and is dis-
played again after restarting the boiler, even if the
appliance had been disconnected from the mains
in the meantime .
It is necessary to pull the plug from the socket after
switching off the appliance .

APPLIANCES WITH A TAP (6)

Thin liquids can be poured from the pot through
the tap (6) . To avoid blockages occurring when
preparing foods with a thick, viscous consis tency,
we recommend that you seal off the tap from in-
side the appliance, e . g . with a plug .
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

PRESERVING

First things fi rst: Grandma's rules for canning and
preserving still hold true! Preserving simply means
sterilizing without chemical preserving agents .
The even heat that is generated kills bacteria in
the food, while, at the same time, the resulting
vacuum enables air-tight, sterile sealing of the
preserving jar .
But . . . the preserving pot has come quite a way
since Grandma's day! BIELMEIER preserving cook-
ers make things so easy that Grandma would
have been glad to have one of her own!
PRESERVING – HOW IT'S DONE!

Preparation and cleanliness are of the ut-
most importance when preserving food.

Choose fresh, ripe, high-quality fruit and vegetables .

Wash fruit and vegetables whole and leave to dry .

Green beans and peas keep for longer if they
are blanched fi rst .

Carefully wash jars, cans and bottles in hot
water, rinse them clear and leave them on a
clean cloth to dry .

Check all containers for any stubborn residues
and for damage .

Wash the seals in hot soapy water and then
leave them in clean water until they are needed .

Do not use any porous, damaged or stretched
rubber rings or rubber caps .

To fi ll the containers:
– The containers should only ever be fi lled up
to 2 cm at most below the mouth of the jar .
– For foods with a mushy consistency (e . g .
apple sauce), leave 3 – 4 cm headspace
between the top of the preserve and the
mouth of the jar .
– For sausages of any kind, only fi ll the con-
tainer ¾ full .
– For foods that will swell during the preserv-
ing process (e . g . cake mixture), only fi ll the
container up to ½ full .
– Please also note the instructions provided
by the jar manufacturer .
(Fig. 1)

Seal the containers tightly with screw-caps,
fasteners or clamps .

Always place the jars on the grating insert (not
included) when putting them into the cooker .
Diff erent sized jars can be used .

Ensure that the glasses are ⁄ to ¾ sub-
merged in the water . If you are using two lev-
els of jars, this applies to the upper level .
The optimal water fi ll levels:

The water temperature should be roughly the
same as the temperature of the jars when you
place them in the cooker . This saves both time
and energy .

Place the lid (1) on the pot (2) .

Connect the appliance to the mains . Check
your recipe or the preserving chart for the
required preserving temperature and time
and make the corresponding settings on your
BIELMEIER preserving cooker .

The time taken for the cooker to heat up does
not count as part of the preserving time . The
preserving time does not start until the se-
lected temperature is reached .

Unplug the appliance once the preserving pro-
cess is complete .

Remove the jars . Leave the clamps on the jars
until they have cooled down completely . At this
point, place the jars immediately in cold water .

Your preserves are best stored in a cool, dry
and dark place .

It is useful to label each container with the
date and its contents .

Refer to your cookery books for information
and ideas on preserving fruit, vegetables,
meat, etc . For some ideas, why not check out
our recipe section on page 25 .
