GENERAL INFoRMATIoN

Capacity: The BIELMEIER preserving cooker has a
capacity of 29 litres . The level of liquid in the cook­
er must be no higher than 4 cm below the rim .
The appliance can be used in many different
ways: preserving, heating in a water bath, prepar­
ing hot drinks, cooking*, reheating*, blanching
vegetables*, etc .
Thick food that tends to burn easily requires slow,
constant stirring . *
If your appliance ever boils dry, an additional dry­
running protection feature prevents damages at
the heating element . Allow the appliance suffi­
cient time to cool down before refilling it with
water . This avoids the risk of scalding due to
steam formation . Steam can also damage the
surfaces of appliances made with enamel .
An odor may develop for a short time the first time
you use the appliance .
For reasons of hygiene, fill the appliance with
approx. 6 litres of water – set the tempera-
ture control switch (4) to the "Entsaften" (juice
making) setting – and bring to the boil before
you use the appliance for the first time.
