Over-heating protection

The preserving pot is equipped with a safety heat switch which will disconnect the heating body in case of insufficient or no amount of water. If there is insufficient water in the preserving pot, an alarm sounds and a flashing symbol will display of a pan filling with liquid (upper left hand side of timer screen). Immediately add more water to a level sufficient for the process being performed. If water is not added the preserving pot will automatically turn off and must be allowed to cool.

Caution: f the appliance does not work after having been connected to the el. outlet, press button A8. The button is on the bottom of the appliance.

PREPARING FOR USE

Remove all packaging material and remove the appliance with accessories. Remove all adhesive foils, stickers or paper from the appliance. Wash all parts, which will come in touch with food in hot water with soap, rinse them thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry or let dry before first use. Make sure that the power supply cord is not damaged and that it is not led underneath the appliance or over any sharp or hot surfaces. The socket must be readily accessible so that the appliance could be easily disconnected from the mains in case of danger. Pour clean drinking water into the appliance up to about 6 liters. Set the temperature regulator B2 into “100” position and the timer regulator B3 into “30” position. Wait until the water reaches boiling point and let it boil for at least 10 minutes. Let the appliance cool off and pour out the water. Potential short and moderate smoke or smell is not a fault and a reason for taking the appliance back. Place the appliance on a solid flat and dry surface (e.g. kitchen table),out of reach of children. If you are going to use the appliance for preserving in jars, insert the removable grid A6 and fill the container with sufficient volume of water, depending on the character and amount of the prepared food. Plug the fork of the power supply A7 in the el. plug. The preserving pot is now ready for use.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Display

After correctly assembling and connecting the appliance to the mains, the display will light (the shows the basic settings “80 30” (i.e. temperature/time) and then the pot is switched automatically to the stand-by regime after 10 sec. The left-hand side of the panel shows the set temperature (upper) and current temperature (lower) in degrees Celsius. The right-hand panel shows the time set in minutes.

Temperature setting

The appliance is equipped with an in-built thermostat, which enables you to set the temperature from approx. 100 °F to 212 °F (boiling point) with ± 8 % accuracy. When reaching the set temperature, it is automatically maintained (depending on the setting of the timer).

Setting the timer

The timer enables you to set a time in the range of 1 – 180 minutes. To increase the time desired, turn the regulator clockwise. To decrease it, counter-clockwise. When the set time runs out, the appliance turns off.

The process of preserving in a few steps

1. Insert the removable grid A6 on the bottom of container A3.
2. put in the mason jars (see Tips).
3. fill container A3 with the necessary volume of water.
4. put on the lid A5
5. plug the fork of the supply cord A7 into the el. outlet.
6. set the desired temperature of heating by turning the regulator B2 scaled between 30 °C and 100 °C.
7. set the desired time with the right hand regulator B3 scaled between 1 and 180 minutes.
8. press the left hand regulator B2 to turn on the heater – a succession of 6 vertical bars will show above the timer display to indicate that the heater is on.
9. when the set temperature has been reached (set temperature = current temperature) an alarm sounds and the timer starts (indicated by an hourglass timer symbol). This is the start of pasteurization/cooking time.
10. when the set time has elapsed the alarm sounds repeatedly.
11. When finishing or discontinuing the heating process, turn off the appliance by push the regulator B2.
12. Disconnect the appliance from the mains by pulling the power cord plug A7 from the power socket.

Note

• The heating up time is not included in the preserving time. The preserving time starts when the selected temperature has been reached; the timer will start to run from this point (the time to reach the set temperature is individual and depends on the volume of water, ambient temperature etc.).
• Do not drain the liquid with solid particles, eg. soups, goulash. Solid parts clog tap. The appliance is equipped with a release valve for easier release of liquids from container A3. If you are, however, preparing food with higher density (e.g. goulash).
• The liquid must be added into the appliance before turning it on. Make sure water does not boil out of the container during long-lasting heating!
• Do not overfill the container of the preserving pot, leave at least 4 cm of free space from the top end of the container.
• The outer part of the appliance warms up during the heating. Pay close attention and do not touch the hot spots.
• Use the container with a lid!
• Hot water may remain on the inner part of the lid! Be careful to prevent injuries (scalds or burns).

TIPS

The process of preservation is a traditional and proven method of keeping food. The Hyundai preserving pot also offers other uses, such as cooking, heating, preparing hot drinks (incl. mulled wine or punch), blanching of vegetables, etc. Follow your experience and general rules for cooking/ preserving. You may find a few of them below.

• It is very important that the food prepared is clean Fruit and vegetable should be of good quality, ripe and thoroughly cleaned. Rinse and dry the food well.
• Green beans and peas lasts longer if you blanch it first.
• Jars, bottles and their lids need to be rinsed in hot water, adding a little soap. Wash with clean water and let dry.
• Leave the closings in clean water until you use them.
• Do not use worn and damaged sealing, lids, jars or bottles.
• Fill the containers up to 2 cm from the top. When preserving soft food (puree etc.), leave room 3-4 cm from the top.
• When making smoked goods, fill the jars only up to ¾ of their volume.
• Close and seal the jars with screw-on lids, spring fasteners or clips.
• Close the jars (bottles etc.) right after conservation.
• Always put the jars on the removable grid – this will ensure good circulation of the boiling water around the jars, resulting in faster heating.
• You can use jars (containers) of various sizes and dimensions in this pot.
• The jars must be immersed in water from 2/3 to 3/4. Immerse the biggest jar in 3/4 (see pic. 2).
• The jars which are fully immersed are sealed, that is why no water gets to them.
• Heating of the full volume of the pot may take up to 1.5 hours, it is, therefore, more efficient and faster to preserve “in steam”. Pour approx. 5-10 cm of water into the pot, this volume will heat up faster and the steam created will preserve with up to 60 % energy savings.
• The temperature of water poured into the container should be approximately the same as the temperature inside of the jars.
• Look up the temperature and time for preservation in your recipes, possibly other books about preservation.
• Preserving starts only when the set temperature is reached.
• Take out the jars when the time needed for preservation is up.
• Store the preserved food in a cool, dark place.
• It is good to write the date of preservation and their contents on the jars.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Never immerse the appliance in water! Turn the appliance off by unplugging it from the outlet before any maintenance. Do not use coarse and abrasive cleaning agents (e.g. sharp objects, peelers, chemical solvents, thinning agents, caustic agents for cleaning ovens or other solvents)! Wipe the outer surface with a damp cloth with soap. Rinse the container from the inside and remove some possible sediments of limescale with a solution of citric acid or vinegar (then let boil with clean water). You can take apart the release valve A2 and clean it separately. Never dry the plastic die-cast over a heat source (e.g. stove, el./gas cooker). If the power cord is soiled, wipe it with a wet cloth. It is common for the surface color to change in time. This change, however, does not have any influence on the surface characteristics in any way and it cannot be subject to a complaint under warranty!

Cleaning of grommet valve

With one hand grip the tap and with the other hold the plastic nut on the inside of the tank. Turn the tap anticlockwise to unscrew. The knurled cap at the top of the tap can then be unscrewed to release the tap mechanism. Clean the grommet. In the reverse sequence insert the grommet into the valve groove. In the reverse sequence assemble the individual parts in the correct order and position (pull the valve tight with appropriate force).

CAUTION: Make sure that the bearing surfaces are clean and functional.
