Using Oven
Canning
Canning involves preserving food in glass jars. The
recommended cooking function for canning is Steam.
• Use only the best quality, ripe produce—ripe with no
rotten or damaged spots. Avoid produce which has been
heavily fertilized.
• Boil syrup before use and allow to cool.
• Place a maximum of six glass jars in the steamer tray.
• Leave space between the jars.
• After the bottling process is complete, remove the jars
carefully out of the oven and put them in a dry area where
they can cool.
• Seal the jars once they have cooled.
Dehydrating
The recommended cooking function for dehydrating is
TruConvec™ cooking.
• Use only ripe, healthy fruit, fresh mushrooms, and herbs.
• Place the washed and chopped fruit, mushrooms, or herbs
on baking parchment on the wire rack and place it at
desired level in the oven.
• Allows the maximum use of two wire racks simultaneously.
• Turn the food at regular intervals to help it dry evenly.
• Keep door open approximately 1” (2.5 cm).
