► Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing. Foreign matter or
creases on the bag may result in a faulty seal.
► Press the bag to expel excess air before vacuuming it. Too much air inside the bag
may result in a poor vacuum.
► If the food you're sealing has sharp edges (such as bones or shells) pack the edges
with kitchen paper to avoid tearing the bag
► We suggest you allow one minute of time in between sealing sessions to allow the
sealer to cool.
► When vacuum sealing liquid-based foods (such as soups or stew) freeze them first in
a baking pan or tempered dish before bagging and vacuum sealing them.
► Blanch vegetables by cooking them briefly in boiling water. Allow them to cool then
vacuum seal them in convenient portions.
► When vacuum sealing unfrozen food, allow at least two additional inches of bag length
for expansion while freezing. Place unfrozen meat or fish on a paper towel and
vacuum seal with the paper towel in the bag to absorb any extra moisture.
► Before storing foods such as tortillas, crepes or bread, use wax or parchment paper
between them to stack the pieces. This will make it easier to remove an individual
piece, reseal the rest and immediately replace them in the freezer.
Use of the function "Adjustable vacuum strength"
16.5
Since the pressure of the vacuuming becomes too strong for specific foods and these
could be crushed in the bag, you can adjust the length and strength of the vacuuming
process via the function "Adjustable Vacuum strength". So you can adjust the vacuum
strength to the consistency of your vacuum food and also seal soft foods (for example
berry fruit) without crushing them.
Due to the time and pressure control, the crushing of delicate foods is prevented. You can
also use this function for the packaging of juicy foods to prevent that fluids are aspirated
and drawn out.
Adjustable Vacuum strength
1. Put the foods you want to store into the bag.
2. Clean and smooth the open end of the bag and be sure that there are no folds or
waves on the surfaces of the open ends.
3. Be sure that the open end of the bag is within the vacuum chamber seal. This
guarantees that there is no escape of the vacuum.
4. Close the cover. Turn the lever clockwise until the cover is latched. Press the button
"Vakuumstärke". As long as you press the button, air is withdrawn. Only when you
release the button, the process stops. Thus you can exactly control the vacuum and
prevent the liquid from being sucked. Please hold the button pressed until the required
vacuum has been reached.
5. Then press the button "Schweißen" and seal the bag.
** Press the button "Stop" to interrupt the process.
