16.3 Preserve food with vacuum:
Place the unit on a dry place. Make sure the working area in front of the unit is free of
obstacles and wide enough to accommodate the food bags.
1. Put the food that you want to preserve inside the bag.
2. Clean and straighten the open end of the bag, make sure that there are no wrinkles or
ripples on the panels of the open ends.
3. Make sure that open end of the bag are located within the vacuum chamber. (see
Step1)
4. Close the cover. (see Step 2).
5. Press the "Vakuum & schweißen"-Button (dry or moist) and the corresponding LED
control light starts flashing, then the bag will be automatically vacuumed and sealed.
6. Open the lid when the device beeps. (see Step3).
7. Check the appearance of the sealed bag; it should have a stripe across the seal and no
wrinkles otherwise the seal may not be complete.
8. If you need to interrupt the vacuum operation (e.g. the bag is incorrectly positioned) first
presses the "Stop" button.
► Do not overstuff the bag; leave enough empty length in the open end of the bag (at
least a few inches) so that the bag can be properly placed in the vacuum chamber.
► Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may not seal properly.
► 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.
