Air, light and temperature above 0 °C make food easily perishable. The process of vacu-
um packing removes up to 90% of air inside the bag or container and seals it air-tight.
However, please note that perishable food must still be cooled or cooked. But in most cases
vacuum packing elongates shelf life considerably.
• The vacuum prevents oxidation of food. Additionally, it reduces growth of micro-orga-
nisms and bacteria.
• It blocks scent and preserves food´s distinct taste, colour, nutrient and freshness. It redu-
ces bad odours in the refrigerator.
• Ingredients such as grain, flour, rice, cake ingredients, nuts and spices can be vacuumed.
• It lengthens food´s freshness up to 5 times, compared with otherwise same storage conditions.
• It preserves the natural colour of frozen food and protects frozen food from freezer-burn.
• With this appliance you can vacuum seal for example, matches, first aid kits, clothing,
photos, important documents & collections, books, jewelry, items such as screws, nails,
rivets to protect these items from moisture (eg . while camping) or transport them or to pro-
perly stow. Silver jewelry can be protected by vacuuming largely from tarnishing.
imPortant instructions
• Do not use damaged or unsuited containers for vacuum packing. Always handle contai-
ners under vacuum with special care. This is crucial to avoid bursting. Do not consume any
food that has been in a damaged container, because splinters could cause severe injuries.
• Only use the designated foils or bags with the appliance. Any other plastic bags will melt
on the sealing band. Leftover plastic on the sealing band damage the sealing band and
prevent the generation of vacuum.
• The appliance is not suited for continuous operation. Please wait after each vacuum
procedure until the appliance has cooled down before starting again.
• When vacuum packing pay attention that no food particles, liquids, or grease are in the
sealing section of the plastic bag or container. The brim of the foil or container must be
smooth and clean. Otherwise no vacuum can be generated.
