How to vacuum-pack in a plastic bag (foil)
8. After sealing the bottom of the plastic bag and ensuring that the seam is leak-
proof you can fill the plastic bag with food.
NOTE: For best results do not overload the plastic bag. Leave approximately 8 cm
of space above the food when cutting the foil, otherwise the appliance can not
generate a vacuum.
NOTE: Pre-freeze moist food before vacuum sealing. This way no liquids can get
sucked into the appliance and the food will not get pressed.
9. Place the open end of the plastic bag in the middle of
the gasket into the vacuum chamber (picture H). This is
very important for vacuum sealing because otherwise the
appliance can not generate a vacuum. The smooth surface
of the plastic bag should face upwards.
ATTENTION: When vacuuming in foil pay attention that no food particles, liquids,
or grease is in the sealing section of the plastic bag.
10. Close the lid and ensure that the lid is securely locked. The lock will snap in (you
will hear a clicking sound when the lid snaps in). The appliance is now ready for use.
11. Press the - button (picture F). The appliance starts to operate. The control light
starts blinking orange. The orange light indicates that the appliance is generating a
vacuum. As soon as the vacuum procedure is finished the light blinks red. The red light
indicates that the appliance is in the sealing mode. The bag is sealed when the indicator
light constantly shows a green light.
12. Press the unlock button on the lid to release the vacuum pressure (picture G). Press
the lock/release buttons on the sides of the lid simultaneously to open the lid and take
out the plastic bag.
ATTENTION: The sealing band gets hot during the sealing process. Beware touching
the hot sealing band with any parts of your body or heat-sensitive items.
13. Check if the weldseam is even. The bag is sealed and leak-proof when you see
a smooth line with no interruption of a pattern on the seam and the vacuum is kept.
The appliance is not for continuous operation. Please wait 2 minutes after one
vacuum procedure before starting another.
14. Pull the plug out of the power outlet when you have finished operating.
