USING THE SEALER

Vacuuming and sealing

1. Plug the appliance into the mains.
2. Ensure the vacuum bag‘s opening is debris-free and smooth.
3. Position the bag‘s open end in the drain groove and place it in a bag holder. (See Fig. 1)
4. Secure the lid until a „click“ is heard (See Fig. 2).
5. Use the Vac Seal button for vacuuming and sealing (See Fig. 3).
6. Press the side-opening buttons to release and retrieve the bag (See Fig. 4).

Note:
A textured (embossed) bag is required for vacuum sealing. Regular bags can only be sealed.

Sealing

1. Place the bag‘s open end between the sealing strip and seal (See Fig. 5).
2. Secure the lid with both hands until a „click“ is heard.
3. Press the Seal button.
4. Press the release buttons on both sides, open the lid and retrieve the bag (See Fig. 4).

This vacuum sealer features an NTC Intelligent temperature regulation system to guard against overheating. Should the sealing strip‘s temperature surpass the predetermined safety threshold, the device automatically shifts to a protective mode, during which an indicator will blink and the controls become temporarily inactive. When the sealing strip cools down to a secure temperature, typically in about 2 minutes, the flashing indicator ceases, and the machine resumes its standard function.

Note:
For optimal safety, it‘s advisable to allow a 30-second interval between consecutive sealing cycles.

USING THE CUTTER

1. Remove the cutter from its compartment within the vacuum sealer.
2. First, make a slight incision on one side of the bag using the cutter.
3. Hold the bag‘s open end and glide the cutter from one side to the opposite end.

TIPS

• Fill a bag with water (up to 2/3 full), seal it (without vacuuming), and freeze. This can act as a cooling pad in ice buckets or as an ice pack for sports injuries.
• Vacuum-sealing extends protection to non-food items, guarding them against oxidation, corrosion, and moisture. This is ideal for items like photos, documents, stamps, books, jewellery, cards, cosmetics, medications, and metals.
• Use the sealer for marinating. The vacuuming process enhances marination by opening food pores, ensuring flavours are absorbed more quickly.
• Beware: The sealing strip can get extremely hot. Allow a cooling period of around 90 seconds.
• For foods with sharp edges like bones or fish, shield the pointy parts with plastic wrap or another bag to avoid bag puncture.
• Before vacuum-sealing wet foods, it‘s wise to pat them dry or enclose them in a plastic bag or wrap.
• Vacuum sealing doesn‘t replace the need for canning. Always store perishable items in the fridge or freezer.
• Vacuuming might occasionally let out minor liquid or food crumbs. Clean the drain groove after every use.
• Ensure there‘s a 5-7 cm gap at the bag‘s end for proper sealing.
• When using the film, make sure its edge remains at least 3 cm away from the contained items.
• Avoid sealing along edges that have pre-existing factory seals.
• Prevent bag wrinkles by smoothing the film’s surface before vacuum-sealing.
• For food safety reasons, refrain from vacuum-sealing fresh mushrooms, onions, garlic, and soft cheeses.
• Be mindful: Vegetables can release gases, causing vacuum bags to bloat after several days. Pre-freezing veggies and storing them refrigerated is advised.
