Familiarising yourself with your appliance
Function
- During the vacuum-sealing process, air is pumped out of the vacuum-sealing compartment and the bag.
- This produces a high vacuum in the compartment. The higher the vacuum-sealing level, the less air remains in the compartment and the bag, and the higher the pressure difference to the environment.
- Once the selected vacuum-sealing level has been reached, the heat-sealing bar is pressed against the silicone bar on the glass lid. During this, the bag is heat-sealed.
- After a short cooling time, air flows back into the compartment, creating a loud noise. During this process, the bag suddenly contracts and encloses the food. The drawer’s glass lid then opens.

Information on the display panel
How it works
- Here, you can find the ideal settings for various dishes as well as the best accessories and cookware. We have tailored these recommendations to your appliance.
Vacuum-sealing for sous-vide cooking
- You can use your vacuum-sealing drawer to prepare food for sous-vide cooking. Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking “under a vacuum” at low temperatures between 50–95 °C and in 100% steam or a bain marie.
- The vacuum-sealing drawer is used to heat-seal the food in a special air-tight, heat-resistant cooking bag.
- WARNING ‒ Risk of harm to health!
- Sous-vide cooking is a method of cooking at low temperatures and, if the instructions for use and hygiene instructions are not adhered to, it may result in in adverse health effects.
- Only use high-quality, perfectly fresh food.
- Wash and disinfect your hands.
- Use disposable gloves, cooking tongs, or grill tongs.
- Take extra care when preparing critical food, such as poultry, eggs, and fish.
- Always thoroughly rinse and peel fruit and vegetables.
- Always keep work surfaces and chopping boards clean.
- Use different chopping boards for different types of food.
- Only interrupt the cold chain briefly to prepare the food.
- Store vacuum-sealed food in the refrigerator before you start the cooking process.
- Once the food is cooked, consume it immediately.
- Do not store it after cooking – not even in the refrigerator.
- It is not suitable for reheating.
Notes
- Use the enclosed vacuum-sealing bags for sous vide cooking. You can reorder the vacuum-sealing bags.
- Do not cook the food in the bag in which you bought it (e.g. portions of fish). These bags are not suitable for sous-vide cooking.
- Position the items of food in the bag next to each other and not on top of each other.
- Vacuum-sealing for sous-vide cooking
- To achieve an even heat transfer and therefore a perfect cooking result, use the highest vacuum-sealing level to vacuum-seal food.
- Before cooking the food, check whether the vacuum in the bag is intact. To do this, refer to these points:
- There is no air in the vacuum-sealing bag.
- The heat-sealed seam is perfectly sealed.
- There are no holes in the vacuum-sealing bag.
- Do not use a core temperature probe.
- Pieces of meat or fish that have been vacuum-sealed together are not pressed directly against one another.
- Vegetables and desserts are vacuum-sealed flat.
- If the vacuum-sealing bag is not filled ideally, place the food into a new bag and vacuum-seal it again.
- Note: To prevent gases from escaping from the food, e.g. from vegetables, vacuum-seal the food no more than one day before the cooking process.
- The gases prevent the transfer of heat or cause the texture of the food to change, thus altering how it cooks, as a result of the vacuum pressure.
- Fast marinating and flavoring
- You can use your vacuum-sealing bag to quickly add flavor to or marinate food such as meat, fruit, and vegetables.
- Traditionally marinating your food usually takes a long time and is not particularly intensive.
- When you vacuum-seal in a bag, the food’s cell pores open. The marinade that is added can be absorbed quickly.
- This produces a more intensive taste in a much shorter time.
Storing and transporting food
- You can use the vacuum-sealing process to store your food for longer and can benefit from additional advantages.
- Due to the low-oxygen environment in the vacuum, freshly vacuum-sealed food remains edible for longer when it is stored correctly.
- The freezer burn is lower when the food has been frozen and vacuum-sealed.
- You can re-seal food, such as jams and sauces, in glass containers.
- The vacuum-sealing significantly increases the storage time.
- Store food such as cheese, fish, or garlic without any unpleasant odors. The hermetic sealing that takes place during vacuum sealing means that no unwanted odors can get out and the flavor cannot be absorbed by the other food.
- Sealed vacuum-sealing bags or vacuum-sealing containers are the ideal means of transport for liquid foods. They are easy to handle, leak-proof, and space-saving.
ATTENTION!
- Glass containers that are too tall may damage the appliance’s glass lid.
- Do not use glass containers that are taller than 80 cm.
Recommended settings
- This section provides you with recommendations for the vacuum-sealing levels for different foods. Observe the specific information on the recommended vacuum-sealing levels and on preparing the food.
- When stored appropriately, vacuum-sealed food remains fresh for significantly longer. Higher vacuum-sealing levels retain the quality, appearance, and ingredients of the food.
Notes
- Only use fresh food.
Notes
- Only use screw-top jars that are robust and intact.
- Only tighten the container by hand. The container is automatically sealed by the vacuum-sealing process.
- Not all jars or lids are suitable for being re-sealed under a vacuum. After vacuum-sealing, check whether a vacuum has been formed.
- A lid that is curving inwards and can only be opened with a lot of force is an indication that the vacuuming process has worked.
- If the lid makes a clicking sound when it is pushed in and released and if it is easy to open, no vacuum has occurred. Repeat the vacuuming process or use more suitable screw-top jars.
- Check the quality of the food before vacuum-sealing it.
- Only vacuum-seal cold food – within a temperature range of 1–8 °C is best.
- Start at the lowest of the recommended vacuum sealing levels.
- Check the quality of the food after you remove it from storage. Do not use any food that is of dubious quality.
Food that is stored at room temperature (20 °C to 23 °C)
