Safety information for handling food

• Once perishable foods have been heated, defrosted or stored at room temperature, they must be consumed immediately.
• Before you vacuum pack food, wash your hands thoroughly, as well as any objects and surfaces that come into contact with food.
• Store perishable food in the refrigerator or freezer immediately after vacuum packing. Do not leave out at room temperature.
• Store dry foods, such as nuts, coconut or grains, in a dark place once vacuum-packed. This will extend their shelf life.
• To prevent the fats in particularly fatty foods from turning rancid, they should not come into contact with oxygen or warmth.
• Fruit and vegetables, such as apples, bananas, potatoes and root vegetables, that are peeled before vacuum packing can be stored for longer.
• Some vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage, produce gasses. In order to seal these foods and make them completely airtight, they must be briefly blanched and then frozen before vacuum packing.

Use

You can use the Lono vacuum packer to vacuum pack and seal various dry and moist foods in sachets or fi lm. Generally speaking, foods in vacuum-sealed packaging stay fresh eight times longer than when traditional storage methods are used. The flavor is also entirely preserved. Use the Lono vacuum packer to store cooked foods under an airtight seal. You can choose to store individual portions or entire meals. Vacuum pack meat, fish, poultry, seafood, fruit and vegetables for storage in the refrigerator or freezer. You can use the enclosed vacuum tube to vacuum pack delicate foods, such as berries, in containers designed specifi cally for this purpose.

Note: For perfect results, we recommend that you use the following WMF vacuum sachets and fi lm rolls, which have been optimally tailored to the appliance:

• Item no. 04 1997 0041: WMF vacuum sachets 200 x 300 mm
• Item no. 04 1998 0041: WMF vacuum fi lm rolls 300 x 6,000 mm

If you use vacuum sachets or fi lm rolls from another manufacturer, make sure that they do not exceed the maximum width of 30 cm and maximum fi lm roll diameter of 62 mm. The vacuum sachets and fi lm rolls must also be suitable for vacuum packing.

Before using for the first time

Cleaning

Before using the appliance for the first time, clean all parts thoroughly and dry them. Wipe the vacuum packer (1) with a slightly damp cloth and then dry the appliance. You must also observe the cleaning information in this instruction manual.

Initial operation

Each time before you use the appliance and after each time you seal food, you must thoroughly clean the vacuum packer and all parts that come into contact with food. You must also wash your hands thoroughly.

The lock-release lever must point towards the lock icon. The Dry Moist button lights up white (dry food). If you press it again it lights up blue (moist food).

Vacuum packing using sachets

1. Fill the vacuum sachet with food.
2. Clean and, if necessary, smooth down the open end of the sachet. Make sure that there are no wrinkles, folds or spices at the end of the sachet, as these prevent the appliance from sealing the sachet completely.
3. Now insert the mains plug into the socket.
4. Open the lid on the vacuum packer (1)
5. Place the sachet with the open side in the vacuum chamber (4). Make sure that the end of the sachet is roughly in the middle of the vacuum chamber, in order to produce an optimal vacuum.
6. Hold the vacuum sachet in place and close the lid.
7. Press and hold down the appliance’s lid and turn the lock-release lever (8) towards the lock icon until it is almost vertical.
8. The appliance is pre-set to vacuum pack dry foods, such as coffee beans, nuts and rice. If you would like to vacuum pack moist foods, such as marinated meat or blanched vegetables, press the MOIST DRY button once. The ring of light around the button will turn from white to blue to indicate that the Moist function has been activated. Note: After vacuum packing moist food, empty and clean the detachable vacuum chamber (4).
9. Then press the “SEAL VACUUM” button to seal the sachet after vacuuming. The ring of light around the button turns white. After vacuuming, the “Seal” button also lights up again until the welding process is complete.
10. Warning: do not end the welding process by yourself, because the welding may not have finished.
11. Note: If you have selected the wrong function by mistake, you can interrupt the process at any time by pressing the “STOP” button.
12. The appliance will turn off automatically once the process is complete.
13. To seal the sachet without first producing a vacuum, press the SEAL button. The ring of light will turn white for the duration of the sealing process.
14. Turn the lock-release lever (8) towards the lock icon, then open the lid on the vacuum packer.
15. If you have finished using the appliance, clean it, close the lid and turn the lock-release lever (8) until it reaches a horizontal position. In this position, the lid is only gently locked and the seals are protected.

Vacuum packing using film rolls in the detachable film box

1. Push back the cover on the detachable fi lm box (2).
2. Place the film roll in the film box. Ensure that the film roll is positioned in the film box as shown in the image. Then close the cover on the film box again.
3. Pull the film roll out of the film box. The film should come out at least 10 cm over the front edge of the film box.
4. Carefully lower the vacuum packer onto the hooks on the sides of the fi lm box. Make sure that the guides on both sides of the vacuum packer click into place. You will hear the click.
5. Now insert the mains plug into the socket.
6. Open the lid on the vacuum packer.
7. Remove the detachable cutting unit (6). You can remove this easily using the snap-on hooks on each side of the cutting unit.
8. Fold the excess film into the vacuum packer and reinsert the cutting unit. Make sure that the cutting unit is level and clicks into place on both sides.
9. 9. Place the fi lm sleeve with the open end on the welding bar (5). The film may enter the vacuum chamber (4) slightly at this point.
10. Hold the film sleeve in position and close the lid.
11. Then press the SEAL button to seal the fi lm sleeve. The ring of light will turn white for the duration of the sealing process.
12. After sealing, pull the film upwards to the desired length.
13. Fold the film forwards and cut it by pushing the knife that is integrated into the cutting unit from left to right.
14. Note: in order to cut the film optimally, it must be pressed against the cutting unit.
15. The resulting film pouch can now be filled with food and vacuumed and sealed as described under “Vacuum packing using sachets”.

Using the vacuum tube

You can use the vacuum tube to vacuum suitable sachets and containers. Before you use it, check whether your sachet or container is suitable for vacuum packing using a vacuum tube (9).

1. Remove the vacuum tube from the storage box (9) and connect it to the designated opening on the right-hand side of the vacuum packer.
2. Now insert the mains plug into the socket.
3. Press and hold down the appliance’s lid and turn the lock-release lever (8) towards the lock icon until it is almost vertical.
4. Now attach the tube to the sachet/container.
5. Then press the VACUUM TUBE button to extract the air from the sachet/container. Note: The volume of air to be extracted may vary depending on the sachet/container used.
6. The appliance will turn off automatically once the process is complete.
7. Now close the valve or the seal on the sachet/container to prevent air from entering.
8. Remove the vacuum tube and store it in the storage box (9) provided.
9. Turn the lock-release lever (8) towards the lock icon, then open the lid on the vacuum packer.
