Big vacuum bags which are not fully filled require longer vacuum packaging time;
smaller bags may be vacuum packed faster.
If necessary increase the vacuum packaging time, to make a more tightly sealed
bag.
To ensure better results of food marinating, repeat the vacuum packaging
process 2 or 3 times.
Always check seal seams to make sure that they are clear, even and were evenly
applied.
In the winter and on colder days, the vacuum packaging time should be increased by
one or two seconds to achieve better results of sealing.
Keep an open end of the vacuum bag clean and dry. If an open end of the vacuum
bag is moist, the vacuum packaging time should be extended by another two
seconds.
Selection of vacuum bags
Vacuum bags are delivered in various sizes. Select the size appropriate for food
products to be packed. Make sure that the vacuum bag is at least 7 cm bigger
than the packed product and include another 2 cm for successive use of the
vacuum bag.
NOTE!
For vacuum packaging use only special vacuum packaging bags (one-side
corrugated, extruded bags for vacuum packaging).
Making vacuum bags from foil rolls

Connect the device to a single grounded outlet.
To switch the device on, set the
ON/OFF
switch at the rear wall of the device in
“I“
position.
“Vacuum Time“
(D) indicator and
“Seal Time“
(E) indicator come on.
Set the appropriate vacuum packaging time and sealing time for a selected foil roll.
Open the lid of the device and insert an open end of the foil roll in the vacuum
chamber of the device. Make sure the foil is placed correctly on the sealing strip.
Close the lid.
