and take out the foil.
IMPORTANT: The sealing band could get hot after repeated
sealing processes. Do not touch the sealing band with an parts
of your body or heat-sensitive items immediately
after sealing.
8.Check if the seam is even and smooth. The bottom of the bag
is sealed properly, if there is a smooth line with no inter ruption
and crease on the seam. If in doubt, just place another seal
near the first one.
2.Check the proper installation of the dripping tray.
The brim of the dripping tray may not protrude the
foam rubber seal of the vacuum chamber.
3.Place the open end of the bag in the middle of
the sealing gasket. If you wish to generate a
vacuum, the bag must reach into the vacuum
chamber
(picture F).
TIP: Ensure that no food particles, liquids, or
grease are in the sealing section of the bag.
Otherwise the seam could
be leaking.
4.Close the lid and press the lid down at the
marked lines
(picture G).
Ensure that the lid is
securely locked and the lock has engaged (you
will hear a clicking sound when
the lid snaps shut). The appliance is now ready for
use.
How to Vacuum-Pack in a Plastic Bag/Foil
1.After sealing the bottom of the bag and ensuring that the seam is air-tight, you can fill the
bag. For this, observe the hints and tips, given in section ‘Tipps for Best Results’.
TIP: Do not overload the plastic bag. Leave approximately 8 cm of free space above the
food. Otherwise the appliance cannot generate a vacuum. Pre-freeze moist food before
vacuum packing. This way no liquids can get sucked into the appliance and the food will not
get squashed.
