Steps for vacuum packaging of Concept VD8100, VD8200 canisters and VD8300 bottle stoppers
1. Remove the end piece for vacuum packaging of zipper bags from the unit.
2. Fill the canister up to 2.5 cm below the edge. Make sure that the edges of the canisters are free of any
food residues. If so, wipe them away.
3. Put the end piece for vacuum packaging of canisters onto the valve on the lid of the canister and press
„START“ (Fig. 3)
4. The vacuuming process should take at least 1 minute depending on the size of the canister and its con-
tent. The characteristic sound will tell you when the process is fi nished (for VD8200 canisters check the
red button on the lid, which is sucked inside during the vacuuming process). (Fig. 4)
5. Fill the canisters again with air:
D8100 canister set – turn the button on the cover to the „OPEN“ position
VD8200 canister set – press the blue button and hold until the lid cannot be reopened (Fig. 5)
VD8300 wine stopper set – pull the stopper out the neck of the bottle
Note:
When using a stopper from the set of Fresh Concept VD8300 wine stoppers follow the same steps as during
canister vacuum packaging. (Fig. 6).

BEST PERFORMANCE TIPS
1. Do not overfi ll the bags or the canisters. Always leave enough space, see the instructions above.
2. Use only original bags and canisters of the Fresh Concept series.
3. Do not store liquids in zipper bags! Store them in canisters, after they have cooled down.
4. Always make sure the zipper bag is free from any impurities that could cause leakage.
5. Do not start the vacuum sealer when empty.
6. Do not vacuum items with sharp edges that could tear the bag. Use suitable canisters for items with
sharp edges.
7. Allow about 1 minute for the unit to cool down before reuse.
8. Prevent liquids from entering the vacuum chamber or the opening as it would cause subsequent dam-
age to the unit. If you want to package moist food, froze the food fi rst and wipe the bag with a paper
towel.
9. Liquids can only be vacuum packed in canisters that are available for purchase as additional accessories.
Wait until the liquids are cold!
10. Any vacuum packed perishable food is to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Vacuum packaging only
makes the food stay fresh longer, but it does not protect the food from spoiling.
11. The vacuum packing system can be used not only to store food but also to protect valuables (e.g. docu-
ments, electronics, medication, etc.)
12. Before each use, make sure that the vacuum chamber and opening are clean and free from any
impurities.
