Getting to know the appliance
In the vacuuming drawer, you can vacuum food in
suitable bags and containers. This chapter provides you
with information about the assembly and the basic
functions of your appliance.
How does a vacuuming drawer work?
During the vacuuming process, air is pumped out of the
vacuuming chamber and the bag. This produces a high
vacuum in the chamber. The higher the vacuuming level,
the less air remains in the chamber and the bag, and the
higher the pressure difference to the environment.
If the selected vacuuming level has been reached, the
sealing bar is pressed against the silicone column on
the glass lid. During this, the bag is heat-sealed. After a
short cooling time, air flows back into the chamber,
creating a loud noise. During this process, the bag
suddenly contracts and encloses the food. The drawer's
glass lid then opens.
Different degrees of vacuum can be created with
vacuuming levels 1
to 3. The degrees that are reached
here vary depending on the use case: When vacuuming
in the container, the degrees of vacuum are lower and
therefore better suited for the particular food. When the
external vacuuming adaptor is attached, the vacuuming
drawer automatically detects which mode has just been
activated.
