4.1 Function
During the vacuum-sealing process, air is pumped out
of the vacuum-sealing compartment and the bag.
This produces a high vacuum in the compartment. The
higher the vacuum-sealing level, the less air remains in
the compartment and the bag, and the higher the pres-
sure difference to the environment.
Once the selected vacuum-sealing level has been
reached, the heat-sealing bar is pressed against the sil-
icone bar on the glass lid. During this, the bag is heat-
sealed.
After a short cooling time, air flows back into the com-
partment, creating a loud noise. During this process,
the bag suddenly contracts and encloses the food. The
drawer's glass lid then opens.

4.4 Vacuum-sealing levels
The vacuum-sealing levels 1 to 3 achieve different va-
cuum degrees.
When vacuum-sealing 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 vacuum-sealing drawer automatically
detects which mode has just been activated.
Vacuum-sealing levels 1 2 3
Vacuum-sealing in the bag 80% 95% 99%
