Ensure that the vacuum container and container lid are undamaged, airtight and
completely clean and dry.
Fill your food into the vacuum container, leaving at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space
between the food and the rim of the container. Ensure keeping the rim of the contai-
ner and container lid clean and dry. Close the container with the container lid. Ensu-
re that the manually adjustable pressure valve on the container lid is in the “Open”
position. Otherwise, the appliance cannot vacuum the container.
Place the appliance onto a suitable surface. Connect the appropriate power cord to
the corresponding power socket at the rear of the appliance (see: ‘Using an External
Power Supply’). Insert the power plug into the power outlet. The LCD display illumi-
nates. Press the SCALE button to switch off the scale.
Open the lid of the appliance. Push one end of the vacuum hose onto the vacuum
outlet of the appliance. Connect the other end to the vacuum port of the container
lid. Press the vacuum hose down firmly to ensure a tight fit.
Hold the VAC/MARINATE button pressed for some seconds to enter the MARINATE
function. The appliance will operate the vacuum pump until the pre-programmed low
pressure is reached. During marinating, the indicator on the lid will be illuminated
constantly. After 20 minutes of marinating, the appliance will complete the marina-
ting cycle automatically.
Note:
You can terminate the process at any time by simply pressing the STOP button on
the container lid.
WARNING:
During marinating, the interior of the container is under low pressu-
re (vacuum). Even little damages of the container or improper treatment may cause
implosion of vacuumed containers. Always handle any vacuumed containers with
special care to avoid injuries and damage due to splinters and splashes being hurled
all about. Do not expose vacuumed containers to heat, mechanical or thermal
shocks, or direct sunlight.
Always press the STOP button, before removing the vacuum hose from the container
or appliance, to ensure that the MARINATE function is terminated.
Press the STOP button to ensure that the appliance will be idle. Then carefully remo-
ve the vacuum hose from the container. Thereafter remove the vacuum hose from the
appliance.
Do not leave the appliance connected to the power supply when not in use. If you
do not wish to use the appliance again, close the lid and unplug the appliance from
the power outlet.
