Preliminary instructions for use
The appliance can vacuum pack food in two different ways:
1. Vacuum packing using KitchenAid bags
Thanks to the high level of vacuum achievable, all the air inside the bag is removed. At the end of the
vacuum cycle, the bag is sealed, making it airtight.
The cycle lasts around 2 minutes and 50 seconds in total.
Only use KitchenAid brand bags for vacuum packing. Commercially available bags for food
storage are not suitable for heat sealing and cannot guarantee a vacuum for a sufficient period of time.
Notes on KitchenAid vacuum bags
KitchenAid vacuum bags for vacuum packed storage of foodstuffs feature an external layer in nylon, which
locks out oxygen and moisture, preserving the organoleptic properties of the food inside.
KitchenAid bags are suitable for packing non-delicate food products which are not easily crushed, such as
meat, cold cuts, hard cheese, pulses, etc.
Do not pack hot food inside the bags: hot food can evaporate during the vacuum cycle, leading to a
reduction in appliance performance.
The bags are available in two different sizes: 15x25 cm, 20x20 cm and 25x35 cm, and can be purchased
from Ka after-sales service or the website www.KitchenAid.eu.
Store the bags in a cool, dry place, away from sources of light and heat.
KitchenAid bags are disposable: after use, discard them, complying with local regulations on the disposal of
plastics.
KitchenAid bags are not suitable for cooking in traditional ovens or on conventional hobs, as they are not
designed to withstand high temperatures (above 100 °C - 212 °F).
2. Vacuum packing using KitchenAid containers
This cycle is specifically designed for use with KitchenAid vacuum containers.
The cycle lasts approximately 1 minute.
IMPORTANT In this case too, use purpose-designed KitchenAid containers only.
Notes on KitchenAid vacuum containers
KitchenAid vacuum containers are useful for storing delicate foods which easily crushed, and for storing
liquid foodstuffs.
To prevent the containers from being damaged or excessively deformed by the vacuum achieved with this
cycle, the appliance automatically stops air extraction at the ideal vacuum level in order to guarantee
optimum food storage.
