•
Vacuum-seal or pre-freeze liquid foods, such as sauces or soups, in con-
tainers or jars.
•
If liquids have been accidentally sucked in, remove and empty the liquid
separator (Fig. 1, No. 5), and clean it (see 6.4).
Tip
For higher liquid content, such as marinating or sous-vide cook-
ing, simply place the food (preferably with marinade) in a regu-
lar household freezer bag or cling foil, fold it over once, and then
place it in the vacuum bag. The advantage of this method is that
the liquid remains completely contained in the household bag,
keeping the vacuum bag clean and reusable. The excellent vac-
uum created also vacuums the inner bag, but the liquid does not
enter the vacuum bag.
7.5 Vacuum sealing pressure-sensitive products
The vacuum must be generated very gently for pressure-sensitive products to
prevent the product from being crushed. For this reason, the vacuum packag-
ing machine is equipped with a pressure regulation feature as standard (see
chapter 6.5).
Tip
With residual air in the bag, the shelf life is not as good as when
vacuuming with full pressure. Therefore, for sensitive products
such as bread or berries, it is ideal to freeze them overnight and
then vacuum them with full pressure for maximum shelf life. When
thawing, cut a corner of the bag to prevent the product from being
crushed during thawing.
8. Cleaning and maintenance
This chapter contains important instructions for cleaning and maintaining the
device. The following instructions should be read carefully to avoid any damages.
8.1 Safety instructions
Attention
• Always unplug the power cord before performing any cleaning tasks on
the device.
• Perform cleaning tasks only when the welding bar is cooled down to
avoid the risk of burns.
• Do not immerse the device in water or clean it in the dishwasher.
• Make sure to unplug the device before cleaning and ensure that no mois-
ture enters the device during the cleaning process. Otherwise, electronic
components may be damaged.
• After cleaning, make sure to thoroughly dry the device before using it again.
8.2 Cleaning instructions
• Clean the device and accessories exclusively with a damp cloth and
using a mild cleaning agent.
• Remove the bag stop bar for cleaning.
• Keep the foam rubber seals and the glass fabric foil clean at all times.
• Before each use, check the welding bar for cleanliness. If it is dirty, clean
it only with a damp cloth. Do not use sharp or pointed objects for clean-
ing, as they can damage the welding bar.
• The cleaning of the liquid separator is described in section 6.4.
Tip
Regularly clean the foam rubber seal in the suction area. Especially
when in contact with liquids, it is necessary to remove the rectan-
gular foam rubber seals, clean them with some soapy water, and
ideally rinse them multiple times. Then, dry and reinsert them. Only
in this way can the vacuum sealer build up full vacuum and seal
automatically.
