• Vacuum packing of fruits and vegetables such as e.g. apples, bananas,
potatoes and root vegetables will not prolong the shelf life if they have not
been shred.
Vacuum packing
Vacuum packing in a vacuum bag
1. Position the appliance on an even surface and plug to a wall outlet; the
signal lamp goes on.
2. Put the ingredients to be vacuum packed in a vacuum bag, but leave at
least 7 cm between the contents and the bag opening. Only use original
accessories from OBH Nordica.
3. Make sure that the opening of the vacuum bag is clean, dry and without
any wrinkles.
4. Position the opening of the vacuum bag on top of the sealing element (5)
and in the vacuum channel (4). Check that the tube coupling (3) is not
covered by the vacuum bag.
5. Close the lid and press hard until you hear a click sound from the two
release buttons (10).
6. Press the SEAL button (9); the signal lamp goes on. The
vacuum packing now starts automatically.
Note: The appliance reaches a very high vacuum pressure during the
vacuum sealing process. In order to avoid that sensible ingredients
are influenced by the high pressure, keep an eye on the vacuum bag
and press the SEAL button, if you want to interrupt the process before
time. In such case, the appliance turns off the pumping and switches to
sealing of the vacuum bag.
7. When the vacuum packing is ready, the appliance automatically switches
over to sealing of the bag opening (the signal lamp of the SEAL button
goes on).
8. When the signal lamps of the SEAL and the SEAL buttons go
off, the process is ready. Press the release buttons (10) on both sides of
the appliance, open the lid and remove the sealed vacuum bag.
9. Let the appliance rest for 1 minute between each process in order to avoid
overheating and the bag being sealed before time.
10. Wipe off any possible liquid or particles in the vacuum channel (4) after
each vacuum sealing process.
11. Make sure that no liquid is aspirated into the appliance.
Consequential damages will not be covered by the warranty.
After use, unplug from the wall outlet. Do not press the lid to lock in order to
prevent the gaskets from being deformed, which may affect the functioning of
the appliance.
Defrosting and heating of vacuum packed products in a vacuum bag
The vacuum bags from OBH Nordica can be used in a microwave oven and
can even simmer in water.
