5. Push in the release buttons on both sides of the
appliance to open the cover of the appliance. Remove
the now finished vacuum bag. The vacuum bag is now
ready to use for vacuum packing. Let the appliance rest
for 1 minute between each vacuum process to avoid
overheating and prevent the bag from being sealed too
soon.
Important tips when vacuum packing
•
Do not put in too much ingredients in the vacuum bag/vacuum canister.
Leave at least 7 cm between the content in the vacuum bag and the bag
opening.
•
Make sure that the vacuum bag is dry in the bag opening as the bag will not
be properly sealed otherwise.
•
Extend the bag opening before it is placed against the sealing unit to
remove any folds and unevenness.
•
Do not place sharp objects such as fish bones and hard shells in the
vacuum bag as they can penetrate the bag. Use vacuum canisters for this
purpose.
•
During the vacuum packing process, liquid and other particles can
unintentionally end up in the vacuum pump, which can clog the pump and
damage the appliance. To prevent this, we recommend that liquid contents
be frozen in freezer-resistant containers before it is vacuum packed in
a vacuum bag or vacuum canister. Note that if liquid is vacuum packed
directly in a vacuum canister without being pre-frozen, the canister can
be damaged and crack when it is in the freezer. Also refer to the section
“Preparation guide for various kinds of produce”.
•
If you are going to vacuum pack meat or other moist contents, some paper
towels can be placed between the contents and the bag opening. When
vacuum packing flour, grain and other powder contents, a coffee filter
can be placed between the contents and the bag opening. Make sure the
paper/filter is not placed in the seal.
•
Note that vacuum packed perishables must be stored in the refrigerator
or freezer. Remember that vacuum packing is not the same thing as
preserving, but rather only extends the shelf life.
•
Keep in mind that food that has a high fat content can spoil if it is stored
too warm.
•
Vacuum packing of fruit and vegetables, such as apples, bananas, potatoes
and root vegetables does not extend their shelf life if they are not peeled
first.
