NOTE:
These are indicative values which depend on the quality of the packaging and the original quality
of the food. They solely refer to the use of original accessories (bags and rolls). For the use of other
brands’ accessories we can neither make a statement regarding their general suitability nor regarding
the storage life of food vacuum-sealed with them. No liability will be assumed in this case.
ATTENTION: Store perishable foods in the freezer or fridge. Vacuum-sealing extends the life of
food, but does not turn it into a ‘preserve’, i. e. a product stable at room temperature.
ATTENTION: Food which has been heated while still sealed and then left at room temperature
are susceptible to pathogenic micro-organisms multiplying within just a few hours and being
health-threatening when consumed.

recommended.
