TIPS AND TRICKS
pull out the USB plug from the wall outlet until the
device has cooled down completely.
• Do not submerge the device in water or other
liquids.
• Never use a scouring agent or solvent.
• Clean the outside of the device with a soft, moist
towel. If necessary, use a little neutral cleaning
agent. Dry the device thoroughly with a clean, dry
towel.
• Do not try to repair the device yourself. If it does
not work properly, replace it with a new one.
• The silicone attachment on the bottom of the de-
vice can be removed and cleaned in the dishwasher.
• The vacuum bags may be re-used up to 10 times,
depending on prior use. Clean the bag with a moist
towel and mild cleaning agent; the adhesive valves
lose their functionality in the dishwasher. We
recommend using bags only once when using as a
sous vide bag.
• The mini vacuum sealer Vinnie vacuum-packs your
food for space-saving storage. You can also freeze
the bags or use them for sous vide preparation in a
warm water bath.
• You can marinate meat better in a vacuum. Simply
add herbs, spices, or lemon peel and oil, soy sauce,
or other liquids to the bag together with your meat.
Dry marinades (rubs) are also ideal for this method.
• The vacuum protects your food against air and
makes it last longer.
