13 Disposal
▪ Working hygienically: Hands, utensils and surfaces must be clean!
▪ The opening of the bag must lie completely flat on the sealing bar, without any overlap
or wrinkles.
▪ Put only as much food into the bag as will allow it to be sealed closed at the top
without any overlap or wrinkles.
▪ Make sure there is no liquid around the sealing seam. Fold the top of the bag down
before filling it so as to keep the area where it is to be sealed clean. A funnel can be
used as a filling aid. Place the bag to be filled in a measuring jug, then turn back the
top of the bag a few centimetres.
▪ The last used settings for the «Vacuuming and sealing» application are saved, even
when the appliance is switched off.
▪ To seal jars with screw-top lids under vacuum, lightly close the screw-top lids and
place the jars in the vacuum drawer. These jars can be vacuumed and closed airtight
at the same time using the «Vacuuming only» application.
▪ For liquids, to achieve maximum vacuum the liquid must be frozen before vacuuming.
▪ Vacuum seal large quantities of liquid not in vacuum bags but in solid containers with
an appropriate volume. This makes for easier handling. External vacuuming is also
possible given the use of suitable containers and the accessories.
▪ Freeze fruit before vacuum sealing it.
▪ Foodstuffs that do not have to be stored in the refrigerator such as cereals, flour, cake
mixes, etc. can be preserved for longer by vacuum-packing them.
▪ Vacuuming is ideal for nuts, cereals, herbs and spices. Vacuum-packed, they remain
fresh longer and do not go rancid.

13.3 Disposal
▪ The «crossed‐out wheeled bin» symbol requires the separate collection of waste
electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Such equipment can contain hazardous,
environmentally harmful materials.

ling of electrical and electronic equipment and must not be disposed of with unsorted
household waste. And in this way, you will be helping to protect resources and the en-
vironment.
