6 Overview of applications
6.4
External vacuuming*
Using this application, air can be evacuated out of glass bottles of oil and
wine, for instance, to prevent the contents reacting with the oxygen. This func-
tion can also be used to vacuum commercially available vacuum containers.
Make sure that the vacuum containers are safe for use with food and can be
connected to the vacuum drawer tube, which has a 3 mm internal diameter,
using a suitable adapter.
For external vacuuming of glass bottles, only use bottles that are
suitable for vacuuming. Unsuitable or damaged bottles could im-
plode during external vacuuming and cause injury.
The vacuum drawer must be ready for operation and the lid open.
▸ To evacuate a bottle, push either end of the tube onto the right connector
for each adapter.
▸ Put the larger adapter on the suction inlet in the vacuum tank. To evacuate
a bottle, put the smaller adapter with the other end of the tube on the va-
cuum stopper, which is pressed into the bottle mouth. To evacuate a va-
cuum container, connect the end of the tube to the vacuum container –
rather than to the bottle – using an adapter if necessary.
Place the bottle for external evacuating on a flat and stable surface
near the vacuum drawer.
▸ Press the
button once or more to select a suitable vacuuming level.
See "Recommended vacuuming levels (see page 13)”.
