Overview of the
Vacuum Pump
A. Vacuum pump.
This is the main part – it removes the air
out of the jar or vacuum bag.
B. Power adapter.
The power adapter plugs into a power socket and
provides the proper voltage to the vacuum pump.
C. Vacuum Bag connector
The vacuum bag connector connects to the vacuum
pump. It is required to vacuum a vacuum bag with
air valve.
D. Blender Jar connector
The Blender jar connector fits in the blender jar lid.
It is required to vacuum the blender jar.
yeast growth items should be cooled, only at
deep-freezing temperature, this growth will come
to a halt.
• Bacteria. Bacterial growth can often be
recognised by a nasty smell, discolouration and
a soft or slimy layer. Under specific
circumstances, clostridium botulinum, which
causes botulism, can grow without air. This
is rare, but also extremely dangerous. You can
neither smell nor taste it.
Vacuum-packaging is no replacement for cooling
or deep-freezing. Perishable foods that require
cooling or freezing, must still be kept in the
refrigerator or freezer.
Deep-freezing
In order to safely preserve foods, it must be kept at
low temperatures. The growth of micro-organisms
is strongly reduced at temperatures of 4°C and
below. At a temperature of -17°C, growth will
nearly come to a full stop. This does however not
kill the micro-organisms.
If you wish to store your vacuum packed food long-
term, then always place it in the freezer.
