Instructions
IMPORTANT!
Only use the designated bags or rolls for vacuum packing. Any other bags will
melt on the sealing strip, damaging the sealing strip and/or the sealing gaskets.
When using the designated roll, start the process by closing the bottom of the
bag. (When using one of the supplied designated bags, start at Step 2, opposite.)
Step 1: Creating a custom sized plastic bag
(closing the bottom of a bag)
1. Pull enough bag material off the roll – not too short – and cut it in a straight
line using a pair of scissors or a sharp knife.
NOTE:
You will need a sufficient length of plastic film to cover the food
plus
an extra
8cm:
approximately 6cm for sealing the bag above the food
and 2cm for sealing the bottom of the bag.
2. Get the appliance ready for use as described on page 9 and plug it into an
appropriate power point. Open the lid. (If it is locked, press the two release
buttons at the side to unlock.)
3. Ensure the gaskets are clean and that no foreign substances are stuck on the
sealing wire.
4. Place one open end of the cut bag on the sealing wire. The plastic film does
not need to extend over the black sealing gasket into the vacuum chamber,
because there is no need to operate the vacuum pump for sealing the bag.
NOTE:
To get an airtight seam, the length of plastic film must be completely
clean and dry and must lie smoothly on the sealing wire.
5. Close the lid and press it down firmly on both front corners. Check and ensure
that the lid is securely locked and the lock has engaged
at both sides
– you
will hear a clicking sound when the lid snaps shut.
