Operating the appliance
en
To ensure that you can keep track of your bags and the
food that is vacuumed within them, we recommend that
you make a note on the bag of the date of the
vacuuming along with the contents.
Proceed as follows:
Open the glass lid.
1.
Place the vacuum-sealing bag in the compartment.
2.
Notes
– Make sure that the food is at the lowest possible
initial temperature – within the range of 1 – 8 °C
is best.
– Make sure that the air outlet is not covered so
that the pump can extract the air from the
compartment.
– Make sure that the centre of the bag and the
ends of the bag are lying flat on top of the heat-
sealing column. This will ensure that the heat-
sealing seam is perfectly closed.
– Make sure that the open end of the bag is
protruding over the heat-sealing column by
approx. 3 cm but that it is not touching the lid
seal.
Elevate the bag if necessary using an item
Note:
such as a chopping board to prevent the bag from
sliding down.

Touch the » symbol to select a heat-sealing time.

process.
The vacuum-sealing process will now start. The
vacuum-sealing level indicators will flash blue one after
the other until the value you selected has been reached.
The heat-sealing process will now start. The heat-
sealing level indicators will flash blue one after the other
until the value you selected has been reached.
At the end of the process, the chamber is ventilated and
an acoustic signal sounds. You can now open the glass
lid and remove the heat-sealed vacuum-sealing bag
from the chamber.
:
Warning – Risk of burns!
The sealing bar in the vacuuming chamber becomes
extremely hot if the appliance is used frequently and
there are long heat-sealing times. Never touch the hot
sealing bar. Keep children away from the appliance.
Notes
At the highest vacuuming level, the process may last
■
up to 2 minutes. After this time, the bag is heat-
sealed and the vacuuming level that is reached
lights up.
After vacuuming, check the heat-sealing seam on
■
the bag. Carefully try to pull the seam apart. If it
comes apart, select a higher heat-sealing level the
next time. If the seam is deformed, it has become
too hot. Select a lower heat-sealing level the next
time or leave the appliance to cool.
If you vacuum food in bags several times in
■
succession, the heat-sealing column becomes
increasingly hotter. This may impair the quality of the
heat-sealing seam. After several vacuuming
processes, you should therefore select a lower heat-
sealing time or leave the appliance to cool for
approx. 2 minutes between the processes.
Heat-sealing in good time
Use this function if you only want to pack your delicate
food in a bag so that it is air-tight, without the contents
sitting too tightly against the bag.
When air is being extracted from the bag, touch the
» symbol to end the process and heat-seal the bag
early.
The appliance displays the vacuuming level until it is
reached.
At the end of the process, the chamber is ventilated and
an acoustic signal sounds. You can now open the glass
lid and remove the heat-sealed vacuuming bag from the
chamber.
To heat-seal the bag, the vacuum-sealing drawer
Note:
requires a specific degree of vacuum. If you touch the
» symbol first, the vacuum-sealing drawer pumps air
out of the chamber until this degree has been reached.
The bag is then heat-sealed.
