Before First Use; Intended Use; General Hints When Using Polybags - Westfalia 85 47 43 Instruction Manual

Before first Use

Take the unit out of the packaging. Keep packaging materials out of
reach of children. There is risk of suffocation! Clean the housing of the
unit as described in the chapter "Cleaning".

Intended Use

The polybag vacuum sealer is intended for sealing polybags in order to
keep food fresh for a longer period of time as well as for storing a
variety of objects.
You can prepare large quantities, cook in advance and store the food
for longer time. When storing food in the sturdy PE-HD bags you will
eliminate freezer burn. Vacuum-packed food will not become rancid,
does not dry out and ferment and mould will be minimized.
Use the unit to reseal open packages. By doing this, you can keep food
fresh longer and preserve from bacteria, mould etc.

General Hints when using Polybags

 Only use plastic bags that are suitable for this polybag vacuum
sealer. You can also use standard polybags with a max. width of up
to 30 cm. Suitable bags made of polyethylene high density are
marked with the inscription „PE-HD".
 Fill the polybags only up to ¾ of their content. Make sure the top part
of the bag is free from food or liquid. Otherwise the sealing seam
cannot be made properly. The bags have to be waveless and wrin-
kle-free in order to ensure an airtight sealing.
 When cutting the bag roll, make sure the bag is cut straight so the
unit will be able to seal the bag properly.
 Clean the polybags in warm soapy water and allow the bags to dry
fully before using again. If you have already used polybags to store
meat, fish or greasy food, do not reuse these bags for storing food.
