FUNCTIONS Vacuuming and sealing function This is the standard function of the Vacuum Seal Drawer. Underpressure is generated inside the vacuum tank which seals the opening of the bag inside the drawer. If you vacuum-seal food in bags several times in succession, the heat-sealing bar becomes increasingly hotter. - Page 14 FUNCTIONS Vacuuming function Suitable for vacuuming and airtight-sealing jars with screw-top lids. Jars must not be more than 3 3/8" (85mm) in height to avoid damaging the glass lid when closing the drawer. Loosely close the screw-top lid of the jar before placing inside the Vacuum Seal Drawer.

If you seal food in bags several times in succession, the heat-sealing bar becomes increasingly hotter. After several sealing processes, you should select a lower heat-sealing time or allow the appliance to cool for approximately two minutes between the processes. Touch the vacuum level button repeatedly until all vacuum level indicators dim.

FOOD CARE Quality and hygiene The initial bacterial content of food determines how long a product can be preserved. The higher the bacterial content, the shorter the maximum storage time. In order to preserve food for as long as possible, only vacuum seal food that is in perfect condition. Products that have been kept for some time before vacuum sealing have a higher bacterial content and are therefore not suitable for long-term storage. -
