5 Food handling Switching the appliance off ▸ Touch the button. – The appliance switches off. Sealing sooner The vacuuming process can be interrupted and the bag sealed sooner. ▸ Touch the sealing time button. Liquids already start to boil at low temperatures when under a vacuum. This pro- duces steam, which can cause the appliance to malfunction.
Overpressure can otherwise develop and cause the va- cuum bag to burst. If bags other than V-ZUG vacuum bags are used for sous-vide cooking, these could be- come soft, the sealing seam may not hold or may melt. Only use other bags for vacuum sealing and adjust the sealing time to the material of the bag.
Selecting the level for sealing time If using original V-ZUG vacuum bags, set the sealing time to level 2. If using non-original bags, the sealing time must be adjusted to the material of the bag. Using non-original bags may damage the sealing bar. The use of such bags is at the owner's own risk.
