Sealing a bag without vacuuming
You can seal a bag without vacuuming it. Place the bag in the vacuum chamber as usual, then press Seal.
If this does not provide a satisfactory result, then hang the bag outwards. To do this, place the bag from the
outside over the sealing bar.
Then close the lid and press Seal.
4 Adjust the vacuum and sealing setting as desired.
5 Close the lid and press Auto/Cancel.
6 Press the lid down for 2 seconds after starting of vacuum process. The device automatically vacuums and
seals the bag.
7 The device beeps when the operation is completed.
8 Open the lid of the device and take out the bag.
Remove excessive liquid or food residues from vacuum chamber after each vacuum process.
Vacuuming outside the vacuum chamber can only be done with structured bags.
The device creates a very high vacuum. If necessary, you must interrupt the automatic vacuum
operation for sensitive foods and soups early. Then interrupt the operation with Seal, the bag will
be sealed automatically.
• We suggest to vacuum seal one bag within 1 minute to let the appliance cool down enough. But it
is also possible to seal several bags consecutively.
• Cut the bag at least 8 cm longer than needed. The sealed ends will take up the extra space.
• Do not overstuff the bag; leave enough empty length in the open end of the bag (at least a few
inches) so that the bag can be properly placed on the sealing bar.
• Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may not seal properly.
• lean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing. Foreign matter or creases on the bag
may result in a faulty seal.
• If the food you’re sealing has sharp edges (such as bones or shells) pack the edges with kitchen
paper to avoid tearing the bag.
• Blanch vegetables by cooking them briey in boiling water. Allow them to cool then vacuum seal
them in convenient portions.
• When vacuum sealing unfrozen food, allow at least two additional inches of bag length for
expansion while freezing. Place unfrozen meat or sh on a paper towel and vacuum seal with the
paper towel in the bag to absorb any extra moisture.
• Before storing foods such as tortillas, crepes or bread, use wax or parchment paper between them
to stack the pieces. This will make it easier to remove an individual piece, reseal the rest and
immediately replace them in the freezer.
Vacuuming a bag outside the vacuum chamber
You can also vacuum a bag outside the vacuum chamber. To do this, place the bag from the outside over the
sealing bar. Then close the lid and proceed as described under "Vacuum packaging with a bag in the vacuum
chamber. However, this works only with structured bags. For best results, use double-sided bags.
