Vacuum packing by using the bag cut
from the roll
1. Position the appliance in a dry place on
a level surface, making sure that the work
area in front of the appliance itself is clear
of obstacles and there is enough room to
accommodate the bags with the food to be
packed.
2. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt
power outlet.
3. Unroll and cut a bag of suitable length for
packaging the food to be preserved. Check
that the bag you are going to use is at least
8 cm longer than the food to be packaged,
taking into account an additional 2 cm for
each time the bag will be subsequently
resealed.
4. Lift the lid open until it is standing
upright.
5. Position either of the two open ends of
the bag on the sealing bar, ensuring that the
ribbed side of the bag is facing up and the
flat side is facing down. See Figure 2.
NOTE: Be careful not to let the bag hang over
into the vacuum chamber or on the airtight
gasket as this will prevent a seal being made.
6. Close the lid.
7. Press and hold down firmly the ‘ON’
button to carry out sealing. Wait until the
seal light turns on and off.
8. Lift the lid and remove the bag.
NOTE: Check the quality of the seal obtained.
It should appear as a regular, wrinkle-free,
horizontal strip with the internal ridges of the
bag flattened.
9. Place food in the bag without creasing it
excessively or stretching the surfaces.
NOTE: Eliminate any liquids or food residues
from the area inside the bag that will be
sealed. This will ensure a perfect seal every
time.
10. Place the bag and its contents in front of
the appliance and place the open end of the
bag over the vacuum chamber. See Figure 1.
11. Close the lid.
12. Press and hold down firmly the ‘ON’
button to complete the vacuum packing
cycle. The vacuum indicator will turn from
yellow to green when this is completed. Wait
until the seal light turns on and off. The
appliance will not only vacuum out all the air
but automatically seal the bag as well.
NOTE: Releasing the ‘ON’ button during this
vacuum packing cycle will turn the appliance
off.
13. Lift the lid and remove the bag.
NOTE: Check the quality of the seal obtained.
It should appear as a regular, wrinkle-free,
horizontal strip with the internal ridges of the
bag flattened.
