Welding a tube film

NOTES ON THE FILM

  • The film width may not exceed 30 cm. Otherwise it cannot be welded correctly.
  • Use only nylon PA/PE films with a structure (dots or grooves) on one side and a thickness of approx. 0.17­0.29 mm (170­290 ) in this device. Otherwise, the weld seam will not be tight and the appliance may be damaged. You can recognise films of this type from the information on the packaging. The quality of the weld seam will vary depending on the type and thickness of the film.
  • The supplied film is suitable for temperatures between -20°C and +110°C.
  • The supplied foil is BPA-free and microwaveable. However, never heat completely sealed bags in the microwave. The bag could burst! One side of the bag must be open. Heat the bags for no more than 3 minutes at a maximum temperature of 70°C.
    1) Cut the desired length for your bag from the tube film using a pair of scissors. Cut as straight as possible.
    2) Open the appliance lid 1 by pressing the lid release 8 and opening the lid 1 upwards.
    3) Lay the open end of the bag as far into the appliance so that the opening of the bag is located centrally under the lower sealing ring 5. The bag should be inserted no further than the rear limiters 6 and must lie between the front limiters 7. If the bag lies over one or both of the two limiters 6/7, then the bag cannot be correctly welded.
    NOTE
    • The bag opening must lie flat on the welding wire 4. Otherwise the welding does not work properly.
    4) Close the appliance lid 1. The press seal 11 presses the bag onto the welding wire 4, to create a smooth seam. Ensure that both corners of the appliance lid 1 click closed. If necessary, press them down once again on the markings and so that the appliance lid 1 clicks into place and locks shut.
    5) Press the button 12. The control lamp 12 lights up. As soon as the sealing process is completed, the control lamp 12 flashes briefly and then goes out.
    NOTE
    You can halt the sealing process at any time by pressing the button 12 again. The control lamp 12 flashes and then goes out.
    CAUTION ­ PROPERTY DAMAGE!
    If the control lamp 12 does not turn off after a maximum of 10 seconds during the sealing process, the appliance is defective!
    • Remove the plug from the mains power socket immediately. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Contact the Customer Service department.
    6) Open the appliance lid 1 by pressing the lid release 8 and flipping the lid 1 upwards. Remove the bag. This is now sealed at one end.
    NOTE
    Ensure that the weld seam is properly closed. A correct weld seam should be a smooth, straight stripe without any creases.
    7) Fill the bag. You must leave at least 6 cm of the bag free up to the edge to be welded.
    CAUTION ­ PROPERTY DAMAGE!
    Fill the bag so that no food scraps or liquids can leak out during welding and get into the appliance.
    8) If you do not want to vacuum the bag, you can now weld the other, open side.
    NOTE
    Wait a few seconds to allow the appliance to cool down before sealing the next bag. During this cool-down phase, you cannot start the “seal” function.

Vacuum sealing 

Vacuuming the tube film

You can also suck the air out of the bag (vacuum) during welding:

NOTE

  • If you want to vacuum seal bags with liquid contents only, it is best to freeze the liquid briefly so that it does not get sucked into the appliance during vacuuming. If small quantities of liquid or food nonetheless get sucked up, they will be deposited in the small drip tray that is located within the lower sealing ring 5.
    1) Lay the open end of the bag as far into the appliance so that the opening of the bag is located centrally under the lower sealing ring 5. The bag should be inserted no further than the rear limiters 6 and must lie between the front limiters 7. Otherwise the vacuuming and welding will not function correctly:
    2) Close the appliance lid 1. Ensure that both corners of the appliance lid 1 click closed. If necessary, press them down once again on the markings and so that the appliance lid 1 clicks into place and locks shut.
    NOTE
    • Ensure that the upper 10 and the lower sealing rings 5 are not damaged! Otherwise the device cannot suck the air out of the bag.
    • If either one of the sealing rings 0/5 is damaged, simply pull it out of the groove and press the replacement sealing ring into the groove.
    3) If necessary, select the appropriate additional function for your food. Otherwise, you can skip this step and continue with point 4):
    Press the  button 14 if you want to vacuum a particularly moist or juicy food, such as freshly marinated meat or cut fruit. If there is moisture between the film and the seam, this can lead to defective seals. When this function is activated, the sealing time is increased so that the seal is more stable.
    If the additional function  “wet” is activated, the corresponding control lamp 14 lights up.
    Press the button 15 if you want to vacuum seal pressure-sensitive foods such as cakes or berries. When the additional function “soft” is activated, the suction pressure is slightly reduced and the food is not squeezed as much.
    If the additional function “soft” is activated, the corresponding control lamp 15 lights up.
    NOTE
    If you want to vacuum a moist and pressure-sensitive food, you can also activate both additional functions simultaneously.
    4) Press the 1313125) Once both control lamps 1312 have gone out, you can open the lid by pressing the lid releases 8 and flipping the lid 1 upwards. Remove the vacuum-sealed bag.
    NOTE
    • You can stop the vacuuming process at any time by pressing the button 13 again. The corresponding control lamp 13 goes out. Press the button e again to resume the vacuuming process. If the appliance has already switched to the sealing process and the control lamp w is also lit, the process can be stopped with the button 12. The control lamps 13 /12 flash and then go out. The appliance then stops the sealing process.
    • Once you have sealed 5 bags in a row, allow the appliance to cool down for about 1 minute. During this cool-down phase, it is possible that you cannot start the appliance. After the cool-down phase, you can use the appliance as normal (even if a whole minute has not yet elapsed).
  • TIP ­ SOUS-VIDE COOKING
    As the supplied film is suitable for temperatures between -20°C and +110°C, it can be used for sous-vide cooking (vacuum cooking). “Sous-vide” is French and means “under vacuum”. In vacuum cooking, the food (usually fish or meat, but vegetables can also be used) is vacuum-sealed in a bag and then cooked in water or steam cooked at a relatively low temperature (50° to 90°C). The advantage of this is that volatile flavours and aromas are not lost during cooking. The food does not dry out and the vitamins and flavours are preserved. Herbs or spices that are vacuum-sealed in the bag with the food give off a more intense flavour.

Vacuuming containers and resealable bags

NOTE

  • Do not vacuum bags or containers that contain only liquids. These could be sucked up during the vacuum sealing process. If small quantities of liquid or food do get sucked up, they will be deposited in the small drip tray that is located between the lower sealing ring 5.
    You can vacuum seal containers and resealable bags using the vacuum hoses 17 and appropriate adapters 18/19/20 supplied with the appliance.

NOTE

  • You can order suitable bags and containers separately. Please refer to section “Ordering spare parts and accessories”.
  • The vacuum hoses 17 and adapters 18/19/20  are also compatible with bags and containers made by other manufacturers.
Adapters e.g. suitable for
Adapter 18 FoodSaver lunch boxes, Ernesto, various
bags with a valve
Adapter 19 FoodSaver food storage boxes, Ernesto,
various bags with a valve
Adapter 20 CASO, FoodSaver storage boxes
