Functions

Tips
The following table offers some useful information on the optimal preparation and processing of various foods.

* For example, this applies to all types of cabbage (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, etc.), asparagus, sugar snap peas, beans, romanesco, and Pak Choy.

Sealing a tubular film

NOTES ON THE FILM

The ﬁlm width may not exceed 30 cm. Otherwise it cannot be sealed correctly.
Use only nylon PA/PE ﬁlms with a structure (dots or grooves) on one side and a thickness of approx. 0.17–0.29 mm (170–290 μ) in this appliance. Otherwise, the seal will not be tight and the appliance may be damaged. You can recognize ﬁlms of this type from the information on the packaging. The quality of the seal 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.

Using scissors, cut the required length for your bag from the tubular ﬁlm. Cut as straight as possible or proceed as follows to use the ﬁlm cutter integrated in the lid of the storage compartment q:
- Push the ﬁlm A to the right or left of the edge.
- Open the lid of the storage compartment q and pull out as much tubular ﬁlm as you need. Please note that when the bag is ﬁlled, at least 6 cm must remain free from the sealing edge.
- Close the lid q again so that the tubular ﬁ lm is clamped in place.
- Press the ﬁ lm cutter A down lightly and pull it from one side to the other over the tubular ﬁ lm to cut it oﬀ.
Open appliance lid 1 by pressing the lid release 8 and ﬂipping the lid 1 upwards.
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 seal ring 3. The bag should be inserted no further than the rear limiters 6 and must lie between the front limiters 7. If the bag is lying over one or both limits 6/7, it cannot be sealed correctly:
Close the appliance lid 1. The press seal e presses the bag onto the sealing wires 4, to create a smooth seam. Ensure that both corners of the appliance lid 1 click into place. If necessary, press them down once again on the markings so that the appliance lid 1 click into place and locks shut.
Press the button t. The control lamps t/a light up. As soon as the sealing process is completed, the control lamps t/a switch off.
NOTE
- You can stop the vacuum sealing process at any time by pressing the button a. The control lamps t/a will then switch oﬀ . Press the t again to resume the sealing process.
- Remove the plug from the mains power socket immediately. Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Contact the Customer Service department.
Open appliance lid 1 by pressing the lid release 8 and ﬂipping lid 1 upwards. Remove the bag. It is now sealed at one end.
Fill the bag. You must leave at least 6 cm of the bag free up to the edge to be sealed.
CAUTION – PROPERTY DAMAGE
Fill the bag so that no food scraps or liquids can leak out during sealing and get into the appliance.
If you do not want to vacuum the air out of the bag, seal the other, open side now.
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 “Sealing” function.

Vacuum sealing

Vacuuming the tube ﬁlm

You can also suck the air out of the bag (vacuuming) during sealing:

NOTE
If you want to vacuum seal bags with liquid contents only, 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 drip tray 9 which is located within the lower sealing ring 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 seal ring 3. The bag should be inserted no further than the rear limiters 6 and must lie between the front limiters 7. Otherwise, the vacuuming and sealing will not function correctly:
Close the appliance lid 1. Ensure that both corners of the appliance lid 1 click into place. If necessary, press them down once again on the markings so that the appliance lid 1 clicks into place and locks shut.
NOTE
- Make sure that neither the upper w nor the lower sealing ring 3 is damaged. Otherwise, the appliance cannot suck the air out of the bag.
- If either one of the sealing rings 3/w is damaged, then simply pull it out of the groove and press the replacement sealing ring into the groove.
If necessary, select the appropriate additional function for your food. Otherwise, you can skip this step and move on to point 4):
- Press the button u if you want to vacuum particularly moist or juicy food, such as freshly marinated meat or cut fruit.
  Moisture between the film and the seam 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 u lights up.
- Press the button i 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 i lights up.
  NOTE
  If you want to vacuum seal moist and pressure-sensitive food, you can also activate both additional functions simultaneously.
Press the button z. The control lamps z/a light up and the appliance sucks the air out of the bag. As soon as all the air is sucked out, the control
lamp t also lights up. The appliance now seals the bag. As soon as theM sealing process is completed, the control lamps t/z/a switch off.
NOTE
You can stop the vacuuming process at any time by pressing the button a. The control lamps z/a will then switch off. Press the button z again to resume vacuuming. If the appliance has already switched to the sealing process and the control lamp t is lit, the process can also be stopped with the button a. The control lamps t/z/a will then switch off. Press the button t again to resume the sealing process.
Open appliance lid 1 by pressing the lid release 8 and flipping lid 1 upwards.Remove the vacuum-sealed bag.
NOTE
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 the
appliance cannot be started. After the cool-down phase, you can use the appliance as normal (even if a whole minute has not yet elapsed).
This does not apply, if the additional function “Wet” is activated. Due to the longer sealing process, a cooling phase of approx. 45 seconds ecessary after each pass.

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°C to 90°C). The advantage of this is that volatile flavors and aromas are not lost during cooking. The food does not dry out and the vitamins and flavors are preserved. Herbs or spices that are vacuum-sealed in the bag with the food give off a more intense flavor.

Vacuuming containers and resealable bags

NOTE

If you want to vacuum seal containers or bags with liquid contents only, 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 9 that is located within the lower sealing ring 3.
You can stop the vacuuming process at any time by pressing the button a. The control lamp o/a will switch off. Press the button o again to resume vacuuming.

You can vacuum seal containers and resealable bags using the vacuum hoses s and appropriate adapters d/f/g supplied with the appliance. With some bags or containers by various manufacturers, it is possible that no adapter d/f/g is required and you can push the black coupling piece on the vacuum hose s directly into the bag/container. Experiment to find out which adapter d/f/g creates the best seal or whether you even need an adapter d/f/g at all.

NOTE

You can order suitable bags and containers separately. Please refer to section “Ordering spare parts and accessories”.
The vacuum hoses s and adapters d/f/g are also compatible with bags and containers made by other manufacturers.

Adapters e.g. suitable for

Adapter A d: FoodSaver* lunch boxes, Ernesto, various bags with a valve
Adapter B f: FoodSaver food storage boxes, Ernesto, various bags with a valve
Adapter C g CASO**, FoodSaver storage containers
