To use the "Chef Touch", the KitchenAid red
coloured bags must be used.
Before starting the bag filling operation, it is best to
indicate in the spaces provided on the bag the date of
preparation and type of product in indelible ink.

USING KITCHENAID VACUUM BAGS
1. Open the drawer fully (until it clicks).
2. Switch the machine on using the blue switch on the front right hand
side.
3. Select the size of KitchenAid bag best suited to the dimensions of the
food (15x25 or 20x20).
4. Open the lid, making sure the vacuum chamber is dry. When placing
food in the bag, take care not to get the bag dirty or wet next to the
opening, as this could result in an ineffective seal.
5. Position the support grille in the machine compartment as shown, with
the bag in the centre of the grille, again as shown in the figure; if
necessary, angle the grille so that it slopes slightly, as this will prevent any
food spillage during the vacuum cycle. For large items of food, it may be
necessary to remove the grille in order to gain additional space inside the
vacuum chamber.
6. Line up the dotted line on the bag with the sealing bar. Make sure the
edges are positioned on the bar without any wrinkles or folds.
7. Close the lid and hold it down while at the same time selecting the
desired bag cycle. Keep the lid pressed down for a few moments. In this
way the lid will remain shut and tight to the seal for the duration of the
cycle.
A perfect seal is essential in order to maintain the vacuum conditions in
the bag. This can be identified by a clearly visible seal with no sign of any
burns.
Always check that the seal is on top of or parallel to the dotted line on
the KitchenAid bag.
Moreover, check the effectiveness of the seal: after sealing, it must not be
possible to pull the edges of the bag apart. If this is not the case, transfer
the food into another bag and repeat the vacuum packing procedure.
IMPORTANT For optimum management of bags and food contained in them, write the packing date and
contents on the space provided above the seal.
IMPORTANT If upon repeating the vacuum packing procedure the problem persists, contact
the after-sales service.
