■ When the air has been sucked out of the
bag, keep the sealing clamp pressed
down and place the other hand flat on it
as well. Then press the clamp down very
firmly with both hands together. Maintain
a heavy pressure until the green control
lamp ceases to glow. (11)
■ The contents and date can be noted on
the writing strip before the bag is put into
the deep freeze. (12)
The sealing function makes it possible to
seal several small portions in a single piece
of foil, each separated from the next by a
double seam, such as portions of herbs or a
piece of steak and a pat of seasoned butter.
Do this by setting the function selector to
sealing .
Open the sealing clamp and pull out the end
of the foil as far as the width required for a
single portion.
Turn down the sealing clamp and press it
down firmly with both hands until the green
control lamp ceases to glow.
Raise the sealing clamp and pull out
sufficient foil for the next portion, and then
seal that in.
■ When the required number of portions
has been reached and before the last
seam, turn the function selector to
cutting-sealing . (13)
■ Fill the individual compartments and, if
appropriate, close off with a sealing
operation before starting the next lot
of portions.
(14)
Finally, remove the remainder of the foil
using the cutting-sealing function .
Pull out the mains plug.
After use, wipe down the appliance with a
moist cloth only.
Original KRUPS replacement rolls of foil are
available in appropriate shops as Item No.
385 A (Freezer Foil) or Item No. 386 A
(Boiling-Freezer Foil).
Important rules for successful sealing:
■ The higher the sealing pressure, the
better the seam.
■ When sealing, make sure the hands cover
the greatest possible area of the sealing
clamp and press down as heavily as
possible.
■ Use only appropriate foil material such as
KRUPS Freezer Foil Item 385 A or Boiling-
Freezer Foil Item 386 A. Take note that
office materials, cling film and
greaseproof paper, etc. are NOT suitable.
■ This appliance is for intermittent
operation 30 + 15 / 100 sec. That means,
after 30 sec. to suck out and 15 sec. weld
must be a rest period of 100 sec. If the air
is sucked out only slowly, check whether
the foil is pressed up to the nozzle and
that the nozzle is correctly positioned
between the layers of foil. Bags with a
very small filling should first be shortened
with a pair of scissors before extracting
and sealing.
■ Maintain the heavy pressure on the
sealing clamp until the sealing control
lamp ceases to glow.
■ Keep the sealing wire clean. If necessary,
clean off any residue by doing a sealing
operation without using any foil.
■ Oversized bags should be sealed in two
steps: first an oblique seam on one side
the bag, then extract through the
remaining hole and seal off with a second
seam.
