• Only use bags recom-
mended by the stock-
ist. Do not use kitchen
film or similar, as it may
damage the appliance.
• Remove the bag as
soon as it has been
heat-sealed/sealed. If it
is left in the appliance
while the hot wire cools,
it may stick to the appli-
ance.
• Always keep the hot
wire clean to avoid
contaminating the food
or substances to be
packed.
• Always keep the hot
wire clean of food resi-
dues and dirt so that
the sealing power is not
reduced.
• Do not use the vacuum
or sealing function
when the lid is open.
Make sure that the lid
is locked (using the
release button) before
using the vacuum or
sealing function.
ADVANTAGES OF VACUUM
SEALING
Vacuum-packed food keeps better and
longer in the fridge or freezer compared
to food in packaging with air in it.
Some types of food can also be cooked/
reheated by putting the sealed bag into
a dish of water or in a microwave oven.
When cooking food in a microwave oven,
prick holes in the bag with a fork so that
steam can escape.
It is also possible to seal/vacuum-seal
items such as personal papers, medi-
cines, etc. for travelling, camping or sail-
ing so they do not get wet.
