Using your Food Preserver
Vacuum packing using Food Preserver
pre-cut bags
1. Position the appliance in a dry place on
a level surface, making sure that the work
area in front of the appliance itself is clear
of obstacles and there is enough room to
accommodate the bags with the food to be
packed.
2. Plug the power cord into a 230-240 volt
power outlet.
3. Check that the bag you are going to
use is at least 8 cm longer than the food
to be packaged, taking into account an
additional 2 cm for each time the bag will be
subsequently resealed.
4. Lift the lid open until it is standing
upright.
5. Place the food in the bag without creasing
it excessively or stretching the surfaces.
NOTE:
Eliminate any liquids or food residues
from the area inside the bag that will be
sealed. This will ensure a perfect seal every
time.
6. Place the bag and its contents in front of
the appliance and place the open end of the
bag over the vacuum chamber. See Figure 1.
7. Close the lid.
8. Press and hold down firmly the ‘ON’
button to complete the vacuum packing
cycle. The vacuum indicator will turn from
yellow to green when this is completed. Wait
until the seal light turns on and off. The
appliance will not only vacuum out all the air
but automatically seal the bag as well.
NOTE:
Releasing the ‘ON’ button during this
vacuum packing cycle will turn the appliance
off.
9. Lift the lid and remove the bag.
NOTE:
Check the quality of the seal obtained.
It should appear as a regular, wrinkle-free,
horizontal strip with the internal ridges of the
bag flattened.
