must be free of creases.
Close the cover by pressing the two
ends of the appliance downwards
until the packing machine is firmly
closed.
The packing machine will automa-
tically initiate the vacuum function
and the red LED will light up in the
control panel.
The sealing function will then com-
mence and the orange LED will light
up in the control panel.
Finally, when the sealing band cools,
the green LED will light up, indica-
ting that the packing has finished and
that the cover of the vacuum packing
machine may be opened by pressing
the two side buttons.
To vacuum pack, follow the instruc-
tions above.
Once you hace finished using the
appliance:
- Unplug the appliance to the mains.
- Put the cable back in the cable
housing.
How to open the vacuum packed bags:
Cut the edges of the bag with scis-
sors, just at the height of the seal.
Tips for making a better vacuum:
Do not fill the bag to the limit; always
leave a space of at least 5 cm.
To obtain a good seal, the top of
the bag must be clean and free of
creases.
Do not wet the open end of the bag.
Do not leave too much air in the
bag. Press on the bag so that the
excess air can escape before vacuum
packing.
Do not vacuum pack sharply pointed
objects as they can puncture and tear
the bag.
We recommend vacuum packing
and sealing only one bag per minute
to allow the appliance to recover
sufficiently.
If for any reason the necessary
vacuum is not obtained, the vacuum
system will automatically disconnect
after 45 seconds. In this case, check
whether the bag has a leak or is not
properly positioned.
Instructions on the vacuum bag
Vacuum packing for the refrigerator
Preparing food for the freezer:
The vacuum packing machine will
help you to keep food fresh in opti-
mum condition of preservation.
To vacuum pack very fragile foods
(fruit, vegetables, boiled food, etc.).
We recommend pre-freezing in order
to maintain its original form.
To vacuum pack non-frozen food, a
distance of approx. 5 cm must be left
in the length of the bag to allow it to
expand during freezing.
It is advisable to wrap meat or fish
in kitchen paper for vacuum packing
it. This way, the kitchen paper will
absorb the humidity in the food.
To pack foods like tortillas, crepes or
hamburgers, spread the oven paper
or aluminium foil* between them in
order to place the pieces together.
This will make it easier to separate
them later.
