GENERAL INFORMATION AND TIPS ON VACUUM PACKING

Vacuum packing can be used to keep vegetables, meat, etc. longer. Vacuum
packed food does not take on odours and it is well protected against bacteria,
mould, etc.
Vacuum packing can also be used to preserve tea or dried foods purchased on
sale, for example. However, please note that vacuum packing is not a substitute
for refrigeration or freezing.
Please use only bags and films that are suitable for vacuum packing, or use the
separately available container. Other bags can melt as a result of high tempera-
tures and damage the appliance! Other containers could be destroyed by the
high pressure, resulting in injury.
The vacuum bags and films are made of a special patented plastic. This material
is ideal for preserving foods.
The bags included with your vacuum packing machine are washable and can be
reused; you can even wash the bags in the dishwasher. For detailed information,
please refer to the section „Cleaning and care".
However, for hygienic reasons we recommend that you use the bags only once, if you
use them for perishable products, such as raw fish.
If you need foods more frequently, we recommend vacuum packing in the con-
tainer. Meat, for example Sauerbraten, can be marinated much more quickly in
the vacuum container, since the effect of the vacuum causes the marinade to
penetrate the meat more quickly and more thoroughly.
But it can also be used to keep lettuce fresh longer (in this case, place a paper
towel in the container before putting in the lettuce and vacuum packing).
To avoid container damage, never place the container the freezer compartment.
You should allow foods to cool first before vacuum sealing them in the contain-
er. Exposing the container to excessively low (below -18°C) or excessively high
(above 100°C) temperatures can result in damage to the material.
The bags are ideal for vacuum packing meat or fish; complete meals can also be
packaged in portions so that they keep longer.
Please note that if the food to be vacuum packed is moist, it should be partially
frozen first, since otherwise the liquid can run out during vacuum packing, which
would prevent a vacuum from forming.
Also, make sure that no liquid, fat, etc. is in the vicinity of the bag's seal, since
this will also prevent a vacuum from forming.
