Use of the function "selectable welding time"
16.6
When there are fluids in the bag and hence in the section where you want to seal it, the
welding procedure should be adjusted to "feucht". This would increase the welding time
and the bag is safely sealed. Press the button "Lebensmittel trocken & feucht". If the lamp
will illuminate above "feucht", the welding time for moist vacuum food is adjusted.
► Do not put too much food inside the bag; leave enough empty length in the open end
of the bag so that the bag can be placed in the vacuuming plate more positively.
► Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may be difficult to seal tightly.
► Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing the bag. Make sure
nothing is leaving on the open area of the bag. Foreign objects or creased bags may
cause difficulty to seal tightly.
► Do not leave too much air inside the bag. Press the bag to allow extra air to escape
from the bag before vacuuming it. Too much air inside the bag increases the vacuum
pump loading and may cause that the motor works insufficient to draw away all the air
out of the bag.
► If the foods you're sealing have sharp edges, such as bones, spaghetti or shellfish,
pack the edges with kitchen paper to avoid tearing the bag
► Suggest to vacuum seal one bag within 1 minute to let the appliance cool down
enough.
► In order to vacuum seal liquid-based foods, such as soups, casseroles or stew, freeze
them first in a baking pan or tempered dish, vacuum seal them, label and stack them
in your freezer as soon as they are in frozen solid.
► Blanch the vegetables by cooking briefly in boiling water or microwave oven, cool them
down , then vacuum seal them in convenient portions.
► To vacuum seal the foods not frozen, two extra inches are required for bag length to
allow for expansion while freezing. Place the meat or fish on a paper towel and
vacuum seal with the paper towel in the bag, this way will help to absorb moisture from
the foods.
► Before storing the foods such as tortillas, crepes or hamburger, use wax or parchment
paper between them to stack the pieces, this will be easier to remove some of the
food, reseal the rest and immediately replace in the freezer.
► The vacuum sealer can't be used directly for vacuum sealing canisters or canning jars
16.7 Vacuum package in a Canister
Wipe canister cover, canister base and ensure they are clean and dry.
Put the items into the canister and do not fill up too full so that the cover can be in good
contact with the canister bowl rim. Close the cover.
