► 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
► 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.
16.5 Use of the function Pulse Vacuum (Manuelles Vakuum)
Since the pressure of the vacuuming becomes too strong for specific foods and these
could be crushed in the bag, you can adjust the length and strength of the vacuuming
process via the function "pulse vacuum". So you can adjust the vacuum strength to the
consistency of your vacuum food and also seal soft foods (for example berry fruit) without
crushing them.
Due to the time and pressure control, the crushing of delicate foods is prevented. You can
also use this function for the packaging of juicy foods to prevent that fluids are aspirated
and drawn out.
1. Put the foods you want to store into the bag.
2. Be sure that the open end of the bag is within the vacuum chamber seal. This
guarantees that there is no escape of the vacuum.

hands for this.
4. Press the button Pulse Vacuum (Manuelles Vakuum)
5. As long as you press the button, air is withdrawn. Only when you release the button,
the process stops. Thus you can exactly control the vacuum and prevent the liquid
from being sucked. Hold the button pressed until the required vacuum has been
reached.
6. Then press the Seal (Schweißen) button and seal the bag.
