I n the vacuum-sealing drawer, you can vacuum-seal food
in suitable bags and containers. This chapter provides
you with information about the assembly and basic
functions of your appliance.
How does a vacuum-sealing drawer
work?
During the vacuum-sealing process, air is pumped out of
the vacuum-sealing compartment and the bag. This
produces a high vacuum in the compartment. The higher
the vacuum-sealing level, the less air remains in the
compartment and the bag, and the higher the pressure
difference to the environment.
If the selected vacuum-sealing level has been reached,
the heat-sealing bar is pressed against the silicone bar
on the glass lid. As a result, the bag is heat-sealed. After
a short cooling time, air flows back into the compartment,
creating a loud noise. During this process, the bag
suddenly contracts and encloses the food. The drawer's
glass lid then opens.
Different degrees of vacuum can be created with vacuum-
sealing levels 1 to 3. The degrees that are reached here
vary depending on the application: When vacuum-sealing
in a container, the degrees of vacuum are lower and
therefore better suited for particular food. When the
external vacuuming adapter is attached, the vacuum-
sealing drawer automatically detects which mode has just
been activated.
