Preparing The Appliance For Operation; Vacuum Packing In Bags - Unold 48016 Bedienungsanleitung

this will also prevent a vacuum from forming.
By the way, you can vacuum seal other things than just food. Old photographs,
stamps, documents or silverware can be vacuum packed to protect it from dam-
aging effects of the environment.
Bags or containers with vacuum packed food can be heated directly in hot water
or the microwave. In this case, punch a small hole in the bag so that the pressure
can escape. To heat foods in the container, the lid first has to be opened briefly.
We recommend that you do not reuse bags that have been used for heating foods.
Meat, for example sauerbraten, can be marinated much more quickly in the
vacuum container, since the effect of the vacuum causes the marinade to pen-
etrate the meat more quickly and more thoroughly.
Please note, however, that vacuum packed foods also have to be stored prop-
erly. Perishable goods, for example, have to be cooled even if they are vacuum
packed. Please do not vacuum pack garlic or mushrooms. Vacuum packing of
these foods causes a chemical reaction, which can result in spoilage.

PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION

1. Remove all packaging material and any transport safety devices.
2. Clean all components with a damp cloth, as described in the chapter "Clean-
ing and care".
3. Place the appliance on a suitable level surface.
4. Make sure that there is enough space in front of the appliance for the bag
to be vacuum packed.
5. Connect the appliance via the power cord to the power supply (AC, 220–
240 V~, 50 Hz). The indicator lamp lights up green, indicating that the
appliance is ready for operation.

VACUUM PACKING IN BAGS

1. Prepare the appliance as described in the section "Preparing the appliance
for operation" .
2. Open the cover of the appliance. Check to make sure the seal is inserted
properly. If there are any foreign objects such as crumbs on the seal, they
have to be removed, since otherwise no vacuum can be created.
3. Fill the bag with the food to be vacuumed. For optimal results, the bag
should not be too full. Leave about 8 cm between the contents and the edge
of the bag.
4. Place the open end of the bag in the middle of the vacuum packing cham-
ber.
5. Close the cover and press the two catches on the right and left of the appli-
ance inward at the same time.
