MARINATING FOODS
Using the MARINATE function, the appliance will run cycles of evacuating and relea-
sing air to the container. This way, your food will get optimum pickle infusion in the
least possible time duration. The complete marinating process will last approx. 20
minutes. Thereafter, the appliance will stop operation automatically.
WARNING:
foods. Unsuited containers could implode during evacuation and thereafter, with
splinters and splashes being hurled about. Always check the container and contai-
ner lid for proper state before marinating. There may be no cracks, distortions or
worn out seals. Always handle evacuated containers with special care to avoid
damage and injuries due to implosion.
Note
Always remove the container lid or bottle top completely, before heating food
within the vacuum container. Before heating, ensure that the container is sufficiently
heat-resistant. Do not heat vacuum containers directly on the range or in the oven.
It is best to use a bain-marie (pot with hot water). Microwave-resistant containers
may be heated in a microwave oven with the lid open.
Note
The designated vacuum hose may not fit to the lid of vacuum containers being
sold on the market but not recommended by the manufacturer. Before operation,
check whether your container is suited for usage with the appliance. When using
vacuum containers for marinating, there must be a manually adjustable pressure
valve on the container lid. During the marinate process, ensure that the pressure
valve of the container is in the open position.
Note
To prevent germs from getting into your food, it is good advice to sterilize the con-
tainer and lid before filling in food. For this, you may rinse the container with hot
water (at least 80 °C). However, ensure that the container will tolerate the high
temperature. After sterilization, do not wipe the container but leave it dry naturally
on a clean surface. When wiping with a cloth, germs could get onto the surfaces
of the container again.
1. Ensure that the vacuum container and container lid are undamaged, airtight and
completely clean and dry.
2. Fill your food into the vacuum container, leaving at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free
Only use the designated vacuum containers for marinating
