Making a bag using the bag roll
Place the unit on a dry place. Make sure the working area in front of the unit is free of obstacles and
wide enough to accommodate the food bags.
1. Plug the unit into 230V~ power source – now the unit is ready for operation.
2. Make sure that the bag you want to use is at least 8cm/3.1in. longer than the food. Add another 2
cm/0.8in. each time the bag is re-used.
3. Unroll the bag to the desired length and cut the bag to the appropriate length with precise and
clear cut. Open the lid and put one end of the bag on top of the black rubber strip, then close the
cover (see Step 1).
4. Press the cover down heavily on both sides by the dotted areas using two hands until two click
sounds heard (see Step 2).
5. Press the “Schweißen”-Button and the red LED control light starts flashing.
6. When the LED light turns off, the bag is sealed.
7. Now you have a custom-sized bag.
Preserve food with vacuum:
1. Put the food that you want to preserve inside the bag.
2. Clean and straighten the open end of the bag, make sure that there are no wrinkles or ripples on
the panels of the open ends.
3. Remove any unwanted liquids or food residue from the inside of the bag.
4. Make sure that both panels of the bag are located within the rippled area (vacuum plate), but
below the round post which is the vacuum pump hole to ensure no vacuum leaking.
5. Close the cover and then press heavily on both sides of the cover in the dotted areas until two
click sounds heard.
6. Press the “Vakuum”-button then the bag will be automatically vacuumed and sealed.
7. After that press the two “Cover Lock”-buttons and the process is completed (see Step3).
8. Check the appearance of the sealed bag; it should have a stripe across the seal and no wrinkles
otherwise the seal may not be complete.
9. If you need to interrupt the vacuum operation (e.g. the bag is incorrectly positioned) first presses
the “Abbruch” pushbutton and then the “Cover-Unlock”-buttons.
Helpful Hints
1. 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.
2. Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may be difficult to seal tightly.
3. There are many non-food uses for vacuum packing. Keep camping supplies such as matches,
first aid kits and clothing clean and dry. Keep flares for auto emergencies ready. Keep silver and
collectibles untarnished.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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
7. Suggest to vacuum seal one bag within 1 minute to let the appliance cool down enough.
8. If it’s not reach the required vacuum for some unknowable reason, the vacuum system will shut
automatically after 30 seconds. In this situation please check if there is a hole in the bag or if the
bag is not placed properly.
Open a sealed bag
Cut the bag straight across with scissors, just inside the seal.
Resealing
You can reseal many foods in their original store packages (i.e. potato chip bags), follow the steps
shown in chapter “Preserve food with vacuum” to seal when resealing foods.
Note: The vacuum preservation system can’t be directly used for the vacuum sealing of
canisters or canning jars.

Vacuum bag guidelines
Vacuum sealing for the refrigerator
For the busy family, meals can be prepared ahead and vacuum-sealed in individual servings.
Preparing food for the freezer
1. In properly stored conditions, the vacuum sealer helps you to maintain the food’s freshness.
2. Freeze the foods which need to hold its shape or fragile, then vacuum seal them in a vacuum
bag and return to freezer. Food such as meat berries and bread can so be frozen without fear of
freezer.
3. 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.
4. Blanch the vegetables by cooking briefly in boiling water or microwave oven, cool them down ,
then vacuum seal them in convenient portions.
5. 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.
6. 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.
This vacuum preservation system will change the way you purchase and store foods. Once you are
accustomed to vacuum packing, it will become an indispensable part of your food preparation.
Please follow certain procedures when using this appliance to ensure food quality and safety:
1. Chemical reactions in the food to air, temperature, moisture as well as enzyme actions, growth
of microorganisms or contamination from insects will cause food spoilage.
2. The leading cause for food to lose nutritive value, texture, flavor and quality is oxygen in the air.
Most microorganism growth relies on air, for it will carry moisture into and out of foods unless
they are protected with moisture-proof packing. Frozen foods being exposed to freezer air will
get freezer burn.
3. The vacuum seal packing removes up to 90% of the air from the package. Its approximately
21% oxygen in the air, so 90% air removal leaves a 2% to 3% residual oxygen level in
vacuum-sealed foods. When the oxygen level is at or below 5%, as you know, most
microorganisms are inhibited from growth.
4. In general, there are three categories of microorganisms: mold, yeast and bacteria, they are
present everywhere, but only under certain conditions they can cause problems.
5. In a low oxygen environment or in the absence of moisture, mold can’t grow; in moisture, sugar
and a moderate temperature circumstance, yeast can grow with or without air. Refrigeration will
slow the growth of yeast and freezing stops it completely; Bacteria can grow with or without air.
6. One of the extremely dangerous type of bacteria is clostridium botulinum and they can grow
under the right conditions without air: in the temperature range of 40F – 115F (4°C – 46°C).
Conditions for growth are foods lacking acid, low oxygen environment and temperatures greater
than 40F (4°C) for extended time.
7. Frozen, dried, high in acid, salt or sugar foods can resistant to botulinum. Non-acid foods which
include meat, seafood, lye-cured olives, poultry, fish, eggs and mushrooms; low-acid foods
which are mostly vegetables; medium-acid foods include overripe tomatoes, onions, chili
peppers, figs and cucumbers are easy be infected by botulinum.
8. Foods most susceptible to botulinum should be refrigerated for short term and frozen for
long-term storage, and consume them immediately after heating.
9. Some dried foods, such as flour and cereals may contain insect larvae, if do not vacuumsealed, larvae may hatch during storage and contaminate the foods. To prevent weevils and
other insects from hatching, store these foods in vacuum seal package.
10. Avoid spoilage; foods should be stored at low temperatures; few species of microorganisms
could grow without air but not at low temperature.
11. If temperatures in the refrigerator greater than 40°F (4°C) (especially for extended periods of
time), it will support the growth of harmful microorganisms, so you should keep the temperature
at 40°F (4°C) or below.
12. The temperature of your freezer should be 0°F (-17°C) or lower, this is ideal temperature for
storing foods, although freezing does not kill microorganisms, it retards their growth.
13. The vacuum-sealed storage temperature will affect dried foods; their shelf life is extended 3-4
times for every 18°F (10°C) drop in temperature.
Functions
1. The main function of this appliance is to store a wide kind of foods for freshness, longer
shelf life, flavor and convenience. In general, vacuum packaging keeps food fresh up to
three times as long as other traditional food storage methods. Once this appliance will be an
indispensable part of your life, you will have less food spoilage and it will save your money.
a. Cook in advance to vacuum seal and store individual portions or entire meals.
These vacuum bags are not recommended for microwave or boil-in-bag cooking,
please use the general cooking methods to reheat the vacuum-sealed foods.
b. Prepare foods in advance for picnics and camping trips or barbecues.
c. Eliminate freezer burn.
d. Package foods, such as meat, fish, poultry, seafood and vegetables to freeze or
refrigerate.
e. Package dry foods, such as beans, nuts, and cereals to store longer.
2. This system can also be used to store and protect other items; valuable items, such as
photos, important documents, stamp collections, book collections, jewellery, cards, comics
etc.; hardware items, such as screws, nails, studs and bolts; medicines, band-aids and
other firs-aid items etc.
General rules for food safety
From scientific study and common sense, we can learn the following food safety rules and it will
lead you to improve the food safety and to optimize food storage.
1. If perishable foods have been heated, defrosted or un-refrigerated, consume them immediately.
2. To re-vacuum the vacuum-packed foods after they have been opened, follow the instructions to
refrigerate after opening and store re-vacuumed packages properly.
3. The suitable way to defrost your food is to place it in the refrigerator until defrosted, never
defrost foods in hot water or via heat sources or in a microwave oven.
4. It will be harmful if you consume the foods which have been left out at room temperature for
more than a few hours, especially if they have been prepared with a thick sauce, in a vacuum
package, or in some other low-oxygen environment.
5. To cool down food temperature quickly, please spread vacuum packages evenly throughout
refrigerator or freezer.
6. Before vacuum sealing, it’s necessary to clean your hands, and all utensils and surfaces to be
used for cutting and vacuum sealing foods.
7. Refrigerate or freeze the perishable foods immediately, if you have vacuum-sealed them, and
do not leave them sitting at room temperature.
8. The shelf life of dry foods such as nuts, coconut or cereals will be extended in vacuum-sealed
package, while storing them in dark place. Oxygen and warm temperature will cause high-fat
content foods fat to rancidity.
9. Before vacuum sealing some fruit and vegetables, such as apples, bananas, potatoes and root
vegetables, peel them, this will extend their shelf lives.
10. When vacuum seal some vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage fresh for
refrigeration, they will emit gases, so it’s need to blanch and freeze these foods before vacuum
sealing.
The vacuum sealer system is designed to satisfy current electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
If you suspect that operation interferes with the normal running of your television, radio or other
electric appliances try to change the position of the sealer until the interference ceases, or connect
the unit to another outlet.
Responsibilities The manufacturer, the dealer and the importer consider themselves responsible
for the safety, reliability and performance of the vacuum sealer only if:
• The unit is used in compliance with instructions.
• The electric system used complies with IEC
• Assembly, additions, changes or repairs are carried out by qualified personnel.
