Welding a tube film
NOTES ON THE FILM
► The film width may not exceed 30 cm. Otherwise it cannot be welded
correctly.
► Use only nylon-PE films with a structure (points or grooves) on one side and
that have a structure (points or grooves) on one side and a thickness of
approximately 0.17 - 0.29 mm (170 - 290 μ).
Otherwise the weld seam will not be tight and the appliance may be da-
maged. You can recognise films of this type from the information on the
packaging. The quality of the weld seam will vary depending on the type
and thickness of the film.
► The supplied film is suitable for temperatures between -20°C and +110°C.
1) Cut the desired length for your bag from the tube film using a pair of scissors.
Cut as straight as possible.
2) Open the appliance lid 1 by pressing the lid release 8 and opening the
lid 1 upwards.
3) Lay the open end of the bag as far into the appliance so that the opening of
the bag is located centrally under the lower sealing ring 5. The bag should
be inserted no further than the rear limiters 6 and must lie between the front
limiters 7. If the bag lies over one or both of the two limiters 7, then the
bag cannot be correctly welded.

during the vacuum sealing process.
If small quantities of liquid or food do get sucked up, they will be deposited
in the small drip tray that is located between the lower sealing ring 5.
1) Lay the open end of the bag as far into the appliance so that the opening of
the bag is located centrally under the lower sealing ring 5. The bag should
be inserted no further than the rear limiters 6 and must lie between the front
limiters 7. Otherwise the vacuuming and welding will not function correctly:

3) Press the button t. The green control lamp z lights up and the appliance
sucks the air out of the bag. As soon as all the air is sucked out, the green
control lamp z goes out and the red control lamp w lights up. The appliance
now seals the bag.
4) If both control lamps w/z have gone out, you can open the lid by pressing
the lid catch 8 and flipping the lid 1 upwards. Remove the vacuum-sealed
bag.
NOTE
► You can stop the vacuuming process at any time by pressing the button t
at any time. The green control lamp z will then go off. Press the
button t
If the appliance has already switched to the sealing process and the red
control lamp q is lit, the process can be stopped with the button r.
The appliance then stops the sealing process.
► Once you have sealed 5 bags in a row, allow the appliance to cool down
for about 1 minute.
During this cool-down phase, you cannot start the appliance. After the
cool-down phase, you can use the appliance as normal.
TIP – "SOUS-VIDE COOKING"
► As the supplied film is suitable for temperatures between -20°C and
+110°C, it can be used for the so-called "sous-vide" cooking process
(vacuum cooking).
"Sous-vide" is French and means "under vacuum".
In vacuum cooking, the food (usually fish or meat, but vegetables can
also be used) is vacuum-sealed in a bag and then cooked in water or steam
cooked at a relatively low temperature (50 to 90 C). The advantage of this is
that volatile flavours or aroma are not lost during cooking. The food does not
dry out and the vitamins and flavours are preserved. Herbs or spices that are
vacuum-sealed in the bag with the food give off a more intense flavour.
