INTRODUCTION GENERAL INFORMATION

Zepter VacSy® SEALING UNIT is a household machine intended for long-term food storage in a vacuum and is designed to vacuum pack and seal bags and vacuum containers. Oxygen provokes a chemical change in food and is an important factor in the formation of moulds and bacteria. As a consequence, grease can go rancid, food colour can change, moulds and bacteria can multiply, and flavour, vitamins, aroma and minerals can be lost. Vacuum packing delays such undesired effects, prolongs shelf life and preserves food quality. Only with the help of vacuum packing, i.e. removing air from packing manually or with a pump, can be a suitable environment to extend food freshness be established. The process of vacuum packing in containers or bags creates negative pressure. The most important advantages of vacuum packing are:

• Vitamins, minerals, nutrients and flavour are preserved.

• Multiplication of moulds and bacteria is suppressed, which extends food shelf life.

• Vacuum storage prevents the mixing of odours in the refrigerator or freezer. VacSy® SEALING UNIT is simple to use and efficient. You will be able to store food in a completely natural and healthier way. It will stay fresh longer and you will save time and money. The user manual is available for download from www.zepter.com.76 EN EN

2. Read the User Manual before you use the machine for the first time.

3. VacSy® SEALING UNIT is a professional machine whose technology and capacity has been adjusted for use in households. Given its uses, the machine is suitable for storage on the kitchen top where it can be used conveniently every day.

4. Place it on an even, smooth surface with enough space for placing food into bags.

6.1 AUTOMATIC VACUUM PACKING FUNCTIONS

Use the machine according to the following instructions:

1. Plug in the machine, switch it ON (pos. 1) and prepare Vacsy sealing unit for operation.

Check if the On / Off Indicator lights up (pos. 2). WARNING! If the sealing unit has not been used for a long time (e.g. 1 week) perform a test-run of the appliance. 2. Lower the lid of the machine. Press on the rims of the lids (first one side, then other) until a click is heard (Figure 2).

3. Press the Vacuum Packing of Bags but ton (pos. 4). Wait for the

Vacuum & Seal Indicator to stop blinking (pos. 7).

4. The Sealing Strip has warmed up and the machine is ready for

use. To lift the lid, press in the same place as you lock the machine and with your fingers lightly push the round plate, which is on the side of the machine (Figure 3). Figure 3: First push with the wrist on the top of the machine (at the same place as when locking), and then press against the inside round plate with the fingers, which is on the side of the machine.

5. Make a bag from the roll as follows:

a.) Determine the length needed. A bag should be about 5 cm longer than the item to be vacuum packed. To reuse the bag, leave additional 2.5 cm of bag material for each time you plan to reuse it, or next time use the bag for smaller items. b.) Cut off the desired length with the included cutter (Figure 4). c.) Place the roll on the Sealing Strip and extend it to the Black Gasket (Figure 5). Make sure that the edge is straight and level. ATTENTION! Pay attention how the roll is placed when sealing function is in use. d.) Lower the lid of the machine. Press on the rims of the lid (first one side, then the other) until a click is heard. e.) Press the Seal button (pos. 3). During sealing, the light (Vacuum & Seal Indicator) will be blinking. Figure 4: Determinate the needed length and cut it off with the manual cutter.Figure 2: Press on the rims of the lids (first one side, then other) until a click is heard. RECOMMENDATION: If the machine does not start with the sealing process right after you press the Seal button, then press gently on the middle of the lid with your finger. f.) When the indicator is no longer blinking, lift the lid. Press in the same place as you do to lock the machine and lightly push the round plate on the side of the machine with your fingers (Figure 3). Check the sealing edge on the bag. It should be smooth and even across its width and not creased. Figure 5: Place the roll on the Sealing strip and extend it to the black gasket to seal.Make sure to straighten and even the roll edge.6

RECOMMENDATION: When vacuum packing greasy products (especially bacon) it is strongly recommended to reverse the outside edges of bag, put the food item inside, and flip the edges back out again. This keeps the area to be sealed free of grease. 7. Place the filled bag on the work surface in front of the machine and pull it to the middle of the Vacuum Channel (between black gaskets; see Figure 6 – pos. 10). Make sure that the bag placed on the Sealing Strip is completely smooth (not creased).

8. Press on the rims of the lid (first one side, then the other) until a click is heard.

9. Press the Vacuum Packing of Bags button (pos. 4).

RECOMMENDATION: If the machine does not start the process right after you press the Vacuum Packing of Bags button, then press gently on the middle of the lid with your finger. WARNING! The bag will be vacuum packed and sealed automatically. Due to high vacuum pressure, the lid stays closed while the machine is in operation.

WARNING! The bag should always be at least 5 cm longer than the space occupied by the item to be vacuum packed.

6. Put food into it and vacuum pack.

Make sure that inner surfaces (for the sealing edge) are clean, dry and free of food materials.

6.2 MANUAL VACUUM PACKING FUNCTIONS

When vacuum packing foods that are easily crushed or contain a lot of water (fresh fruit, salads, mushrooms, bread, pastry) less vacuum should be used (from 0 to -300 mbar). With manual vacuum packing you can interrupt the process of removing air as soon as you assess that enough air has been sucked out of the bag or that further removal of air could damage foods that are easily crushed. Figure 7: When liquid collects in the container, lift it straight up, drain the liquid and carefully wipe the container.

Figure 6: For vacuum packing place the filled bag in the middle of the vacuum channel (between the black foam seals).

10. After the procedure (when the indicator no longer blinks), press the top of the machine with

your wrist (at the same place as when locking), and then with your fingers against the inside round plate on the side of the machine.

11. Check the vacuum-packed bag. The sealing edge should be smooth and clean.

12. If Vacsy sealing unit will be not in use for a long time, switch the machine OFF (pos. 1).

TIP! WHAT TO DO IN CASE THE MACHINE STARTS TO SUCK LIQUID OUT OF THE BAG DURING VACUUM PACKING If you notice that the machine starts to suck liquid out of food during vacuum packing, IMMEDIATELY interrupt the process of vacuum packing by pressing the Stop button (pos. 4). ATTENTION! The Stop button can be pressed only while the machine is vacuum packing (the button no longer works when the machine is sealing). If you do not stop the process of vacuum packing in time and liquid enters the Vacuum Channel, the machine will stop automatically, and the “Liquid Block” indicator will light up. To open the lid, press the top of the machine with your wrist (at the same place as when locking), and then press your fingers against the inside round plate, which is on the side of the machine (Figure 3). There is a container between the gaskets that you lift straight up (Figure 7). Drain the liquid and carefully wipe the whole container. If the liquid enters the channel with the container, wipe and dry the channel as well. Set the container back into its place and carry on with vacuum packing.8

VacSy® SEALING UNIT includes an Accessory adapter (hose and port), which can be used for the vacuum packing of VacSy®’ line vacuum containers and lids.

1. Insert the opening of the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port (see

Figure 8) on the right side of the Vacuum Channel.

2. Attach the Accessory Hose and Port to the valve of the chosen vacuum

3. Press the Vacuum Packing of Container button (pos. 5) to vacuum the

container. When the correct negative pressure is reached, the process stops automatically. WARNING! When vacuum packing liquid foods (soups, sauces, etc.) there should be at least 1.5 cm between the surface of the liquid and the lid. WARNING! Vacuum packing is not a substitute for freezing or refrigeration. Despite being vacuum packed foods still have to be stored in the refrigerator or freezer or in a cool place (e.g. dried meat products in a cellar). ATTENTION! Do not use bags or rolls for packing foods that contain a lot of liquid. Soups, sauces and liquids should either be pre-frozen before packing in a vacuum bag or vacuum packed in an acrylic container. Cooked meat, raw meat and fish For best results, we recommend pre-freezing meat and fish for 1-2 hours prior to vacuum packing to ensure the retention of juices and shape, and to help guarantee a good seal. If pre-freezing is not possible, place a folded paper towel between the meat and the top of the bag, avoiding the area to be sealed. Leave the paper towel in the bag when vacuum packing to absorb excess moisture and juices. ATTENTION! Beef may appear darker after vacuum packing due to the removal of oxygen. However, this does not indicate it is spoiled. Vegetables should be blanched prior to vacuuming.

• 1 to 2 minutes is enough for fresh leaf vegetables or beans.

• 3 to 4 minutes for chopped zucchini or broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables.

• 5 minutes for carrots.

• 7 to 11 minutes for cereals. The process of blanching stops the enzyme action and preserves flavour, colour and texture. After blanching, submerge the vegetables in cold water to stop the process, and then dry them with a paper towel prior to vacuum packing. We recommend storing leaf vegetables in vacuum containers. They should first be washed and dried with a paper towel, and then stored in a vacuum container. This way, spinach and lettuce will stay fresh up to 2 weeks when refrigerated. Mushrooms, raw garlic and raw potatoes We do not recommend vacuum packing. If you want to do it anyway, follow the instructions for the "manual vacuum packing" function carefully. WARNING! Defrosting of vacuum packed foods: Foods should always be defrosted in the refrigerator to preserve quality.

7 - VACUUM PACKING OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOOD

The process of manual vacuum packing is very similar to the above-described automatic vacuum packing, with only two main differences. Keep in mind that with soft and moist foods you have to pay extra attention to what is happening in the bag during vacuum packing. Always place the bag so that you set the edge of the bag between the gaskets in the Vacuum Channel (pos. 11). ATTENTION! When you assess that enough air has been removed (pay attention to what is happening with the food, if liquid is starting to slip toward the machine or if further removing of air could damage soft foods), press the Stop button (pos. 4). The pump stops and sealing is activated. You can always stop the vacuum packing process by pres sing the Stop button (if you, for example, determine that the food contains more liquid than you had assessed). TIP! The easiest way to vacuum pack the majority of fruits and vegetables, fresh meat and mushrooms is to put it into the freezer for 1-2 hours beforehand. It will keep its form and you will avoid the danger of liquid entering the Vacuum Channel during vacuum packing. Figure 8: Vacuum packing using containers2322 EN EN

PROBLEM: WHAT TO DO: VacSy® SEALING UNIT does not respond when I press the buttons.

• Make sure the machine is switched on and plugged in.
• If the socket is on but you have no power, check the socket with another appliance that you know works.
• Check the power cord for any damage – e.g. cracks or splitting.
• Your machine may switch off automatically to avoid overheating. Allow it to cool down for 45 minutes and then carry on as normal. We strongly recommend you leave 20 seconds between each vacuum packing.
• Pressing a function button must last at least one second for the machine to react. Air remains in the bag.

• Make sure you have fully placed the open end of the bag in the middle of the Vacuum Compartment.

• Ensure that the bags you are using have at least 100/130 μm thickness.

• Check your bag for any damage – e.g. splits, perforations or bubbles.

• Test: Seal bag and submerge it in water. At the points where a bag is damaged, bubbles will appear.

• When using continuous rolls make sure that the first sealing edge is firmly sealed.

• Make sure you have pressed on both sides on the rims of the lid tightly enough before vacuum packing. You must hear two clicks. The vacuum does not hold on the bags.

• Check the sealing areas of the lid are free from any dirt, grease or food particles, and that it is firmly in place.

• Ensure that the bag is totally clean on the edges – thoroughly remove any food particles or liquid and ensure the bag is completely dry.

• If you are sealing anything with sharp edges (e.g. bones) make sure they cannot pierce the bag during the vacuum process.

• Note: cover sharp edges with a paper towel, or similar, prior to sealing. Bag melts or cannot be sealed completely.

• Make sure you are using bags that are at least 100/130 μm thickness and 4 ply.

• Before the sealing ensure that the edges of the bag are clean and dry. The vacuum does not hold when using a container.

• Ensure that the hose is correctly inserted as shown in Figure 8.

• Make sure container lid is clean and dry and in the correct position.

• Make certain that the container valve is clean and dry. ZEPTER VacSy® SEALING UNIT sealed several bags (up to 5 items) and it seems it is not working anymore. Important note about vacuum bags:

• We strongly recommend vacuum bags of thickness at least 100/130 µ. There are many different types of vacuum bags available on the market, so pay special attention to quality. Our recommendation is to use original vacuum bags from Zepter, which are 4 ply and 100/130 µ thick.

Note: Only approximate time of preservation is indicated in the tables, as it depends on the initial state (freshness) and food preparation method. The storage of food is considered at +3 °C / +5°C in the refrigerator and at –18 °C in the freezer. TIPS!

1. Blanch before freezing or wash food before storing it in the

refrigerator. Chopped food containing a lot of water is not suitable for vacuum packing (cucumbers, zucchini etc.).

2. If you want to vacuum pack coffee or other ground food properly

with VacSy® SEALING UNIT, leave the items in their original packaging and place them into the VacSy® bag. If you do not have the original packaging, use a regular bag and insert it into the VacSy® bag. This way you can prevent beans or ground items from being sucked into the machine.

3. Mushrooms: We strongly recommend the "manual vacuum packing"

function. Only hard, meaty and fresh mushrooms are suitable for vacuum packing and freezing. First wash and dry the mushrooms, then chop them with a fine knife and store them in small quantities. Almost all types of mushrooms should be blanched. We recommend that you put them in the freezer for half an hour before vacuum packing. Do not thaw the mushrooms before cooking with them. Boil frozen mushrooms in hot salty water or add them to sauces.

4. Herbs containing a high proportion of essential oils, such as sage,

thyme, rosemary or peppermint are not suitable for vacuum packing but only for drying. Basil, tarragon, garden dill, parsley and chives should be frozen. If dried, they lose too much flavour.
