Special Safety Instructions

WARNING: Risk of burns!

During and immediately after operation, the temperature of the welding wire is very high. For this reason, you find the label "CAUTION: HOT SURFACE" displayed above the bar.

Any other use is considered to be non-intended and can lead to material damage or even personal injury.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by improper usage.

Instructions for Food Storing

Vacuuming, i.e. air suction from the packaging, is a proven method to extend the storage time of food.

With the PC-VK 1134, you have chosen a product that enables you to quickly and practically use the advantages of air-tight packaging. Our food quickly loses its fresh taste and quality due to atmospheric oxygen. The air-tight packaging prevents this.

Approx 90% of the air is removed from the seal pouches. Compared to conventional storage methods, the storage time of vacuumed and heat sealed food is therefore extended by a factor of five. Freezer burn is prevented. Ready-to-serve meals can be portioned as required and packaged.

Also, cooking of the food is possible in the vacuum packaging. During the so called “sous vide cooking” (vacuum cooking) nutrients and natural taste are preserved even better.

In addition to solid foods such as nuts or beans, non-consumable objects, that are sensitive to moisture, such as coins, silver jewelry, clothes or matches for the next canoe trip, can also be protected.

The following rules and notes will assist you, especially if you have never had a vacuum sealer before.

• Wash your hands and clean the accessories before you begin the work.
• The bag should be approx. 8 centimeters longer than the goods to be inserted.
• Do you have loose items like herbs, and would like to cut open and re-seal the bag? In that case, add another 2 centimeters of material.
• Add another 5 centimeters in length if you want to freeze the product, since water-containing fluids can expand under the cold influx.
• To create a vacuum, use only sheets with a structure, for example a rib, honeycomb or rhombic structure. Optimal results can be achieved with the diagonal ribbed foil included in the distribution package.

• Keep the area of the weld seam dry and clean. Avoid creases, as the seam may start leaking in such places.

• Fruits and vegetables last longer in vacuum when they have been peeled beforehand.

• Cabbages, such as broccoli and cauliflower, must be blanched beforehand as they emit gases when packaged raw.
• Various goods, such as meat, contain moisture. Place these items in the bag, together with a kitchen paper.
• If there are sharp edges that could damage the bag(e.g. bones), wrap the product into kitchen paper beforehand.
• Liquids in the bag can only be heat sealed, not vacuumed, as liquid could be sucked in. Press the air out of the bag beforehand.
• The vacuum pump can be used to suck in liquids. Use only the SEAL function when heat sealing liquids.
• Once the food is packaged, it must either be stored in a cool place or frozen.
• Products that are likely to freeze together, such as pies or pieces of meat, should be separated by wax or parchment paper.
• Place food to be frozen into the freezer/freezer compartment immediately after packing. Use the shock-freezing function where necessary.

• Do you want to freeze liquid foods, such as soup, in a vacuum bag? Freeze the liquid in a bowl. Remove the tray and put the product in a foil bag.

• Do you want to open the bags again? Cut with a scissors along the welding seam.

• You can heat up the bags in a cooking pot. Do not exceed a temperature of 80°C.

• When heating up the bags in the microwave, please take note of the following:

• Most liquids expand during heating. Stick into the bags beforehand, using a fork.

• Place the bags in a microwave dish or bowl
• Heat up the bags with a maximum of 50% of the microwave output.
• Heat up the bags only at low or medium temperature.
• Never heat it using the grill or hot air.

- Dispose of bags used for storage of raw meat, fish or greasy products. Other bags can be rinsed by hand and reused.

Bags are available in the sizes 22 x 30 or 28 x 40 centimeters.

Foil rolls are available in the size 28 x 600 centimeters.

Application Notes

Location

Place the device on a non-slip, flat surface. Make sure that the ventilation slots at the bottom of the device are not concealed.

Power Cord

Completely unwind the power cord from the back. Insert the cable into the cable guide so that the device cannot tilt.

Electrical Connection

1. Check whether the device is suitable for the existing mains voltage. The relevant information can be found on the type plate.
2. Connect the power cord to a properly installed earthing contact outlet.

i NOTE:

Operate the device with dry hands only, to prevent the electronic touch panel from failing.

Operation

Create a Bag From Yard Goods of the Roll.

Foil can also be purchased as yard goods.

i NOTE:

The foil should have a special structure so that the air can be extracted well! You can use rib, honeycomb or rhombic structure foil.

To make a bag from yard goods, please follow the steps below:

1. Open the device by pressing the release buttons (10) on the left as well as the right side.
2. Place the roll in the designated tray (9).
3. Measure the desired length of the foil.
4. Use the cutting knife (14) to separate the foil with a straight cut.

5. Place the wrap foil on the front sealing (12). Press down the cover evenly and firmly, until it snaps into place on both sides with an audible click.

6. Press the SEAL button. After approx 5 minutes, the white light above the button goes out and the seam is heat sealed.

7. Press the release buttons (10) on both sides to open the cover.
8. You have now created a bag. In case you are using a foil without a prefabricated weld seam, repeat the steps until the pouch is created.

Vacuum and Heat Seal a Pouch

You can now package the goods into the pre-fabricated bag.

i NOTE:

- Please also note the "Instructions for storing food" and the chapter "Functions of the switch".

i NOTE:

- Bags with liquids should be sealed only! The liquid could be sucked in. Select the function SEAL only.

1. Open the device by pressing the release buttons (10) on the left as well as the right side.
