Use

! Congratulations on your ZWILLING FRESH & SAVE vacuum starter set. With ZWILLING FRESH & SAVE vacuum products you can keep your food fresh for longer.

Please note that vacuuming is no a substitute for proper freezing, cooling or preservation of food. The shelf life of food depends on many factors, such as the initial germ content of the food, the observance of correct storage and cooling conditions and the required hygiene during processing and vacuuming. Maintain the usual storage and hygiene procedures for food. If possible, dry the food before vacuum packaging. Always wait for the food to cool down to room temperature before vacuuming.

Some vegetables emit gases in their raw state, which can lead to a loss of vacuum inside the packaging. These include cabbage, beans, onions and garlic. To prevent the formation of gases, these should be blanched before vacuuming. Blue cheese should not be stored under vacuum, fresh mushrooms only when deep-frozen.

Reading the indicator light and battery symbol

• Indicator light flashing: Vacuum sealing in process
- Indicator light lights up for 5 seconds and then turns off: Vacuum sealing is complete
- Battery symbol flashing fast: Battery power is low
• Battery symbol flashing slow: Charging in process
- Battery symbol glowing: Fully charged, ready to unplug

1 Charging the vacuum pump

To maintain optimal battery function, charge at least once every 3 to 6 months.

Charge the vacuum pump fully before the first use. Place the pump in the charging station. Insert the small USB connector into the port at the charging station. Insert the larger USB connector (USB 2.0) into a power adapter and plug it into a wall socket.

You can also connect the charging cable to the USB port of a computer. During charging, the indicator light will flash slowly. When the pump is fully charged, the indicator light will continuously glow. Depending on the power source charging may take 2 to 5 hours.

2 Vacuum sealing boxes and bags

! The pump must not absorb any liquids (e.g. water, oil, meat juices). If you see that the pump is sucking in liquids, immediately stop the vacuum sealing process by pressing the On/Off button.

The duration of the vacuum sealing process depends on the size of the container and how much it is filled. If a container is smaller or more full, the vacuum sealing process is faster.

Place the vacuum pump on the valve of the box and, if necessary press down lightly. Press the On/Off button on the pump.

The pump sucks the air out of the box. The vacuum sealing stops automatically when the vacuum pressure reaches the right level. The vacuum sealing can also be manually interrupted at any time by pressing the On/Off button.

If the right level cannot be reached because, for example, the pump is not seated correctly, the vacuum process will stop automatically after 2 minutes. The container may not be closed properly.

! Clean the vacuum boxes before using them for the first time. Before each use, make sure that the seal of the lid and the edge of the box are clean and dry.

Do not overfill the box. Always leave 1-2 cm free to the edge. Make sure the food inside the box does not come in contact with the valve on the inside of the lid.

GB

Use

ZWILLING FRESH & SAVE glass vacuum boxes can be placed in the oven if the lid is removed (max. 180 °C). Do not expose the glass vacuum boxes to extreme temperature shocks, e.g. do not place a vacuum box out of the fridge into a warm oven.
! The opening of the bag has to be completely clean and dry. Make sure the valve on the inside of the bag does not come into contact with its contents.
All bags and boxes included in the starter pack can be used to warm up food in the microwave. Even boxes with attached lids. For oily foods we recommend to use the glass boxes.
Before using the boxes in the microwave, make sure that the vacuum has been released and the lid is resting loosely on top.

i

With soft or liquid foods, it helps to freeze them briefly before vacuuming into bags. A firm consistency prevents your food from being crushed during vacuuming or liquid from entering the pump. Alternatively, the ZWILLING FRESH & SAVE vacuum boxes are particularly suitable here.

i

For marinating or sous-vide cooking, we recommend the use of the liquid barrier attachment. Clip it onto the valve on the inside of the bag before sealing the bag. The liquid barrier inhibits liquid absorption by the pump during the vacuum sealing process. Stop the vacuum sealing process immediately by pressing the ON/OFF button if you see liquids getting nearer to the pump.

Use GB

Bags can be easily closed with the included zipper. Slide it sideways onto the bag and move it across to close the bag. Then stroke your finger with a little pressure over the sealing strip to ensure that the bag is properly closed. To open the bags, pull the sealing bar apart with your hands.

Remember to press down the PUSH button in the middle of the silicone valve after each vacuuming process to finally seal the valve.

3 Opening a vacuumed container

To open vacuum boxes or bottles, carefully pull the silicone valve to the side. Air flows in slowly and the vacuum escapes. The containers can be opened.

After the vacuuming process, the inner lid of the vacuum box will be lowered and the sealing is expanded (this behaviour does not apply to lids from lunch boxes). As soon as the inner lid lifts, the vacuum should be refreshed. Use the vacuum pump to vacuum the box again.

Troubleshooting/Customer Service/Disposal

The pump stops during the vacuum sealing process and does not turn back on.

The pump sucked in liquids during the vacuum sealing process.

Do not turn the pump upside down. Shake the pump slightly to remove any liquid. Make sure the pump and the charging station are completely dry. Plug the pump into the charging station for one second to reset, then remove it and push the On/Off button. Additional liquids may drip out. Repeat this process if the pump stops again.
