• The appliance must be allowed to cool for 1 minute between heat- sealing or vacuum-seal- ing.

• Do not try to vacuum- seal bags containing liquids or runny food- stuffs, as the contents of the bag may be sucked into the appliance and destroy it.29

• Only use bags recom- mended by the stock- ist. Do not use kitchen film or similar, as it may damage the appliance.

• Remove the bag as soon as it has been heat-sealed/sealed. If it is left in the appliance while the hot wire cools, it may stick to the appli- ance.

• Always keep the hot wire clean to avoid contaminating the food or substances to be packed.

• Always keep the hot wire clean of food resi- dues and dirt so that the sealing power is not reduced.

• Do not use the vacuum or sealing function when the lid is open. Make sure that the lid is locked (using the release button) before using the vacuum or sealing function.

ADVANTAGES OF VACUUM

SEALING Vacuum-packed food keeps better and longer in the fridge or freezer compared to food in packaging with air in it. Some types of food can also be cooked/ reheated by putting the sealed bag into a dish of water or in a microwave oven. When cooking food in a microwave oven, prick holes in the bag with a fork so that steam can escape. It is also possible to seal/vacuum-seal items such as personal papers, medi- cines, etc. for travelling, camping or sail- ing so they do not get wet.30

VACUUM-SEALING BOTTLES AND CONTAINERS If you have a vacuum hose and vacuum containers or wine corks, you can use the appliance to suck the air out of the containers or wine bottles using the hose provided, allowing the contents to last longer.
