Frequently Asked Questions - 802-559 Menuett

What should I do if nothing happens when I press the VACUUM button?

First, check that the power cord is plugged in and undamaged. Ensure the power outlet is live (test with another device). Verify the power switch on the rear is ON. Also ensure the vacuum bag is correctly positioned in the chamber and the cover is closed firmly by pressing both sides. Allow the appliance to cool for 25 minutes if it may be overheated.

Why is air not being drawn out of the bag?

Inspect the bag for creases or holes. Check that the upper and lower seals in the vacuum chamber are not loose, cracked, or worn. If the food has high liquid content, the seal may fail; open the bag, wipe the inside dry, and try again. Make sure the bag is inserted correctly in the vacuum chamber.

What causes the bag to melt during sealing?

The sealing strip may be too hot if used back-to-back. Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. If the bag still melts, let the appliance cool for 25 minutes and try again.

Why does the sealed bag fill with air again?

Check for holes or creases in the seal; cut open and reseal or use a new bag. Avoid liquid in the bag during sealing; if food is high in moisture, freeze it for 1-2 hours before vacuum packing. Also ensure the food has no sharp edges that could puncture the bag and that the chamber seals are intact.

How do I make custom sized bags from a roll?

Roll out enough material for the food plus 5 cm. Cut straight with a sharp knife. Plug in the appliance. Open the cover, place one end of the bag on the sealing strip, close the cover firmly, and press the SEAL button. The status lamp lights during sealing; wait for it to go out, then release the cover. Allow at least 20 seconds cooling between seals.

Can I vacuum pack liquids or soups?

Yes, but only after freezing the liquid solid in a suitable container. Remove the frozen block from the container and vacuum pack it. When cooking, cut a corner of the bag and heat in a microwave or simmer in water (max 75°C). Never vacuum pack fresh mushrooms, onions, or garlic due to anaerobic bacteria risk.

How should I vacuum pack cheese?

Vacuum pack cheese after each meal. Use a bag longer than necessary so you can reseal it multiple times. Never vacuum pack soft cheeses as they risk growing anaerobic bacteria.

Is vacuum packaging a substitute for refrigeration or freezing?

No. Vacuum packaging only slows down degradation; it does not prevent spoilage. Perishable foods must still be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum packing. It also does not prevent mould growth, and some pathogens can grow in low-oxygen environments.

How do I clean the vacuum sealer?

Unplug the appliance. Do not immerse in water. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Use paper towels to remove excess food or liquid inside. Clean the vacuum chamber with a cloth moistened with mild detergent, then wipe dry.

What should I do if the appliance overheats?

The appliance has overheating protection that shuts it off automatically. If this happens, unplug it and allow it to cool for 25 minutes before resuming use. To prevent overheating, wait at least 20 seconds between seals and do not seal more than 20 bags in succession without a 25-minute break.

USE

Close and lock the cover and press the vacuum button. The appliance extracts the air and seals the bag. Release the cover by pressing the buttons on the sides of the appliance.

FOOD SAFETY

IMPORTANT! Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for refrigerated/frozen storage. Delicate foods must be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum packaging.

Vacuum pack fresh food to extend the shelf life. Vacuum packaging cannot prevent degradation, it only slows it down. Vacuum packaging does not prevent mould growth. Disease-causing microorganisms can also grow in oxygen-poor environments and may require other measures to be eliminated.

TIPS

Cooking, thawing and heating: Allow the food to simmer in water in the vacuum bag (max. 75°C), it preserves the flavours and helps with the washing up.

Always puncture the vacuum bag before heating in a microwave, otherwise the bag may burst.

IMPORTANT! Thaw perishable foods in the refrigerator or microwave, not at room temperature.

Meat and fish

Let meat and fish be in the freezer for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging. This helps to maintain the juices and shape and makes sealing easier.

If you do not have the possibility to freeze foods, place a piece of paper towel between the food and the opening, below the sealing area. The paper towel remains in the bag to absorb moisture during packaging.

Cheese

Vacuum pack cheese after each meal. Use a bag that is longer than necessary, so you can reseal it several times.

IMPORTANT! Never vacuum pack soft cheeses - risk of growth of anaerobic bacteria.

Vegetables

Blanch vegetables before vacuum packing. This interrupts the enzyme processes that can degrade the flavour, colour and texture. Place the vegetables in boiling water or in a microwave and cook until they are cooked through but not soft.

Examples of blanching times:

Leafy greens and peas: 1-2 minutes

French beans, sliced squash and broccoli: 3–4 minutes.

Carrots: 5 minutes

Corn on the cob: 7-11 minutes Rinse the vegetables with cold water after blanching, to stop the process.

NOTE!

• Vegetables produce gas during storage and should be stored frozen after blanching.
• Place the blanched vegetables in the freezer for 1-2 hours and then separate them into appropriate portions.
  • Vacuum pack the vegetables in portions and place them in the freezer again.

IMPORTANT! Never vacuum pack fresh mushrooms, onions or garlic - risk of growth of anaerobic bacteria.

Powder

Powdered foods such as flour should be vacuum packed by placing the entire package in a vacuum bag. Otherwise, the powder can be drawn up into the appliance and cause damage.

Liquid

Soups and other liquid foods must be frozen solid in a suitable container prior to vacuum packing. Take out the frozen liquid from the container and vacuum pack using a suitable vacuum bag. The frozen food can be stacked in the freezer. When cooking, cut off one corner of the bag and heat in a microwave or let the entire vacuum bag simmer in water at most 75^ C.
