Description 2.3 Vacuum drawer 2.4 Accessories provided The drawer consists of an internal vacuum chamber in which the vacuum is created. The pump completely eliminates the air from the outside and the inside of the bag. The bag is then hermetically sealed by the sealing bar with a double heat seal. Vacuum sealing helps to protect food from being contaminated by dust and microbes. The vacuum system completely eliminates air, especially oxygen, which causes the oxidation of food.
Description Setting the vacuum level for bags Setting Suitable for • Closing the bag Sealing only* • Packing delicate products • Repackaging products such as crisps, biscuits, bread. • Packing delicate fruit and vegetables such as salad, strawberries and other Minimum vacuum berries. • Packing delicate products such as mousse, whipped cream. • Packing soft cheeses.
Description Setting the vacuum level for containers Setting Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 50 Suitable for • Containers with a “twistoff” lid containing: marmalades, jams, sauces and preserves (in oil, in vinegar), mousse, whipped cream • LifeBox containers, professional use containers and containers with a “twist-off” lid, containing: marmalades, jams, sauces and preserves (in oil, in vinegar), creams and vegetables.
Use 3.1 Warnings Improper use Risk of personal injury • Do not touch the sealing bar or the seal immediately after sealing. • Only use certified vacuum seal bags and containers. • Pack cold foods, preferably chilled to 3°C and that have been washed, cleaned and dried beforehand. • Never vacuum pack live food, e.g. molluscs. • Do not allow children to get near to the drawer when it is in use. Improper use Risk of damage to the appliance • Keep the drawer fully open when in operation.
Use 3.2 First use 3.3 Using the accessories 1. Remove the adhesive tape and the labels (apart from the technical data plate) from the appliance. 2. Clean the internal chamber and the glass lid using a soft damp cloth (see “4 Cleaning and maintenance”). Vacuum seal or sous-vide cooking bags When first switched on, the settings of the appliance will be as follows: • Maximum vacuum level for bags • Medium sealing level.
Use Vacuum containers • Only use vacuum containers that can withstand the high vacuum (99.9%). • For best results, place cold foods in the containers. Maximum filling limits 1/3 Solid foods Freeze liquid foods to allow the vacuum seal bag to be filled to 2/ 3 of its capacity. • If you wish to put several foods in a single vacuum seal bag, arrange them neatly one beside another. Vacuum seal cold foods (3°C), which have been cleaned, washed and dried beforehand.
Use 3.4 Using vacuum seal bags Improper use Risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance • Do not strike or damage the glass lid in any way: it could implode if damaged. • Do not use the glass lid as a support on which to place things or as a work surface. • Make sure that the buttons on the control panel are not dirty. If they are, they may not function or may activate unwanted functions. 1.
Use 6. Press the ON/OFF button on the control panel. 7. Press the bag vacuum level selection / set button . 8. Press the button several times to select the required vacuum level, see “Setting the vacuum level for bags”. 9. Press the bag sealing level selection button . • The higher the sealing level, the longer the sealing process will take. • Use vacuum level 2 or 3 for preserving foods and sous-vide cooking. 10.
Use 3.5 How to create vacuum in external containers Improper use Risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance • Only use containers that can withstand the high vacuum (99.9%). 1. Use a vacuum sealing container. 2. Place the product in the container. 3. Close the lid if you are vacuum sealing a glass container. 4. Leave the lid open if you are using LifeBox type containers with a valve and suction tube. 56 5.
Use Only start a new vacuum sealing cycle when the internal chamber and the sealing bar are clean and dry. Eliminate any traces of dirt. It is also possible to create a vacuum in containers that do not require an adapter to be used (e.g. containers for jams, preserves in oil, etc.). Set the level of vacuum required for containers and make sure that you close the lid before starting the cycle. After use 1. Switch off the vacuum drawer by pressing the ON/OFF button. 2.
Use Refrigerator storage at +3-5°C 3.7 Sous-vide cooking Storing vacuum-sealed products in a refrigerator is recommended when preparing dishes, which are vacuum-sealed to be eaten in small amounts and at different times. Sous-vide cooking consists of sealing a raw, pre-cooked or partially cooked product in a special bag and cooking it by immersing it in water or using a steam oven. The temperature of the water must be kept constant and below boiling point.
Useful tips: 3.8 Chef Cycle • Do not leave the food to be cooked at room temperature for too long as the bag may inflate during cooking and lose all the advantages of vacuum sealing it. • Make sure that you chill the food as quickly as possible using water, ice or a blast chiller. • Keep vacuum-sealed products (cooked and chilled) in a refrigerator and at a constant temperature of no higher than 3°C. The Chef cycle uses alternate compression and decompression cycles.
Use Use: 1. Use a bag suitable for the quantity of food. • For solid, semi-solid or highmoisture content foods, fill the bag so that it is no more than of 2/3 full. • For liquid foods, fill the bag so that it is no more than 1/3 full. • Before placing the product in the bag, fold the top over so that the outside remains clean. 2. Open the lid (1) and make sure that the internal chamber (2) is dry. 3.
Use • The higher the sealing level, the longer the sealing process will take. • Use level 2 or 3 for preserving foods and sous-vide cooking. 9. Press the button several times to select the required sealing level, see “Setting the bag sealing level”. 10. Press the START/STOP button to start the function and then gently press the glass lid to start the vacuum. • The appliance is working normally if the bag inflates and bubbles form in liquids. • The sealing bar carries out a double heat-sealing cycle. 11.
Use After use 1. Switch off the vacuum drawer by pressing the ON/OFF button. 2. Clean and dry the drawer as indicated in the “4 Cleaning and maintenance” section. 3. Close the glass lid when the internal chamber is completely dry. 4. Close the vacuum drawer.
Cleaning and maintenance 4.1 Warnings Improper use Risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance • Switch off the appliance before cleaning. • Wait until the sealing bar has cooled down completely before cleaning. • Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance. • To avoid damage, do not use water to clean the internal chamber. • Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts made of steel or that have a metallic surface finish (e.g. anodised, nickel- or chromium-plated).
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning the sealing bar 1. Wait for the sealing bar to cool down. 2. Pull the bar upwards to remove it. 3. Wipe with a soft cloth, dampened with hot water. 4. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth. Cleaning the vacuum adapter for external containers 1. Clean with warm water and washing up liquid. 2. Rinse thoroughly. 3. Dry the adapter thoroughly with a clean cloth and put it away. 4.
4.4 What to do if... The vacuum drawer does not open: • The “Push-pull” system of the guides has jammed. • The spiral power cable is jammed. The vacuum drawer does not switch on: • Make sure that the plug is correctly inserted in the socket. • Make sure that the power socket is working correctly. The vacuum drawer switches off: • Make sure that there is no power cut. Restore the power supply. • Possible electronics failure. Contact the technical assistance service.
Cleaning and maintenance The seal is not airtight: • The sealing level selected is unsuitable for the type of bag used. Repeat the cycle using a higher sealing level. • Too many consecutive sealing cycles. Wait at least 2 minutes between one cycle and the next in order to allow the sealing bar to cool down. • The bag is larger than the sealing bar. Use an adequately sized bag. • The edge of the bag is not positioned correctly. Position the edge of the bag at the centre and make sure that it has no creases.
Cleaning and maintenance The indicator light switches on and the indicator light of the ON/OFF button flashes: • Excessive number of cycles carried out, causing the oil in the pump to overheat. • Allow the vacuum drawer to cool down for at least 1 hour. The indicator light turns on and the appliance emits a beep: • Absolute vacuum sensor fault. Contact the technical assistance service. If the problem persists, or for other types of fault, contact your local technical support centre.
