WHAT YOU SHOULD GENERALLY KNOW
WHEN PROCESSING FOOD:
The following food safety instructions are based on scientific findings and experi-
ence and are important for your health and optimal storage of foods:
1. As soon as you thaw, or remove foods from the fridge, consume them immedi-
ately.
2. Canned or ready vacuum packed foods can be vacuum packed again after
opening. Follow the instructions, storing foods in a cool place once opened (not
at room temperature!) and treating vacuumed foods just as carefully as fresh
foods. Take note of the use by date printed on the original packaging.
3. Never defrost foods in warm water or with the help of other heat sources (f.e.
microwave), regardless of whether they are vacuum packed or not. Foods are
most gently defrosted in the fridge.
4. Do not consume highly perishable foods that have been stored for hours at room
temperature. This is especially dangerous if they are in a thick sauce, if they are
vacuum packed, or if they are kept in a low oxygen environment.
5. Distribute vacuum bags evenly in the freezer so that they freeze as quickly as
possible.

CLEANING AND CARE
To clean your vacuum-appliance, please proceed as follows:
1. Always first pull the plug out of the socket.
2. Never submerge the appliance in water or hold it under running water.
3. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, solvents or abrasive materials for cleaning
with appliance, these could damage the surfaces.
4. Wipe the appliance with mild cleaning agents and with a soft, damp cloth.
• NOTE: The vacuum chamber ≥ can be cleaned with a moist towel. Should
the lower seal have come into contact with food liquid, it can be removed and
cleaned in warm water. Afterwards, let it air dry completely and correctly reinsert
it all the way around.
5. Leave the appliance to completely air dry, before storing or using the appliance.
6. The appliance must not be oiled.
• NOTE: The lower seal around the vacuum chamber should be completely dry in
any case after you have removed it for thorough cleaning and want to reattach
it. It should be reattached at the exact same position to prevent air from getting
into the vacuum chamber.
POWER-CABLE STORAGE
If the appliance is not in use, the power cable should be rolled up and placed in
the cable compartment on the underside of the appliance. Never wrap the cord
around the appliance!
