General Hints For The Used Food; Preparing The Polybags - Westfalia VPS518 Bedienungsanleitung

General Hints for the used Food

Preferably use fresh fruit or vegetables. First, wash fruit/vegetables
thoroughly and cut out blemishes.
Fruit and raw vegetables should be peeled before vacuuming. This will
extend their shelf lives.
Do not re-freeze food that has been thawed before.
Allow freezed food to thaw in the refrigerator and do not leave at room
temperature.
If you intent to freeze food after sealing, leave enough space in the bag so
the food can expand while freezing.
Please note that airtight sealed nuts, chips and cerealies will last longer if
they are stored in a dark and cool place.
Do not vacuum-seal powdery food, liquids or food containing grease and
moisture. Powder/liquid could be drawn into the unit.
Before vacuum-sealing, remove the air inside the bag by straightening the
bag as far as possible, so the suction pump will not work needlessly for
long time.
Do not vacuum-seal spiky or sharp-edged objects or foods with spiky
bony/bones and spiky edges.

Preparing the Polybags

1. Keep the polybags, your hands and kitchen utensils as well as the food
clean at all times.
2. Unwind the cord from the cord storage (19) on the bottom of the unit and
pull the cord through the cord guide. Insert the power plug into a wall
socket.
3. Place the polybag vacuum sealer on a solid and level surface.
4. Open the compartment lid (2) for the bag
roll by lifting up the lid with your thumbs.
Insert the bag roll into the compartment
and make sure to place it centrally.
5. Slide the bag cutter (1) up to the end
either to the left or to the right. Pull out the
desired length of the bag roll.
