Before Using For The First Time - WMF Lono Gebrauchsanweisung

Safety information for handling food
▪ Once perishable foods have been heated, defrosted or stored at room temperature, they must
be consumed immediately.
▪ Before you vacuum pack food, wash your hands thoroughly, as well as any objects and surfaces
that come into contact with food.
▪ Store perishable food in the refrigerator or freezer immediately after vacuum packing. Do not
leave out at room temperature.
▪ Store dry foods, such as nuts, coconut or grains, in a dark place once vacuum packed. This will
extend their shelf life.
▪ To prevent the fats in particularly fatty foods from turning rancid, they should not come into
contact with oxygen or warmth.
▪ Fruit and vegetables, such as apples, bananas, potatoes and root vegetables, that are peeled
before vacuum packing can be stored for longer.
▪ Some vegetables, such as broccoli, caulifl ower and cabbage, produce gasses. In order to seal
these foods and make them completely airtight, they must be briefl y blanched and then frozen
before vacuum packing.

Use
You can use the Lono vacuum packer to vacuum pack and seal various dry and moist foods in
sachets or fi lm. Generally speaking, foods in vacuum-sealed packaging stay fresh eight times
longer than when traditional storage methods are used. The fl avour is also entirely preserved.
Use the Lono vacuum packer to store cooked foods under an airtight seal. You can choose to store
individual portions or entire meals. Vacuum pack meat, fi sh, poultry, sea food, fruit and vegetables
for storage in the refrigerator or freezer.
You can use the enclosed vacuum tube to vacuum pack delicate foods, such as berries, in
containers designed specifi cally for this purpose.
Note:
For perfect results, we recommend that you use the following WMF vacuum sachets and fi lm rolls,
which have been optimally tailored to the appliance:
Item no. 04 1997 0041: WMF vacuum sachets 200 x 300 mm
Item no. 04 1998 0041: WMF vacuum fi lm rolls 300 x 6,000 mm
If you use vacuum sachets or fi lm rolls from another manufacturer, make sure that they do not
exceed the maximum width of 30 cm and maximum fi lm roll diameter of 62 mm. The vacuum
sachets and fi lm rolls must also be suitable for vacuum packing.
