Précis d’emploi

V2860-I

1.Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for the heat process of canning. Perishables still need to be refrigerated or frozen.

2.For best results, use FoodSaver® Bags and Canisters.

3.During the vacuum packaging process, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently pulled into Vacuum Channel (J), clogging the pump and damaging your appliance. To prevent this, follow these tips:

a.For moist and juicy foods such as raw meats: Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. You can also place a folded paper towel inside top of bag, but below seal area, before vacuum packaging.

b.For soups, sauces and liquids: Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. Or, use a canister in refrigerator.

c.For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid overfilling bags or use a canister. You can also place a coffee filter or paper towel inside before vacuum packaging.

d.If your appliance features a Drip Tray (I), empty after each use.

4.To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 7.5 cm of bag material between bag contents and top of bag. Then leave at least one additional 2.5 cm of bag material for each time you plan to reuse bag.

5.Do not create your own side seams for a FoodSaver® Bag. These bags are manufactured with a special side seam, which is sealed all the way to the outer edge.

6.To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat along Sealing Strip (L) before you close lid.

7.If you are unsure your bag was sealed properly, simply reseal bag about 0.5 cm above first seal.

8.When you are vacuum packaging items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.), protect bag from punctures by wrapping item in soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel.

9.When using accessories, remember to leave 2.5 cm of space at top of canister or container, and make sure to lock Latch (E) before vacuuming.

Unlock the Latch when finished.

10.Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum packaging for best results. See pages 4-5 of FoodSaver® Reference Guide for more information.

11.If appliance does not function, check to make sure the Latch (E) is in the locked position.

12.If storing appliance horizontally, make sure

the Latch (E) is in the unlocked position. If storing appliance vertically, lock the Latch halfway, to the store position. Make sure Drip Tray (I) has been emptied before storing vertically.

13.CAUTION: THIS SEALER IS NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE. IF SEALING MORE THAN 30 BAGS OR CANISTERS IN A ROW, WAIT AT LEAST 25 MINUTES BEFORE CONTINUING TO USE YOUR VACUUM FOOD SEALER.
