Using KitchenAid vacuum bags
1. Open the drawer fully (until it clicks).
2. Press any key to exit the energy saving state.
3. Select the size of KitchenAid bag best suited to
the dimensions of the food (20x30 or 25x35).
4. Open the lid, making sure the vacuum chamber
is dry. When placing food in the bag, take care
not to get the bag dirty or wet next to the
opening, as this could result in an ineective
seal.
5. Place the bag, centred on the sealing bar (A), in a
way that the open edge projects by about 2 cm
with respect to the bar itself.
6. Make sure the edges are positioned on the bar
without any wrinkles or folds.
7. Close the lid and hold it down while at the
same time selecting the bag cycle. Keep the lid
pressed down for a few moments. In this way
the lid will remain shut and tight to the seal for
the duration of the cycle.
A perfect seal is essential in order to maintain
the vacuum conditions in the bag. This can be
identied by a clearly visible seal with no sign of
any burns.
Moreover, check the eectiveness of the seal: after
sealing, it must not be possible to pull the edges
of the bag apart. If this is not the case, transfer
the food into another bag and repeat the vacuum
packing procedure.
For optimum management of bags and food
contained in them, write the packing date and
contents on the space provided above the seal and
return it to the refrigerator or freezer.
