Preliminary instructions for use Before starting up the machine, clean the vacuum chamber thoroughly with a soft, damp cloth. Repeat several times, rinsing the cloth in clean water each time. Do not use harsh detergents, steel scourers, scrapers or any abrasive, acidic or aggressive substances which could damage the surfaces of the vacuum chamber irreparably. The appliance can vacuum pack food in two different ways: 1.
Preparing vacuum bags and containers Using KitchenAid vacuum bags 1. Open the drawer fully (until it clicks). 2. Switch the machine on using the switch on the front right hand side. 3. Select the size of KitchenAid bag best suited to the dimensions of the food (15x25 or 20x20). 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 ineffective seal. 5.
A perfect seal is essential in order to maintain the vacuum conditions in the bag. This can be identified by a clearly visible seal with no sign of any burns. Always check that the seal is on top of or parallel to the dotted line on the KitchenAid bag. Moreover, check the effectiveness 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.
Machine operation indications Switching On (pulling the drawer out to working position) Always pull the drawer out to its full extension so that the glass lid can open fully.
