In the vacuuming drawer, you can vacuum food in
suitable bags and containers. This chapter provides you
with information about the assembly and the basic
functions of your appliance.
How does a vacuuming drawer work?
During the vacuuming process, air is pumped out of the
vacuuming chamber and the bag. This produces a high
vacuum in the chamber. The higher the vacuuming
level, the less air remains in the chamber and the bag,
and the higher the pressure difference to the
environment.
If the selected vacuuming level has been reached, the
sealing bar is pressed against the silicone column on
the glass lid. During this, the bag is heat-sealed. After a
short cooling time, air flows back into the chamber,
creating a loud noise. During this process, the bag
suddenly contracts and encloses the food. The drawer's
glass lid then opens.
Different degrees of vacuum can be created with
vacuuming levels 1to 3. The degrees that are reached
here vary depending on the use case: When vacuuming
in the container, the degrees of vacuum are lower and
therefore better suited for the particular food. When the
external vacuuming adaptor is attached, the vacuuming
drawer automatically detects which mode has just been
activated.

If you do not make any changes, the appliance
automatically switches off after 10minutes.
Vacuuming in the bag
Vacuum the food in a suitable vacuuming bag in order
to preserve the food for longer, to marinate it or to
prepare it for sous-vide cooking.
Suitable vacuuming bag
Use the original vacuuming bags that are enclosed with
the appliance or can be ordered as accessories. These
bags are suitable for a temperature range of -40 °C –
100 °C. This means that they can be used for storing
food at low temperatures and also for cooking the
vacuum-sealed food that is contained in the bags. The
optimum heat-sealing time for this bag is level 2. The
bags are suitable for use in the microwave. Pierce the
bag before you heat it up in the microwave.
Only use bags that are suitable for vacuuming food.
Commercially available products are different when it
comes to the quality of the food, temperature
resistance, material and surface. Ensure that the bag is
used only for the purpose for which it is intended.
The heat-sealing time for the vacuuming bag always
depends on the material from which it is made. In most
cases, heat-sealing level 1is sufficient for heat-sealing
thin bags. Vacuuming bags that are made from a
thicker material require a longer heat-sealing time at
heat-sealing level 2or higher.
The length of the heat-sealing column limits the size of
the vacuuming bag that can be used. You should
therefore only use bags with a maximum width of
240 mm.
Filling the bag
Where possible, position the items of food in the
vacuum-sealing bag next to each other and not on top
of each other.
To ensure that the sealing seam is perfect, it is
important that the edge of the bag is clean and dry. To
ensure that the seam is perfect during the heat-sealing
process, it is important that there is no food residue
around the seam on the edge of the bag. Before you fill
the bag, you should therefore fold over its edge by
approx. 3 cm. Unfold the edge again once the bag has
been filled.
External vacuum-sealing adapter
The adapter is attached to the air out-
let on the vacuum-sealing drawer in
order to vacuum-seal vacuum-sealing
containers.
Vacuum-sealing hose
The vacuum-sealing hose connects
the external vacuum-sealing adapter to
the vacuum-sealing container.
