Programmes, Functions and Usage Details

Vacuum in Bag Function

The vacuum in bag function guarantees the creation of vacuum in bags with three selectable levels. It is also possible to set the 0 level to seal the bag without creating vacuum. Setting the highest vacuum level in bag or container reaches a 99,9% vacuum. The vacuum sensor guarantees achievement of the maximum vacuum connected to the level set; if this value is not reached, the bag is not sealed.

Vacuum in Container Function

The vacuum in container function guarantees the creation of vacuum in glass or plastic containers, with three selectable vacuum levels. Only certified containers suitable for vacuum and able to resist to a 99,9% vacuum should be used.

Chef Function

The Chef function alternates compression and decompression cycles and speeds up some operations, such as marinade or infusion, that otherwise would require a lot of time.

Sealing Levels and Welding

The machine can be set at three different sealing levels. Setting the maximum level makes it possible to seal more bags at the same time with a single cycle. The double-phase welding guarantees sealing even for dirty and oily bags.

Drawer Stabilisation Device

The stabilisation device maintains the drawer open when used, helping to avoid closing it accidentally.

Preservation vacuum bags endure temperatures from −25°C to 70°C (for 2 hours) or 100°C (for 15 minutes). They are suitable for pantry, refrigerator and freezer storage, and cannot be used for vacuum cooking.
