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 dierent ways:
1. Vacuum packing using KitchenAid bags
KitchenAid bags are suitable for packing non-delicate food products which are not easily crushed, such as
meat, cold cuts, hard cheese, pulses, etc.
The bags are available in three dierent sizes: 17x25cm, 20x30cm and 25x35cm, and can be purchased
from Ka after-sales service or the website www.KitchenAid.eu
Store the bags in a cool, dry place, away from sources of light and heat.
KitchenAid bags are disposable: after use, discard them, complying with local regulations on the disposal
of plastics.
KitchenAid bags are not suitable for cooking.
2. Vacuum packing using KitchenAid containers (can be purchased at After-sales Service)
KitchenAid vacuum containers are useful for storing delicate foods which easily crushed, and for storing
liquid foodstus.
KitchenAid vacuum containers are not suitable for cooking and to be stored in the freezer. For better
performances it's advisable to use the specic cycle for containers only.
Do not try to vacuum pack foods which are already old or nutritionally lacking: you cannot recover quality
which has already been lost.
Only vacuum pack fresh, quality produce.
• Food which has been kept at ambient temperature for an excessive period of time or which has only
just been cooked or prepared, loses its initial moisture and properties (colour, aroma, avour, etc..).
Consequently, it is best to vacuum pack food which has been chilled into a blast chiller at +3°C or at
length in the refrigerator until its temperature reaches +3/+6 °C (standard refrigerator temperature).
• When using vacuum bags for raw and cooked foods, remember to distribute food evenly inside the
bags to facilitate removal of air. In addition, do not overll the bags since this can interfere with sealing,
resulting in bags which are not airtight. In this case the vacuum would not last: repeat the procedure
with a new bag and check the seal has no openings or damage.
• Fill the bags 2/3 full at most with the food to be packed if dry or not too moist. Fill the bags 1/3 full at
most with moist or liquid food..
