Vacuum sealing with “Family” containers
Convenient multi-purpose containers, perfect for storage in pantries and refrigerators.
They are perfect for frequent use, e.g. for storing dry food, such as biscuits, our, coffee or rice.
Fill the container, leave at least 3 cm of space to the top edge and then put the lid on the
container’s rim. Put one end of the connection hose (12) into the hose port of the appliance (6)
and the other end into the lid of the “Family” container (g. N).
Press the ON button (1) and keep it pressed until the vacuum indicator (2) glows green.
Remove the connection hose from the lid and from the appliance as well.
For opening the container press the “PUSH” button.
Vacuum sealing of jars with metal lids (Leifheit-type)
Select a vacuuming cap tting to the size of the jar.
Fill the jar and leave at least 3 cm of space to the top edge.
Put one end of the connection hose (12) into the hose port of the appliance (6) and the other
end into the vacuuming cap (13). Put the vacuuming cap directly on the jar with the lid (14).
Then vertically press down the cap in order to ensure the cap’s correct tting on the lid (g. P).
Press the ON button (1) and keep it pressed until the vacuum indicator (2) glows green.
Keep the button pressed in order to achieve a tight tting. Remove the connection hose from
the cap and from the appliance as well. Undo the vacuuming cap from the jar.
Put the ring - which came with the jar – on and screw it tight (15) (g. P).
For opening a vacuum-sealed jar with metal lid you should use the specic lid opener
(observe that the inscriptions show to the top).
Place the lid opener as shown in g. Q. Use the lid opener carefully until the vacuum got
released completely. Then remove the metal lid. This provides that the lid can be used again.
Vacuum sealing with bottle caps
With the bottle cap you can reclose any open wine or beverage bottle with non-carbonated
contents. Vacuum sealing provides for a slowed down oxidation of the beverage and this is why
its quality and taste get preserved longer.
Put one end of the connection hose (12) into the hose port of the appliance (6) and the other
end into the bottle cap (16) (g. R). Press the bottle cap rmly into the bottle.
Press the ON button (1) and keep it pressed until the vacuum indicator (2) glows green.
At once remove the connection hose from the bottle’s lid.
For opening a vacuum-sealed bottle just slowly pull out the cap from the bottle.
You will hear the sound of air rushing back into the bottle.
Manual sealing - MAN SEAL button (4)
When you press this button and the lamp of the vacuum indicator (3) is glowing the sealing
process is done at once. This renders possible to shorten the vacuum sealing process when
sealing sensitive food, such as sponge cake, biscuits, etc. (g. L).
