Preliminary instructions for use

The appliance can vacuum pack food in two different ways:

1. Vacuum packing using KitchenAid bags

Thanks to the high level of vacuum achievable, all the air inside the bag is removed. At the end of the vacuum cycle, the bag is sealed, making it airtight.

The cycle lasts around 2 minutes and 50 seconds in total.

WARNING

Only use KitchenAid brand bags for vacuum packing. Commercially available bags for food storage are not suitable for heat sealing and cannot guarantee a vacuum for a sufficient period of time.

Notes on KitchenAid vacuum bags

KitchenAid vacuum bags for vacuum packed storage of foodstuffs feature an external layer in nylon, which locks out oxygen and moisture, preserving the organoleptic properties of the food inside.

KitchenAid bags are suitable for packing non-delicate food products which are not easily crushed, such as meat, cold cuts, hard cheese, pulses, etc.

Do not pack hot food inside the bags: hot food can evaporate during the vacuum cycle, leading to a reduction in appliance performance.

The bags are available in two different sizes: 15x25 cm, 20x20 cm and 25x35 cm, 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 in traditional ovens or on conventional hobs, as they are not designed to withstand high temperatures (above 100 °C - 212 °F).

2. Vacuum packing using KitchenAid containers

This cycle is specifically designed for use with KitchenAid vacuum containers.

The cycle lasts approximately 1 minute.

IMPORTANT In this case too, use purpose-designed KitchenAid containers only.

Notes on KitchenAid vacuum containers

KitchenAid vacuum containers are useful for storing delicate foods which easily crushed, and for storing liquid foodstuffs.

To prevent the containers from being damaged or excessively deformed by the vacuum achieved with this cycle, the appliance automatically stops air extraction at the ideal vacuum level in order to guarantee optimum food storage.

7

IMPORTANT

KitchenAid vacuum containers are not suitable for microwave oven cooking.

KitchenAid vacuum containers are dishwasher safe: nonetheless, it is advisable to wash the lids by hand to prevent any damage to the spring mechanism of the stop valve.

When using KitchenAid containers, use the specific cycle only (cycle for containers/jars): the higher vacuum level achieved with the cycle for bags could result in damage to the container.

Storage of vacuum packed foods

Here are some important rules to follow for perfect results in the kitchen.

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, flavour, etc..).

Consequently, it is best to vacuum pack food which has been chilled at length in the refrigerator until its temperature reaches +4/+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 overfill 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.

• It is important to dry fruit and vegetables after washing in order to prevent stagnation of liquid inside bags or containers. Condensation could decrease the vacuum level once the bag has been sealed.

• To preserve fresh meat for a prolonged period of time, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

• As regards fish, first of all wash it thoroughly, scale it and remove the fins, dry it and then, as with meat, chill it properly before vacuum packing it.

• For mature cheeses, like parmigiano reggiano, pecorino, etc. no preparation is necessary, while for fresh

cheeses, wrap them in cling film or use a vacuum container to prevent them being squashed.

• For cold cuts in containers and in vacuum packed bags, no particular preparation is necessary.

Guideline storage times for vacuum packed food

Storage times given are for guidance only: storage time depends on a number of factors, including the original quality of the food stored, the storage temperature, the refrigeration time in the case of cooked foods, the vacuum level achieved and the quality of the vacuum bag used.

The storage table below refers to tests conducted on fresh produce stored at +4 °C (refrigerator).

The data in the following table was commissioned by Whirlpool Europe Srl and is based on specific tests conducted in the test laboratories of NEOTRON (a company operating in the field of chemical, biochemical, microbiological and sensory analysis for the food sector).

Preparing vacuum bags and containers

Using KitchenAid vacuum bags

1. Open the drawer fully (until it clicks).

2. Switch the machine on using the blue 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. Position the support grille in the machine compartment as shown, with the bag in the centre of the grille, again as shown in the figure; if necessary, angle the grille so that it slopes slightly, as this will prevent any food spillage during the vacuum cycle. For large items of food, it may be necessary to remove the grille in order to gain additional space inside the vacuum chamber.

6. Line up the dotted line on the bag with the sealing bar. Make sure the edges are positioned on the bar without any wrinkles or folds.

7. Close the lid and hold it down while at the same time selecting the desired bag cycle. Keep the lid pressed down for a few moments. In this way the lid will remain shut and tight to the seal for the duration of the cycle.

9

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.

IMPORTANT

For optimum management of bags and food contained in them, write the packing date and contents on the space provided above the seal.

IMPORTANT

If upon repeating the vacuum packing procedure the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.

WARNING

After completing the vacuum cycle and sealing the bag, return it immediately to the refrigerator or freezer.

Using KitchenAid vacuum containers

For liquid foods or delicate produce which is easily crushed, use the special KitchenAid vacuum containers.

Only ¾ fill the containers.

1. To prepare a vacuum container, place the food inside and fit the lid on the container.

2. Position the container inside the vacuum chamber, in the centre of the compartment located in the base.

3. Close the lid and at the same time select the vacuum container cycle, holding the machine's glass lid down for a few moments: in this way the lid will remain shut and tight to the seal for the duration of the cycle.

To open containers, turn the valve on the lid in the direction indicated by the arrow: this will let air back into the container and enable the lid to be removed with ease.

WARNING

On completion of the vacuum cycle, which makes the containers airtight, return the food to the refrigerator within 30 minutes.

IMPORTANT

KitchenAid vacuum containers are not suitable for freezer use.

In addition, check that the seal of the glass lid is properly fitted and that the sealing bar is fully engaged on the two pins.

If, after the above checks, the vacuum packing machine still does not work, disconnect it from the power supply and call your KitchenAid Retailer or authorized After-sales Service.

Messages and Reminders

Pump oil replacement reminder (Oil cycle counter)

The vacuum packing machine features a high performance vacuum pump, lubricated by means of a circulating-oil lubricating system which employs a special lubricant designed for this purpose.

Over time, the oil naturally deteriorates due to machine usage.

Accordingly, to prevent a drop in machine performance, the oil must be changed every 2500 cycles. The machine indicates when it is time for an oil change.

IMPORTANT The oil change must be carried out by an authorized KitchenAid technician only.

When the machine is switched on, if an oil change is required all the led indicators on the control panel

flash for 3 seconds and an acoustic signal is emitted (long). This type of visual and acoustic reminder alerts the user to the need to change the pump oil.

All machine cycles remain selectable even in the presence of this alarm condition. The alarm will be reset as soon as the oil is changed.

Malfunction messages

The machine is constructed in compliance with all current relevant European norms and directives and also features safety systems designed to guarantee user safety.

In the event of an electrical malfunction, the machine enters alarm mode, indicated as follows:

• all the led indicators on the control panel flash;

• all controls are automatically deactivated.

In the event of this type of warning, switch the machine off and wait for approximately 15 minutes to allow cooling and automatic reset of the thermal overload cutouts.

Switch the machine back on. If the malfunction warning persists, unplug the machine and contact your

KitchenAid retailer or authorized After-sales service, providing the following information:

• the data on the data plate (on the left hand side of the drawer);

• date of purchase.

WARNING

Do not attempt to repair or alter the machine or any part of it in any way whatsoever: this may be dangerous and will render the guarantee null and void; employ a qualified, authorized technician only.

Insufficient vacuum warning

The machine is fitted with a device that gauges the vacuum level achieved inside the chamber, which is decisive for correct machine operation. If the minimum set vacuum level is not reached, after approximately

one minute, the cycle is automatically stopped.

13

The appliance indicates a malfunction with the led indicator of the button

, which flashes for 20 seconds, accompanied by an intermittent acoustic signal.

If the problem is not resolved, the alarm condition as described will persist.

Before calling your authorized KitchenAid Retailer or After-sales Service, check the lid is closed properly and that the seal is properly located in its seat.

If, after the above checks, the problem persists, contact your Retailer or the authorized After-sales Service, providing the data on the machine data plate (see "Malfunction messages").

Temporary power cut

If there is a power cut while the machine is operating, when the power is restored the vacuum chamber will be decompressed and the machine will revert to its initial state.

Wait approximately 20 seconds before starting a new cycle.

If there is a power cut during the initial switch-on phase, when the power supply is restored the machine will revert to the initial switch-on state.

Automatic pump oil dehumidification cycle

The automatic pump oil dehumidification cycle eliminates water vapour which builds up inside the pump during appliance use.

To activate the cycle, close the lid of the vacuum chamber as normal and, keeping it down, press the

button for the KitchenAid bag cycle for 5 seconds. The dehumidification cycle lasts 20 minutes.

With intensive machine use, run the cycle once a week in order to ensure optimum efficiency and performance over time.

The vacuum pump is the heart of the machine. To protect the inside surfaces of the pump against oxidation and subsequent blockage of the rotor caused by oxidized residue, which occurs when water vapour extracted together with the air condenses and remains at length inside the pump body, it is important to take the following measures:

1. Only vacuum pack produce that is cold, preferably at +3/+4 °C. The warmer the food being packed, the shorter the storage time possible and the more condensation is formed inside the pump, leading to oxidation and damage to the pump itself.

2. If the appliance is only used occasionally, before vacuum packing products, carry out at least 2-3 complete vacuum cycles for KitchenAid containers with the chamber empty. This enables the pump oil to reach optimum working temperature and eliminate any water vapour.
