How is it used?

	Carefully check the potatoes you put in the Zembag one by one and discard any damaged or rotten pieces; healthy potatoes could become infected by them. Remove the caraway sachet from its packaging, place it among the potatoes, and close the Zembag by pulling the drawstring. One bag is enough for 2.5 kg of potatoes.
	Check your potatoes regularly at least once a week for signs of spoilage. You can remove and add potatoes anytime during storage.
	If you notice signs of sprouting, add a new caraway sachet. You can gently hand wash the inner and outer layer of the Zembag at a low temperature (30°C), ideally by hand.

New or early-season potatoes do not belong in Zembag!

Remember, new or early-season potatoes are not meant to be stored, not even in Zembag! These potatoes do not have a developed skin and are therefore very susceptible to mold and rot. In addition, caraway oil damages them. By law, they must be labelled as 'new' and 'early-season'. Only mature late-season potatoes belong into Zembag.

However, Mini Zembag can be used for short-term storage of new potatoes.
