Getting the Appliance Ready for Use
WARNING: Do not let young children play with the appliance or any part of it or the
foils/bags.
1.Unpack the appliance and remove all promotional materials and packaging. DO NOT
remove any warning labels or the model label. Ensure that there are no foreign objects (e.g.
packaging) in the interior of the appliance. Pay attention that the foam rubber seals (in the
base and lid of the appliance) as well as the sealing band and sealing gasket are level and
clean. Otherwise, the appliance cannot generate a vacuum and/ or close the bags air-tight.
2.The power cord is placed in a chamber in the base plate of the appliance. Unwind the
power cord and insert it in the cable guide at the rear of the base plate.
3.Place the appliance on a convenient and dry surface. (See: ‘Important Safeguards’).
Ensure to have enough space in front of the appliance to lay down the bags.
4.Connect the appliance directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective
conductor (earth/ground; 240 V, 60 Hz, AC, rated for at least 8 A). The appliance is now
ready for use.
Using the Foil Cutter
At the back of the appliance a foil cutter is mounted.
You should prefer to use this accessory for easily
getting an even and neat cut. Frayed and lopsided,
crooked edges could avoid the generation of vacuum
and interfere with the sealing process.
1.Open the cutter bar. For this, push the black handles
at both sides of the cutter bar to the rear of the
appliance.
2.Insert the foil/bag between cutter bar and the base of
the appliance. Then press the cutter bar in place
again, until it firmly engages audibly.
3.Push the slider of the cutting bar to the opposite end
of the cutter bar.
4.Pull the bag/foil out from under the cutter bar.
