• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Always
immediately unplug the appliance after use and before cleaning. Always grasp the plug
when disconnecting the appliance from the power outlet
• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Do
not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Keep the cable away
from any hot surfaces (e.g. sealing band of the appliance). Never pull, rip, bend, clamp,
squish or knot the power cord. Attend to nobody getting caught in
loops of the power cord or pulling the appliance off the work space. When pulling the plug
always catch hold of the enclosure of the plug. Do not attempt to repair the power cord!
• Do not place or immerse the appliance or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not
pour or drip any liquids on the appliance or power cord. When liquids are spilled on the
appliance, immediately unplug the appliance and dry it to avoid risk of electric shock or fire
(see ´Care and cleaning`). Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are on or
in the electrical section of the appliance.
• The appliance is not intended for continuous operation. Please wait approximately
30 seconds with the lid open (approximately 2 minutes with the lid closed) after each
sealing process before switching on again. For additional safety the appliance is fitted with
a thermal cut out. In the event of overheating (possible with room temperature of
35 °C or more, or overvoltage of the power supply) the appliance will automatically shut
down to prevent damage. In this case, unplug and let the appliance cool down for
approximately 20 minutes before operating the appliance again.
Hot Surfaces – Risks of Burns
The
Vacuum Sealer VSR230
is designed for vacuum packing food and other items. The
sealing band and vacuum pump are electrically driven. The sealing band gets hot during
operation.
• The sealing band will be still hot, even a short time after sealing. This holds espe- cially
after repeated operation. The heating starts as soon as the sealing indicator is illuminated.
Only use the designated foils and bags with the appliance. Do not place any foreign
substances (such as papers, unsuitable plastics, textiles or the like) on the sealing
surfaces, to avoid risk of fire and damage to the appliance.
• The appliance needs some time to cool down after each sealing procedure: approxima-
tely 30 seconds with the lid open; approximately 2 minutes with the lid closed. Do not touch
the hot sealing band with any parts of your body or heat-sensitive items shortly after
operation.
• Always unplug the appliance and let the sealing band cool down before cleaning the
appliance.
