Helpful hints
• Do not overfull the bags, leave enough length at the opening of the bag so that it can be placed
in the vacuum chamber easily.
•
Ensure that the opening the bag is not wet. A wet bag may be difficult to melt and seal tightly.
• Vacuum seal cannot completely replace the refrigeration and freeze, perishable foods still need
to be refrigerated or frozen.
•
Make the opening of plastic bags clean and flat, no foreign objects or folds allowed, otherwise it
will cause difficulty or leak during seal.
•
To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently stretch bag flat while
inserting into the vacuum chamber and hold it until the pump begins to work.
• When you are vacuum sealing items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, etc.), protect the bag from
punctures by wrapping item in soft cushioning material, such as tissue paper, you may need a
canister or container instead of a bag.
• When using accessories, remember to leave 2,5cm of space at top of canister or container.
• Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for the best results.
• Intervals for 40 seconds after seal or vacuum is recommended.
• If you are unsure whether your bag was sealed properly, just reseal the bag.
• For best results, use Champion bags.
Care & Cleaning
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Don’t immerse the appliance in water on other liquid for cleaning.
3. Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean, because it is easy to scratch the surface of the applian-
ce.
4. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap if necessary.
5. To clean the vacuum chamber, wipe away any food or liquid with a tissue paper.
6. Dry thoroughly before using again.
Trouble Shooting
Nothing happens when you try to vacuum package:
1.
Check if the power cord is tightly plugged into electrical outlet.
2.
Check if the power cord is damaged.
3.
Check if electrical outlet is working by plugging in another appliance.
4.
Make sure the latches are in the locked position.
5.
Make sure bag is placed correctly inside vacuum chamber.
6.
Allow the appliance to cool for 40 seconds before using it again
Note
: To prevent overheating of the appliance, allow the appliance to cool for 40 seconds before
using it again, and keep the cover open.
Air is still in the bag after vacuum:
1.
Make sure the opening of the bag is placed entirely inside vacuum chamber.
2.
Examine the bag if it leaks. Seal bag with air, then immerse it in water and apply pressure,
bubbles indicate a leak, use a new bag if bubbles appear.
3.
Check the seal of the bag. A wrinkle in the bag along the seal may cause leakage and allow
air to re-enter, just cut bag and reseal.
4.
Do not attempt to make your own side seams for the bag, the bags are manufactured with
special side seams, which are sealed all the way to the outer edge. Making your own side
seams may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter.
