USE
Connect the appliance to the mains. Proceed according to instructions in Fig. 2:
1. Press A2 button and open the lid A1 .
2. Put foil/bag into the sealer with the open part ahead (into the exhaustion section). If you
make a bag from a bag roll (both ends are unsealed), first put the bag in the sealer
so that its end does not reach the vacuuming area, and then seal it! Then seal/
vacuum the other end (after the bag is fulfilled) in the standard manner (Fig. 3).
3. Close the lid A1 and push the lid edges down to lock it (a click will be heard).
4. Press the button with the required function ( B2 or B4 ). The function activity is indicated
by indicator lights B3 and B5 .
5. Once the indicator light B3 goes off (for both functions), the sealing operation is
completed. You may open the lid A1 (first press A2 button) and remove the foil/bag.
Notes
– You may terminate the sealer operation at any time by pressing B1 button.
– If sealing function is activated, air is exhausted for a short time.
Notice
Proper functionality of the appliance is assured only when using the foils supplied by the
manufacturer (ETA176200010) . Request these foils at your retailer. Do not use plastic
bags. At the same time you can re-weld many foods in their original packaging (eg bags of
potato chips).
HINTS AND TIPS.
– Do not put too much stuff inside the bag: leave enough empty length in the open end of
the bag so that the bag can be placed on the vacuuming plate more positively;
– Do not leave too much air inside the bag. Press the bag to allow extra air to escape from
the bag before vacuuming it. Too much air inside the bag increases the vacuum pump
loading and may cause the motor insufficient power to draw away all the air inside the bag!
– Do not vacuum packaging objects with sharp points like fish bones and hard shells!
Sharp points may penetrate and tear the bag!
– Suggest to vacuum seal one bag within 1 minute, to let the appliance resume enough.
– Boil-in-bag foods retain their flavor, the saucepan remains cleaner, cooking odors are
reduced, and it saves energy.
– To achieve an efficient seal, ensure that the area to be sealed is completely clean and
dry.
– Also ensure that there are no creases or wrinkles in the bag which would prevent
a perfect seal.
– Allow approximately 11/2’’ margin between the food and seal to allow for expansion when
freezing and cooking.
– Do not use the vacuum sealer on cling film, as the heat will melt this type of film.
– The while stripe on the bag is for labeling.
– When packing boiling foods, allow them to cool for 5 minutes before packing.
– Remember that seasonings and flavorings alter or intensify during storage, so reduce the
amount of salt, pepper and spices in dishes to be frozen.
