4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Adjustment
Before using it for the first time, make sure
that the vacuum chamber and the appliance
parts which come into contact with the food
are clean. Follow the cleaning instructions
in the
"5. Maintenance and Cleaning"
section.
How to dismantle the vacuum chamber
1. Move the chamber extraction lever
(L)
as shown in
Fig. 2
. Raise the left side of
the vacuum chamber and pull it all out
(Figure 3)
.
2. To refit the vacuum chamber
(I)
, fit the
right side into the right side of the
coupling
(Figure 4)
. Make sure that the
suction nozzle
(a)
fits into the
corresponding hole in the chamber and
that the chamber’s positioning tab
(b)
is
inserted into its corresponding groove.
3. Press the left side into the coupling until
the lever

Vacuum packing
1. Put the appliance in a dry place. Make
sure that the work area in front of the
appliance is obstacle free and is wide
enough for the food bags. Plug it in and
press the
"ON/OFF"
switch
(K)
; the
green light will come on.
2. Make sure that the bag you want to use
is at least 8 cm (3.1 in.) longer than the
food. If you want to reuse the bag, you
must take into account that you will need
2 cm more (0.8 in.) each time you want
to reuse it.
3. Raise the cover
(F)
and place the food
inside the bag, taking care not to cause
wrinkles or tension on the surface.
Remove the liquids or the residue from
the food inside the bag which is about to
be sealed. Put the bag with its contents in
front of the machine positioning it inside
the vacuum chamber
(I) (Figure 6)
.
4. Lower the cover
(F)
completely and
press it down for a few seconds
(Figure
