MANUALLY CONTROLLING THE VACUUM PUMP
Via the “Pulse” button, you get the complete control on the working method of the appli-
ance (see: ‘Properties of Your New Design Vacuum Sealer Basic / Pulse Function’).
CAUTION
–
to avoid overloading the vacuum pump:
Do not operate the
vacuum pump continuously for more than 30 seconds. When the working noise of
the vacuum pump changes audibly, the maximum pressure reduction is reached.
It is useless and will reduce the lifetime of the vacuum pump, if you let the vacuum
pump operate any further.
CAUTION
–
When any liquid or powder is sucked in, immediately release
the “Pulse” button to avoid damage to the vacuum pump.
When evacuating a
container, it may be impossible to get any material from the container out of the vacu-
um hose. When sealing a bag, it is unlikely that this seal is going to get air-tightly.
IMPORTANT -
When filling your bags and containers, always ensure that the
upper rim of your bags/containers is kept clean and dry. Particles and moisture in
the sealing areas may cause leakage.
1. Prepare the bag or container and the appliance for operation as described in
the sections above. Ensure that the drip tray is completely empty and the vacuum
gaskets are clean and dry. For vacuumizing a bag, push the upper rim of the
bag onto the heating bar and vacuum gasket. See: ‘Vacuum Sealing a Bag’ or
‘Evacuating a Container’.
2. Close the lid of the appliance firmly and ensure to engage the lid on the base
with a click at each side. This is required even for evacuating containers.
3. For operating the vacuum pump, hold the “Pulse” button pressed. Release the
“Pulse” button for stopping operation. The low pressure already reached will be
kept in the vacuum system. If required, repeat this procedure several times, or
let the vacuum pump operate continuously (max. 30 seconds), until the desired
low pressure is reached.
NOTE
If required, press on the lid of the appliance (sealing bags) or container for get-
ting the vacuum system as leak-free as possible. At the latest, when the working
noise of the vacuum pump changes audibly, seal your bag or, if required, close
the container valve.
IMPORTANT -
After sealing a bag, the heating bar will be hot. Do not touch the
sealing bar with your skin or heat-sensitive objects.
IMPORTANT -
Even when evacuating containers, the lid of the appliance must be
closed and engaged for getting the vacuum system air-tight. When the vacuum system
is leaking and/or the amout of air to be sucked out is really large (e.g. large contai-
ner with only some small items) the pressure control may be triggerd and the vacuum
pump will stop operation after approx. 10 seconds. After approx. 30 seconds of
operation, the vacuum pump may stop automatically to avoid overheating.
3. Ensure that the drip tray is completely empty. Then close the lid of the appliance
and, at both sides, press the lid to the base until it engages firmly with a click.
4. Connect the vacuum hose to the pressure valve of your container. Ensure that the
vacuum hose is connected firmly and air-tightly. With a manually operated pres-
sure valve at the container lid, ensure that the valve is in the “Open” position (see:
‘Properties of Your New Design Vacuum Sealer Basic / Vacuum Containers’).
5. While pressing the container lid down for getting a better seal, touch the “Canister”
button for starting the evacuation. The “Canister” button illuminates. The vacuum
pump will be working until the pre-defined low pressure is reached. The “Canister”
button gets dark again.
6. When the pressure contol stops the vacuum pump prematurely, it may be possi-
ble to evacuate the container nevertheless. Touch the “Canister” button again for
reducing the pressure furthermore. Additionally, you may use the “Pulse” function
(see: ‘Manually Controlling the Vacuum Pump’).
NOTE
You may stop the vacuum pump manually any time you like via pressing the “Seal
Only” button. The low pressure already reached will be kept within the system.
Alternatively, when using containers with a manually operated valve, you may
stop the evacuation simply by shutting the valve at the lid of the container. In
this case, the appliance stops operation automatically.
7.
After Evacuation:
With a manually operated valve at the container lid, close
the valve. Other types of valves (check valves) close automatically. Press both
release buttons for ventilating the vacuum chamber and vacuum hose. Then,
remove the vacuum hose from the container. Check the lid of the container: After
evacuation, it is impossible to lift it.
8. If you wish to evacuate another container, wait approx. 20 seconds before
operating the appliance again. You may use this time for preparing the next
container (see step 2).
9.
After Usage:
Unplug the power cord from the mains power supply. Remove the
vacuum hose from the appliance and
replace the protection plug.
Clean the
appliance (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).
