rials, but DO NOT remove the warning labels or model label. Especially ensure that

OPERATION
WARNING—RISK OF SUFFOCATION!
DO NOT let young children play with
the packaging material (foils and bags). Always ensure that the appliance and all its
parts and accessories are out of reach of young children! Risk of Implosion! Vacu-
umed containers must always be handled with special care.
DO NOT vacuum containers or bags containing any inflammable substances (e.g.
alcoholic drinks, organic solvents)! Under low pressure, large amounts of inflamma-
ble liquids will vaporize causing high risk of explosion and fire and damage to the
appliance.
USING AN EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
Only the scale can be operated on batteries (see: ‘Using the Scale / Battery Ope-
ration’). For sealing and vacuum packaging an external power supply is required. At
the back of the appliance, there are 2 power sockets: 220-240 V AC (household)
and 12 V DC (on-board power supply of most motor cars).
CAUTION:
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, ensure that the vol-
tage rating of your power supply corresponds to the requirements of the appliance.
The on-board power supply of some trucks is operated on 24 V. Do not connect the
appliance to a 24 V on-board power supply.
If in doubt, refer to the operating instruc-
tions of the vehicle.
Additionally, do not connect the appliance to an on-board power
supply, while the engine is running.
Only use the power cords recommended by the manufacturer for connecting the
appliance to the power supply.
