Note:
The designated vacuum hose may not fit to the lid of vacuum containers being sold
on the market but not recommended by the manufacturer. Before operation, check
whether your container is suited for usage with the appliance.
Note:
To prevent germs from getting into your food, it is good advice to sterilize the con-
tainer and lid before filling in food. For this, you may rinse the container using hot
water (at least 80°C). However, ensure that the container will tolerate the high
temperature. After sterilization, do not wipe the container but leave it dry naturally
on a clean surface. When wiping with a cloth, germs could get onto the surfaces
of the container again.
Ensure that the container and container lid are undamaged, airtight and completely
clean and dry.
Fill your food into the container, leaving at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space bet-
ween your food and the rim of the container. Ensure keeping the rim of the container
and container lid clean and dry. Close the container with the container lid.
Place the appliance onto a suitable surface. Connect the appropriate power cord to
the corresponding power socket at the rear of the appliance (see: ‘Using an External
Power Supply’). Insert the power plug into the power outlet. The LCD display illumi-
nates. Press the SCALE button to switch off the scale.
Open the lid of the appliance. Push one end of the vacuum hose onto the vacuum
outlet of the appliance. Connect the other end to the vacuum port of the container
lid. Press the vacuum hose down firmly to ensure a tight fit. With a manually adjusta-
ble pressure valve at the container lid, ensure that the valve is in the open position.
Otherwise, the appliance cannot vacuum the container.
Press the VAC/MARINATE button at the side of the appliance shortly to switch on the
appliance. The appliance will operate the vacuum pump until the pre-programmed
low pressure is reached. While vacuuming the container, the indicator on the lid will
flash. Thereafter the appliance will shut off automatically. The container will be sealed
via the pressure valve of the container.
Note:
You may terminate the process at any time by simply pressing the STOP button on the
container lid.
WARNING:
After operation, the interior of the container is under low pressure
(vacuum). Even little damages of the container or improper treatment may cause
