• It blocks scent and preserves food´s distinct taste, colour, nutrient and freshness. It

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use damaged or unsuited containers for vacuum packing. Always handle
containers under vacuum with special care. This is crucial to avoid bursting. Do
not consume any food that has been in a damaged container, because splinters
could cause severe injuries.
• Only use the designated foils or bags with the appliance. Any other plastic bags
will melt on the sealing band. Leftover plastic on the sealing band damage the
sealing band and prevent the generation of vacuum.
• The appliance is not suited for continuous operation. Please wait after each vacu-
um procedure until the appliance has cooled down before starting again.
• When vacuum packing pay attention that no food particles, liquids, or grease
are in the sealing section of the plastic bag or container. The brim of the foil or
container must be smooth and clean. Otherwise no vacuum can be generated.
• For best results do not overfill the plastic bag or containers. Leave about 8 cm free
space (foils) or 3 cm (containers) above the food. Otherwise the appliance cannot
generate a vacuum or liquids or small parts of food can be sucked in (especially
if powdery or finely ground) and damage the vacuum pump. Always work with
special care, when vacuum packing runny food or beverages.
• Pre-freeze moist food before vacuum sealing (1 – 2 hours). This way no liquids can
get sucked into the appliance and the food will not get pressed.
• The lid must be properly closed after inserting the foil to make the appliance ready
for use. You will hear a clicking sound, when the lid snaps shut.
• Only vacuum pack edible foods that are not off and not over-stored. Only use
food that is really fresh! After packing, store foods as usual. The appliance cannot
reverse the process of deterioration, but can slow down the process of decay.
