OPERATING THE VACUUM SEALER
For sealing foils and bags, an electrically powered heating bar is used that will get
hot during operation. Avoid touching the heating bar shortly after operation. Do not
place any foreign objects on the heating bar. During operation do not place any
clothes, napkins, or other foreign objects on or under the appliance.
IMPORTANT:
Before connecting the appliance to an external power supply,
always observe the instructions in section ‘Using an External Power Supply’.
The vacuum sealer is intended for vacuuming and sealing the designated foils, bags
and vacuum containers. Insufficient or damaged containers may burst (implode) when
vacuumed, leading to a high risk of injuries and damage according to splinters and
splashes flying around. Before operation, always check the vacuum containers for
any type of damage (e.g. cracks, distortions, or dents). Insufficient foils and bags
may damage the appliance and cause overheating and fire. Do not attempt to vacu-
um and/or seal others than the designated foils, bags or vacuum containers. Do not
overfill the bags or vacuum containers to avoid damage to the appliance.
Before starting the VAC SEAL function, ensure that the vacuum chamber is completely
empty. Always ensure that the vacuum pump will not suck in any liquids.
If liquids are
sucked in, immediately cancel the vacuuming by pressing the SEAL or STOP button
to
avoid risk of electric shock, overheating, and damage.
The appliance is not intended for continuous use. After each sealing process, ensure
to let the appliance cool down for at least 30 seconds before starting the next sealing
process. If the appliance is overheating, wait at least 20 minutes with the lid open
to let the appliance cool down.
Note:
You may cancel any running process at any time you wish by pressing the STOP
button. However, regularly the appliance will stop operation automatically as soon
as the selected function is complete.
SETTING THE SPEED – SPEED
You can operate the vacuum pump on two speed settings. On low speed (GENTLE),
the power of the vacuum pump will decrease, resulting in an increased vacuuming
time. However, using this setting, it is easier to control the vacuum pump by pressing
the SEAL button in time, thus terminating vacuuming and starting the sealing process.
For vacuum sealing large bags, operation on high speed (“NORMAL” LED is illumi-
nated) is useful. Use the lower speed for small bags and bags containing delicate
objects or food or large amounts of moisture. Additionally, when vacuum sealing deli-
cate objects or food with a lot of liquid, you should use the GENTLE setting.
