• Start the sealing process by pressing the button “seal” (2H) about 30 – 60 seconds after the blue LED
of the last sector of the status display (2C) has flashed up (fig. P1). The sealing process is finished when
the red LED (2B) in the middle of the status display (2C) stops blinking.
• Release the cover by turning the function levers (1) and remove the bag (fig. O).
NOTE:
Make sure the sealing seam is in proper form. A correct seam has to be a flat, even stripe
without wrinkles and not showing any structure (fig. O1).
• Unplug the appliance after use.
Automatic vacuum-sealing with containers “Executive” or with universal lids
This appliance has a function for automatic vacuum-sealing of special containers or special universal lids
which are available commercially.
The smoke-coloured “Executive” containers and universal lids with star-shaped knob make
vacuum-sealing easier as they allow the connection hose to be inserted directly into the
middle hole of the knob (fig. Q).
Proceed as follows:
• Fill the container, leaving at least 3 cm of space from the upper rim.
• Place the lid on the rim of the container. Turn the knob to “VACUUM”.
• Put one end of the connection hose (16) into the hose port of the appliance (4) and the other end into
the knob of the lid of the container (fig. Q1)
NOTE:
At first, it might be necessary to press the lid manually on the container to make the vacuum
generation easier at the beginning.
• Close the cover and turn the function levers (1) to position “READY” (fig. Q2).
• Start the automatic vacuum-sealing process by pressing the button “canister” (2E) (fig. Q3 and Q4). The
appliance switches off automatically upon completion.
NOTE:
The pump’s runtime is limited to max. 5 minutes; afterwards it switches off automatically.
• Disconnect the connection hose (16) from the lid and the appliance.
• Close the container tightly by turning the star-shaped knob to “CLOSED”.
• For opening the container, turn the knob to “OPEN”; the sound of air rushing back can be heard. This
sound proves that the contents have been stored in a vacuum.
