7. Start vacuum packing and sealing with the
VAC & SEAL/STOP
2A
butt on. The
2G
indicator will turn on red. The vacuum
packing and sealing process will start. The
vacuum packing and sealing process takes
about a dozen seconds to complete; when it
ends, the
2G
indicator turns green and the
lid lock butt ons ⑩ are released automati -
cally.
8. You can stop the process any ti me by press-
ing VAC & SEAL/STOP
2A
.
9. Once your work with the appliance is done,
unplug it from the mains, lift the lid and
remove the sealed plasti c bag. Check that
all air has been removed well and that the
seal has been welded airti ght. If the plasti c
bag is at vacuum and sealed ti ght, it will be
somewhat rigid. Repeat as required.
VACUUM PACKING (MANUAL MODE)
Some food products have a very fragile structure
and may require a precise control of the vacuum
level. To do this, you can use the manual vacuum
functi on. Manual vacuum control during vacuum
packing and sealing of juicy food products will
help you prevent sucking out the liquids.
1. Place the food product in the plasti c bag.
The plasti c bag should be large enough to
leave approximately 5 cm of free length to
seal it well.
CAUTION! The length of the plasti c bag to
be sealed must be dry and clean. If the free
length to be sealed gets dirty when the food
product is put in the plasti c bag, clean it with
paper towel.
2. Plug the appliance to the mains and open
the lid ① .
3. Put the open end of the plasti c bag into the
vacuum chamber ③ . Keep the knurled side
of the plasti c bag down.
4. Close the lid and press it down. Press the
lid lock butt ons ⑩ at the same ti me to keep
the plasti c fi lm fi rmly pressed down.
5. Press and hold the PULSE
2E
butt on to
manually control the vacuum. The vacuum
pump starts (this is indicated with a green
light at the same butt on). When there is
enough vacuum in the plasti c bag, release
PULSE
2E
.
6. Press the SEAL
2B
butt on. The
2G
indicator will turn on red, and sealing will
start. The vacuum will start several seconds
later and take a short while to allow the
vacuum sealer to automati cally release the
lid. When vacuum and sealing ends, you will
hear a beep, and the
2G
indicator will turn
green.
7. Once your work with the appliance is done,
unplug it from the mains, lift the lid and
remove the sealed plasti c bag. Check that
all air has been removed well and that the
seal has been welded airti ght.
VACUUM VIA ACCESSORIES
The vacuum sealer can evacuate air from
detached containers. This requires the PSC-30
vacuum tube (not included).
1. Connect a compati ble vacuum tube to the
accessory vacuum connector ⑪ . Connect
the other end of the vacuum tube to its
dedicated container.
2. Plug the power cord to a mains outlet.
3. Press the ACCESSORY
2F
butt on to evac-
uate air from the container. The green
2F
indicator is on when vacuum is on.
4. The vacuum process ends aft er several sec-
onds and the vacuum pump stops. You can
stop the vacuum at any ti me by pressing
VAC & SEAL/ STOP
2A
.
5. Repeat the vacuum, if there is not enough
vacuum in the container.
6. When done, disconnect the vacuum tube
and unplug the appliance from the mains.
PRACTICAL TIPS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Vacuum pack the food as fresh as possible.
Vacuum sealers help keep the food fresh
and unspoiled fi ve ti mes longer than tradi-
ti onal storage.
2. Fragile-structured, moist or pliable food
types (e.g. bakery products, meat and
fruit) must be deep frozen before vacuum
packing. Put the food products in a freezer
a few days before vacuum packing. This will
make these products hard enough for safe
vacuum packing.
3. If you want to vacuum pack fresh meat
without freezing it fi rst, place a piece of
folded paper towel between the meat and
the top of the plasti c bag. The paper towel
will soak up the moisture and prevent suck-
ing it into the vacuum sealer.

4. Food products with sharp edges need to be
wrapped in paper towel to prevent cutti ng
of the plasti c bag.
5. Before packing food products for
SOUS VIDE cooking, bag them with the
ingredients and seasoning.
6. Do not reuse the plasti c bags.
7. Scald the vegetables in boiling water before
vacuum packing. Vacuum packing is not
suitable for prolonged storage of fungi
or garlic; vacuum will not harm anaerobic
bacteria.
8. You can make ice packs with the vacuum
sealer. Add water to a plasti c bag with a
litt le of alcohol, and seal the bag without
vacuum. The ice packs made this way and
cooled in a freezer make for good cold
compresses.
9. The vacuum sealer can also vacuum pack
various items (including maps, jewellery,
etc.).
10. Use only the dedicated weld-sealable
plasti c bags or plasti c fi lm sleeves up to 280
mm in width. One side of the plasti c bags /
fi lm sleeves must be knurled.
11. Semi-liquid food products can only be
sealed in plasti c bags with this appliance.
DO NOT USE VACUUM WHEN SEALING
THESE PRODUCTS. Otherwise the vacu-
um pump may aspirate the liquid. Use the
SEAL butt on only when sealing liquid food
products.
TROUBLESHOOTING
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem Cause Soluti on
The appliance fails to start /
power on.
No power. Plug the appliance to the mains. Verify that your mains rati ngs are
compati ble with the appliance. Inspect the power cord. If you suspect it is
damaged, immediately unplug the appliance from the mains and contact an
Authorized Service.
The appliance does not vacuum
the plasti c bags completely.
The plasti c bag opening is misaligned at the
vacuum chamber. The plasti c bag seal weld is not
airti ght. The fi lm is dirty along the sealing line.
Make sure that the open edges of the plasti c bag are completely in the
vacuum chamber. Try to seal the plasti c bag again. Clean the sealing line.
Once sealed, the plasti c bag
start taking air.
The plasti c bag was pierced by a sharp edge of
its contents.
Some products (including vegetables and fruits)
release gas once vacuum packed and sealed.
Wrap the sharp edges of the food to be sealed.
The vegetables were not scalded before vacuum packing. Open the plasti c
bag and make sure that the food is sti ll fresh.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unplug the appliance from the mains before
cleaning.
2. Clean the appliance housing by wiping with
a damp cloth and some detergent. Next,
wipe the appliance housing dry.
3. Wipe the appliance interior with a dry cloth
only. Take care to clean the vacuum cham-
ber interior well.
4. If the sealing bar gasket ⑧ is very dirty,
you can remove it and wash under running
water. Dry it completely before reinstalling
in the appliance.
