Causes of
damage
Caution!
■
Check the appliance for damage before each use.
Pay particular attention to the intactness of the glass
lid.
Do not operate the appliance if the glass lid is
damaged. Call the after-sales service.
■
Slowly open and close the glass lid.
■
Do not place any objects on the glass lid. Do not use
the appliance as a work surface or storage space.
Ensure that no objects can fall onto the glass lid. To
use it, pull the drawer out fully until it reaches a stop.
Completely close the drawer if you are not using it.
■
Before closing the glass lid, ensure that there is no
debris in the vacuuming chamber.
■
Ensure that the seals are not damaged by pointed or
sharp objects.
■
Check that the seal on the glass lid is positioned
correctly. Ensure that the seal's contact surface is
clean and free from debris. Otherwise, this may
impair the functionality of the appliance.
Do not operate the appliance if the seal is defective.
If you do so, this may damage the appliance. Call
the after-sales service.
■
Observe the cleaning instructions.
■
In the event of a power failure, the vacuum remains
in the vacuuming chamber during the vacuuming
process. Never attempt to use a tool to open the
glass lid. Wait until the power supply has been re-
established and restart the vacuuming process
■
Do not vacuum food in its original packaging after
you have opened it. Only use bags that are suitable
for vacuuming food.
■
In the vacuum, liquids start to boil at low
temperatures. This produces vapour and may cause
the appliance to malfunction.
– Ensure that the food to be vacuumed is at the
lowest possible initial temperature – within the
range of 1 – 8 °C is best.
– Never vacuum liquids in the vacuuming bag at
the maximum vacuuming level.
– Recommendation: Vacuum liquids in the
vacuuming bag at vacuuming level 2.
– Carefully monitor the vacuuming process. It is
normal for some bubbles to form when
vacuuming liquids. Heat-seal the bag in good
time as soon as the bubble formation visibly
increases.
– Tip: You can also vacuum liquids in fixed,
commercially available vacuuming containers.
Use vacuuming level 3 for this. When vacuuming,
do not use any plastic bottles or other vessels
that contract during external vacuuming.
