1 Safety precautions
▪ Made from glass, the appliance lid is under tension. Damage to the surface
of the glass may cause it to shatter. The appliance must not be operated if
the lid is cracked or broken. Contact Customer Services.
Caution: Risk to life
▪ Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material, e.g. plastic film and poly-
styrene, away from children. Packaging material can be dangerous for chil-
dren.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪ Open and close the appliance lid slowly.
▪ Do not put any objects on the appliance, especially any sources of heat or
cold. Do not drop any objects on the appliance lid.
▪ Only chilled food should be vacuumed.
▪ A maximum of 40 vacuum and sealing processes can be carried out one
after the other.
▪ When vacuuming or cleaning make sure no water gets inside the appliance
and in particular into the suction inlet of the vacuum pump. Use a moder-
ately damp cloth for cleaning. Do not spray the outside or the inside of the
appliance with water. If water gets inside the appliance, it will cause dam-
age.
▪ Take care not to damage the lid gasket with pointed or sharp objects. Do
not use any cleaning agent to clean the lid gasket – use just a damp cloth.
1.5 Using for the first time
Before operating the newly installed appliance for the first time, the following
steps should be taken:
▪ Remove packaging and transport materials, and any protective film, from
out of the vacuum tank.
▪ Remove the operating instructions, bags and any unneeded accessories.
