USEFUL TIPS
1. Do not overfill the bags, leaving enough free space at the open end of the bag to allow it to be conveniently
placed in the vacuum chamber.
2. Make sure the inner and outer surfaces at the open end of the bag are dry. It is difficult to melt and properly
seal a damp or wet bag.
3. Vacuuming will not replace food storage in the refrigerator or freezer. Perishable food must always be
stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
4. Clean and dry the open ends of the bags before vacuum packaging and sealing. Make sure there are no
dirt or creases on the edge, otherwise sealing problems and leakage may occur.
5. To avoid wrinkles when vacuum packaging and sealing bags with large amounts of food, when inserting
into the vacuum chamber, carefully stretch the open end of the bag and hold it until the pump begins to
evacuate the air.
6. If you vacuum package objects with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silver, etc.), protect the bag from puncture
by wrapping the object in a soft material such as paper napkin. Consider using a suitable container instead
of a bag.
7. When using accessories, be sure to leave at least 2.5 cm of space under the lid in the containers.
8. We recommend freezing the fruit and blanching the vegetables before vacuum packaging.
9. When vacuum packaging more bags, it is recommended to wait 40 s before next sealing.
10. If you are not sure that the bag is properly sealed, seal it again.
11. Use ECG bags for best results.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•
Always unplug the appliance from the socket before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool.
•
Do not immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.
•
Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may scratch the surface of the machine.

TROUBLESHOOTING
You are trying to vacuum, but nothing is happening:
1. Check the connection to the mains socket.
2. Check if the power cable is not damaged.
3. Check that the power outlet is OK by plugging in another appliance.
4. Make sure that the latches clicked properly.
5. Make sure the bag is correctly inserted into the vacuum chamber.
6. Allow the appliance to cool for 40 seconds with the lid open before using it again.
There is still air in the bag:
1. Make sure the bag is inserted correctly with open end completely into the vacuum chamber.
2. Air remains in the bag after vacuuming:
Check the bag for leaks. Seal the bag containing the air and immerse it in water. Escaping bubbles signal
a leak. If bubbles appear, use a new bag.
