play areas again and the hissing noise of the air flowing back into the vacuum
chamber is heard. Then open the lid and remove the sealed bag.
11. If required, before sealing another bag, check the trip dray for any residues that
had been sucked in (see: ‘Emptying the Drip Tray’). If you wish to vacuum seal
another bag, wait some seconds, before starting again with step 3.
12. If you do not wish to use the appliance once more, hold your finger on the stop
button for approx. 3 seconds. Then unplug the appliance from the mains power
supply.
13. After usage, clean the appliance (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’).
IMPORTANT -
Do not leave the appliance connected to the power supply when
it is not in use.
MANUALLY CONTROLLING THE VACUUM PUMP
Via the pulse button the low pressure within the bag can be controlled manually.
This may help to protect delicate objects within the bag from being crushed and
liquids and powders from being sucked out of the bag.
IMPORTANT -
Ensure to keep the top rim of the bag clean and dry. Particles and
moisture at the area of the seal prevent getting an airtight sealing. If required, you should
determine the optimum sealing time via the seal only function (see: ‘Sealing Foils’).
1. Choose a bag of sufficient size (see also: ‘Sealing Foils’). At least 5-8 cm (2-3 inches)
of free space must be left between the contents and the top of the bag. Check that
the bag is airtight, before filling it. While inserting the items to be sealed into the
bag, ensure that the sealing area of the bag will be left dry and clean.
2. Place the appliance onto a suitable surface and first connect the small plug of
the power cord to the power socket of the appliance, then connect the power
plug to an appropriate wall power outlet.
3. Open the lid. Before starting any vacuum sealing session, ensure that the vacu-
um chamber and drip tray are completely empty (see: ‘Emptying the Drip Tray’).
4. Ensuring that the foil of the bag is spread out smooth and without folds and
gaps, push the upper rim of the bag onto the heating bar and vacuum gasket.
It is crucial that the rim of the bag is positioned completely in the drip tray.
5. Close the lid. The bag should be clamped between lid and base of the appliance.
6. Touch the stop button for switching on the appliance. The defaults of the sealing
time and vacuum time are shown on the display areas.
