OPERATING THE VACUUM SEALER
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to open or close the lid with violence! The lid is
moved by the locks within the base of the appliance and is fixed to the locks by
two locking pins (see: ‘Knowing Your New Design Vacuum Sealer Advanced Sca-
le Pro’). Always avoid to hold your fingers between lid and base of the appliance,
when the lid is about to be closed. This will happen, when starting the SEAL or
VAC SEAL function or when touching the contact bar.
Important:
The vacuum sealer is intended for evacuating and sealing the designa-
ted foils, bags and vacuum containers. Insufficient or damaged containers may
burst (implode) when evacuated, leading to a high risk of injuries and damage
according to splinters and splashes being hurled about. Before operation, always
check the vacuum containers for any type of damage (e.g. cracks, distortions, or
dents). Insufficient foils and bags may damage the appliance and cause overhe-
ating and fire. Do not overfill the bags or vacuum containers to avoid damage to
the appliance.
Before starting the VAC SEAL function, ensure that the vacuum chamber is completely
empty. Always ensure that the vacuum pump will not suck in any liquids. If liquids
are sucked in, immediately cancel the evacuation by pressing the STOP button to
avoid risk of electric shock, overheating, and damage.
The appliance is not intended for continuous use. After each sealing process, ensure
to let the appliance cool down for at least 60 seconds before starting the next sealing
process. If the appliance is overheating (all buttons are flashing), unplug the appliance
and wait at least 20 minutes with the lid open to let the appliance cool down.
Note
You may cancel any running process at any time you wish by pressing the STOP
button. However, regularly the appliance will stop operation automatically as
soon as the selected function is complete.
