Tip:
If it is difficulty to position the foil of an already filled bag, it may be helpful
to close the lid first, and then control the position of the bag, before starting the
desired function. For closing the lid without starting a function, simply touch the
contact bar. “CLOSE” will be shown on the LCD display.
8. Ensure to remove your fingers from under the lid and press the VAC SEAL button.
The appliance closes the lid automatically, while showing “CLOSE” on the LCD
display. The lock attaches the lid securely. The VAC SEAL button illuminates and
the vacuum pump starts evacuating the bag.
Important:
While the vacuum pump is working, you may stop evacuation and
start sealing at any time by pressing the SEAL button. Use this feature to protect
the contents of the bag, if it is going to get damaged by low pressure. Alterna-
tively,
when any liquid or powder starts getting sucked in, immediately press
the STOP button, to terminate the entire process.
The bag will not be sealed. It
is not recommended, attempting to seal the bag, when liquid or powder has been
sucked into the area of the seal as liquids and powder within the sealing area
would prevent the bag from being sealed airtight.
9. Wait until the illumination of the VAC SEAL button goes out and the appliance
opens the lid automatically (“OPEN”). Remove the sealed bag.
Important:
Leave the appliance cool down for at least 60 seconds after each
sealing process. Do not leave the appliance connected to the power supply, when
it is not in use.
10. If required, before continuing, check the trip dray for any residues that had been
sucked in (see: ‘Emptying the Drip Tray’).
11. If you wish to vacuum seal another bag, wait for 60 seconds before starting
again with step 4.
12. If you do not wish to use the appliance once more, touch the contact bar for
closing the lid (“CLOSE”). Then unplug the appliance from the mains power sup-
ply and remove the small plug of the power cord from the appliance. Cover the
power port of the appliance via the silicone lid.
EVACUATING A CONTAINER
Using the appliance, you may evacuate vacuum containers, designated for this pur-
pose: boxes and bottles with suitable lids and tops.
