WARNING:
Only use the designated vacuum containers for vacuum packa-
ging. Unsuited containers could implode during evacuation or thereafter, with
splinters and splashes being hurled about. Always check the container and contai-
ner lid / top for proper condition before evacuation. There may be no cracks,
distortions or worn out seals. Always handle evacuated containers with special
care to avoid damage and injuries due to implosion. Do not heat any evacuated
and/or airtight containers. Always ventilate the container, before opening the lid.
Note
Always remove the container lid or bottle top completely, before heating food
within the vacuum container. Before heating, ensure that the container is sufficiently
heat-resistant. Do not heat vacuum containers directly on the range or in the oven.
It is best to use a bain-marie (pot with hot water). Microwave-resistant containers
may be heated in a microwave oven with the lid open.
Note
The designated vacuum hose may not fit to the lid of vacuum containers being sold
on the market but not recommended by the manufacturer. Before operation, check
whether your container is suited for usage with the appliance.
Note
To prevent germs from getting into your food, it is good advice to sterilize the con-
tainer and lid before filling in food. For this, you may rinse the container using hot
water (at least 80°C). However, ensure that the container will tolerate the high
temperature. After sterilization, do not wipe the container but leave it dry naturally
on a clean surface. When wiping with a cloth, germs could get onto the surfaces
of the container again.
1. Ensure that the container and container lid are undamaged, airtight and com-
pletely clean and dry.
2. Fill your food into the container, leaving at least 2.5 cm (1
inch) of free space bet-
ween your food and the rim of the container. Ensure keeping the rim of the con-
tainer and container lid clean and dry. Close the container with the container lid.
3. Place the appliance onto a suitable surface. Connect the small plug of the power
cord to the power port at the rear of the appliance. Insert the power plug into
the power outlet. The LCD display illuminates.
4. Push one end of the vacuum hose into the vacuum outlet at the rear of the appli-
ance. Connect the other end to the vacuum port of the container lid. Press the
