During marinating, the interior of the container is under low pressu-
re (vacuum). Even little damages of the container or improper treatment may cause
implosion of evacuated containers. Always handle any evacuated containers with spe-
cial care to avoid injuries and damage due to splinters and splashes being hurled
about. Do not expose evacuated containers to heat, mechanical or thermal shocks, or
direct sunlight. Always press the STOP button, before removing the vacuum hose from
the container or appliance, to ensure that the MARINATE function is terminated.
6. Wait until the MARINATE indicator goes out. Then press the STOP button to
ensure that the appliance will be idle.

the appliance again, remove the vacuum hose from the appliance.
8. Do not leave the appliance connected to the power supply, when it is not in use.
Unplug the power cord from the mains power supply first. Remove the small plug
of the power cord from the appliance and close the power port of the appliance
via the silicone lid.
