CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING:
Ensure that the appliance is always out of reach of young
children.
Always unplug the power cord from the mains power supply and the
small plug from the rear of the appliance, before cleaning the appliance. Do not
touch the heating bar or sealing bar shortly after operation. Do not spill or pour
any liquids on or into the appliance or power cord. Do not immerse the appliance
or any part of it in water or any other liquid. Do not place the appliance or power
cord on wet surfaces to avoid risk of electric shock.
Do not place the appliance
or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.
Do not use any hard or sharp-edged objects, corrosive chemicals, disinfectants,
abrasive cleaners, or metal scouring pads for cleaning the appliance or any part
of it. Clean the appliance immediately after each use to avoid that residues of food
will stick to the heating bar, burn-in, or carbonize on the heating bar, or dry on the
interior of the vacuum chamber.
Do not poke or scratch with any foreign objects
in the appliance, the power port, or vacuum outlet.
Special care is required when
cleaning the vacuum gaskets, heating bar, and sealing bar. Do not use violence.
The lid is fixed to the locks in the base of the appliance via two locking pins. Nor-
mally, it is impossible to move the lid manually.
Do not attempt to move the lid
manually with violence to avoid damage to the locking system of the lid!
When disconnecting the power cord, do not pull the cord, but always grasp the
plugs.
1. If the lid is closed, connect the appliance to the mains power supply by inser-
ting the small plug into the power port of the appliance and then connecting the
power plug into the mains power supply. Touch the contact bar to open the lid.
2. With the lid open, unplug the power cord from the mains power supply, and
then from the power port of the appliance. For this, grasp the plugs.
3. If required, clean the power cord using a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Important:
There is no way to clean the interior of the vacuum hose, if you cannot
blow out any liquids or particles of food that entered the interior. Exchange the
vacuum hose by the designated spare part, recommended by the manufacturer.
Please, contact your vendor.
4. If required, remove the vacuum hose from the rear of the appliance. Carefully
wipe the vacuum hose with a damp cloth.Pull out the locking pins at both sides
of the lid. Thereafter, you can open up the lid manually. However, always sup-
port the lid with one hand, when it is opened up. Do not let the lid fall down
onto the locks in the base to avoid damage.Pull out the drip tray from the vacu-
um chamber. Wash the drip tray in warm dishwater. Then wipe dry thoroughly
and leave dry naturally.
