CAUTION: HOT! RISK OF BURNS!
• Take extreme care when using this appliance. It is designed for vacuum
packing food and other items. The sealing wire and vacuum pump are
powered electrically and the sealing wire gets hot during operation,
especially after repeated sealing processes. The heating starts as soon as
the sealing indicator is illuminated.
• Avoid touching the sealing wire immediately after operation with any parts of
your body or heat-sensitive items.
• After each sealing process, let the appliance cool down for at least
20 seconds (with the lid left open) before starting again.
• Plastic film rolls and bags:
Only use the designated rolls of plastic film and
designated plastic bags with the appliance to avoid damage.
• Moving and storage:
When moving or storing the appliance, close the lid to
protect the sealing wire and gaskets.

for damage. Do not use the product if there are any signs of damage. A
damaged cord or plug must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

it, has been damaged, or after it has malfunctioned. The appliance is likely

sales support line to arrange return or repair of the damaged product.
