Important notes on the usage
• Make sure there is enough space in front of the appliance for the bags with the food to be vacuum-
sealed.
• Bags and rolls are available with different widths. Opt for the bag size suitable to accommodate your
food to be preserved. Make sure that the bag is at least 8 cm longer than the food to be vacuum-sealed.
• Fill the bag without making wrinkles or tensing the surface. The area of the sealing seam must be clean,
dry and free from food inside and outside.
• For vacuum-sealing sensitive food, we recommend using the function “PULSE”. The air extraction can
be regulated manually by means of this function.
Preparing the appliance for use
• Connect the appliance to the mains. The operation pilot lamp glows “green”.
• Open the appliance’s lid.
• Position the filled bag with the flat side facing upwards in front of the appliance and place the open
edge of the bag inside the vacuum chamber up to the spacers.
• Close the lid and press it down simultaneously with both thenars until it latches audibly on both sides.
