2.) Preparing the appliance for operation
Completely unwind the power cord from the cord storage.
• Put the plug in a socket. All pilot lamps light up for a short time.
• For unlocking the upper part, fold the handle upwards.
• Open the upper part to the stop.
• The appliance is in standby mode, the pilot lamp above or below the button “Lebensmittel“ lights
up.
• Then close the upper part.
• For locking the upper part, fold the handle down (to position “down“). As soon as the handle is in
the correct position, the first pilot lamp of the status display lights up. The appliance is ready for
operation now.
3.) Starting the automatic programme
• The appliance activates the pump and extracts air from the bag, so that a vacuum develops.
The pilot lamp below the button “Automatik / Stopp“ lights up.
• After successful extraction of air, the pump stops and the sealing of the bag starts. Now the pilot
lamp below the button “Versiegeln” lights up additionally.
• As soon as the pilot lamp below the button ”Versiegeln“ goes out, the process is completed.
The appliance switches to operation mode. The first pilot lamp at the status display as well as the
upper or lower pilot lamp of the button “Lebensmittel“ (depending on the setting) light up.
• In order to remove the foil, fold the handle upwards and then open the upper part of the appliance
until the stop.
• Check the sealing seam. A correct seam should be a smooth straight line without wrinkles and
showing no structure anymore.
• Pull the mains plug after each use and bring the upper part of the appliance into parking position.
Note: You can see the progress of the function in the status display.
• Place an open end of the foil on the sealing bar.
• The foil must not lie on the sealing or extend
into the vacuum chamber.
Note: Always ensure the correct position of the foil.
• To start, press the button “Automatik / Stopp“.
Note: The operation can be stopped at any time by
pressing the button “Automatik / Stopp“ once again.
Note: To avoid overheating, the appliance
automatically stops after one minute of extraction
time, if the bag is not tight.
