  SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR 

SUNBEAM FOOD PRESERVER, VACUUM BAG 
SEALER.

•  Always operate on a flat surface.
•  Do not operate continuously for more than 2 

minutes at a time.

Sunbeam are very safety conscious when 
designing and manufacturing consumer 
products, but it is essential that the product 
user also exercise care when using an 
electrical appliance. Listed below are 
precautions which are essential for the safe 
use of an electrical appliance:

•  Read carefully and save all the instructions 

provided with an appliance.

•  Always turn the power off at the power outlet 

before you insert or remove a plug. Remove 
by grasping the plug – do not pull the cord.

•  Turn the power off and remove the plug 

when the appliance is not in use or before 
cleaning.

•  Do not use your appliance with an extension 

cord unless this cord has been checked and 
tested by a qualified technician or service 
person.

•  Always use your appliance from a power 

outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on 
the appliance.

•  Close supervision is necessary when your 

appliance is being used near children or by 
infirm persons.

•  Never leave an appliance unattended while 

in use.

•  Young children should be supervised to 

ensure that they do not play with the 
appliance.

•  Do not use an appliance for any purpose 

other than its intended use.

•  Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas 

flame, electric element or on a heated oven. 
Do not place on top of any other appliance.

•  Do not let the power cord of an appliance 

hang over the edge of a table or bench or 
touch any hot surface.

•  For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance 

by unskilled persons, some appliances are 
‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such 
appliances should always be returned to the 
nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre 
for adjustment or repair if required.

•  Do not operate any electrical appliance with 

a damaged cord or after the appliance has 
been dropped or damaged in any manner. If 
damage is suspected, return the appliance 
to the nearest Sunbeam appointed Service 
Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.

•  For additional protection, Sunbeam 

recommend the use of a residual current 
device (RCD) with a tripping current not 
exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit 
supplying power to your appliances.

•  Do not immerse the appliance in water or 

any other liquid unless recommended.

Sunbeam’s Safety Precautions

  If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance,  

please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.
