• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not place the appliance on a power cord.
Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Keep the cable away
from any hot surfaces (e.g. sealing band of the appliance). Never pull, rip, bend, clamp,
squish or knot the power cord. Attend to nobody getting caught in loops of the power cord
or pulling the appliance off the work space. When pulling the plug always catch hold of
the enclosure of the plug. Do not attempt to repair the power cord!
• Do not place or immerse the appliance or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do
not pour or drip any liquids on the appliance or power cord. When liquids are spilled on
the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance and dry it to avoid risk of electric shock
or fire (see ›Care and cleaning‹). Do not attempt to operate the appliance, when liquids are
on or in the electrical section of the appliance.
• The appliance is not intended for continuous operation. Please wait approximately 30
seconds with the lid open (approximately 2 minutes with the lid closed) after each sealing
process before switching on again. For additional safety the appliance is fitted with a ther-
mal cut out. In the event of overheating (possible with room temperature of 35 °C or more,
or overvoltage of the power supply) the appliance will automatically shut down to prevent
damage. In this case, unplug and let the appliance cool down for approximately 20 minutes
before operating the appliance again.
hot surfaces – risks of Burns
The Design Vacuum Sealer Plus is designed for vacuum packing food and other
items. The sealing band and vacuum pump are electrically driven. The sealing
band gets hot during operation.
• The sealing band will be still hot, even a short time after sealing. This holds
especially after repeated operation. The heating starts as soon as the sealing indicator is
illuminated. Only use the designated foils and bags with the appliance. Do not place any
foreign substances (such as papers, unsuitable plastics, textiles or the like) on the sealing
surfaces, to avoid risk of fire and damage to the appliance.
• The appliance needs some time to cool down after each sealing procedure: approxi-
mately 30 seconds with the lid open; approximately 2 minutes with the lid closed. Do not
touch the hot sealing band with any parts of your body or heat-sensitive items shortly after
operation.
• Always unplug the appliance and let the sealing band cool down before cleaning the
appliance.
