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
thermal 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 Basic 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 illumina-
ted. 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: approxima-
tely 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.

Certification:
• Do not vacuum pack inflammable liquids (e.g. alcoholic beverages, sol-
vents). caused by low pressure, large amounts of liquid will evaporate,
thus building-up a hazardous explosive mixture. Additionally, the appliance
will get damaged.
• Containers used for vacuuming may not have any cracks and scratches. Thus, carefully
check all containers used with the appliance for perfect condition. Do not use any other
than the designated containers. Damaged or unsuited containers can burst under vacuum
with splinters hurled about! Always handle containers under vacuum with special care,
to avoid bursting. Do not consume any food from a crushed container, because splinters
could be in the food, thus causing severe injuries.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Always
unplug the appliance, and wait until the sealing band cooled down, before moving, or
cleaning, or when the appliance is not in use. Do not grasp the appliance at the open lid
or power cord for moving the appliance.
• Always unplug and wait for the appliance to cool down, before cleaning or storing. Close
the lid to protect sealing band and gaskets for moving or storing.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads), or any
corrosive chemicals (e.g. bleach) for cleaning. Do not immerse the appliance or power
cord in water or any other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the appliance, or on
the power cord to avoid risk of fire and electric shock. When liquids are spilled in the
motor housing or sucked in, immediately switch OFF the appliance (STOP button), unplug
the appliance, and wait for the appliance to cool down. Thereafter, clean and dry the
appliance thoroughly. (See: Care and Cleaning)
• Do noT place the appliance or any parts in an automatic dishwasher.
important safeguards for electrical appliances
The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket
to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conduc-
tor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power
supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220-240 V, 50 Hz, AC,
rated for at least 8 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum
rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly
recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
• Do not use multiple electrical adapters. We recommend avoiding the usage of extension
cords. However, if you wish to use an extension cord, ensure that the protective conductor
is connected properly.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Always
immediately unplug the appliance after use and before cleaning. Always grasp the plug
when disconnecting the appliance from the power outlet.
• 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
