Place the open end of the bag in the middle of the sealing

gasket. If you wish to generate a vacuum, the bag must reach

into the vacuum chamber (picture f).

TiP: Ensure that no food particles, liquids, or grease are in

the sealing section of the bag. Otherwise the seam could be

leaking.
4.

Close the lid and press the lid down at the marked lines (pic-

ture g). Ensure that the lid is securely locked and the lock has

engaged (you will hear a clicking sound when the lid snaps

shut). The appliance is now ready for use.

Press the Vacuum Seal button (picture H). The vacuum pump

indicator illuminates in green. The vacuum pump is audibly

working and the foil clings to the content of the bag. As soon

as the vacuum procedure is finished the sealing indicator illu-

minates in red. The complete process is finished as soon as

both indicators switch off.

Press the lock release buttons on either side of the appliance

to open the lid and take out the bag (picture i).

imPorTanT: The sealing band could get hot after repeated

sealing processes. Do not touch the sealing band with any parts

of your body or heat-sensitive items immediately after sealing.
7.

Check if the seam is even and smooth. The bag is sealed pro-

perly, if there is a smooth line with no interruption and crease

on the seam. If in doubt, just place another seal near the first

one. For this, use the Seal Only button.

noTe: If the desired vacuum is not reached, the vacuum system

will shut down automatically after 30 seconds without entering

the sealing process. In this case, check whether the bag has a

leak, or the bag was not placed properly. The appliance is not

intended for continuous operation. Please wait for approximate-

ly 30 seconds with the lid open, before starting a new sealing

process.
8.

If there are any liquids (e.g. condensate) or parts of the food in the dripping tray, clean

the dripping tray, before starting the vacuum pump again. For this, you can take out the

dripping tray.

Unplug the appliance, when you have finished operating.

How to Vacuum seal a container

Suitable vacuum containers are available on the market.

warning:

Only use special containers suited for vacuum packing. Always check the

container carefully for any damage (cracks or scratches) before vacuum sealing. Damaged

or unsuitable container (glass or plastic) cannot resist the pressure and could implode,

causing severe injuries. Do not consume any food that has been in a damaged container.

Splinters in the food could cause severe injuries.

Get the appliance ready for use as described in ›Getting the

Appliance Ready for Use‹. Press the lock release buttons on

both sides of the appliance to open the lid (picture a).

Ensure the gaskets (foam rubber seal, sealing gasket) are

clean and no foreign substances stick on the sealing band.

Ensure that the dripping tray is inserted properly.

Place one open end of the foil on the white sealing gasket

(picture B). The end of the foil does not need to extend over

the black foam rubber seal into the vacuum chamber, because

there is no need to operate the vacuum pump for sealing the

bottom of the bag.

noTe: To get an air-tight seam, the foil must be completely

clean and dry, and lay smooth and unlined on the sealing

gasket.
5.

Close the lid and press the lid down on the marked lines (pic-

ture c). Ensure that the lid is securely locked and the lock has

engaged at both sides (you will hear a clicking sound when

the lid snaps shut). The appliance is now ready for use.

Press the Seal Only button (picture D). The appliance starts

to operate, and the red sealing indicator illuminates. If the

bottom of the bag is sealed the indicator switches off.

TiP: If the sealing indicator does not lit after pressing the Seal

Only button, check whether the lid is closed properly.
7.

Press the lock release buttons on both sides of the appliance

to open the lid (picture e) and take out the foil.

imPorTanT: The sealing band could get hot after repeated

sealing processes. Do not touch the sealing band with an parts

of your body or heat-sensitive items immediately after sealing.
8.

Check if the seam is even and smooth. The bottom of the bag

is sealed properly, if there is a smooth line with no interruption

and crease on the seam. If in doubt, just place another seal

near the first one.

How to Vacuum-Pack in a Plastic Bag/foil

After sealing the bottom of the bag and ensuring that the seam

is air-tight, you can fill the bag. For this, observe the hints and

tips, given in section ›Tipps for Best Results‹.

TiP: Do not overload the plastic bag. Leave approximately 8

cm of free space above the food. Otherwise the appliance can-

not generate a vacuum. Pre-freeze moist food before vacuum

packing. This way no liquids can get sucked into the appliance

and the food will not get squashed.
2.

Check the proper installation of the dripping tray. The brim of

the dripping tray may not protrude the foam rubber seal of the

vacuum chamber.
