Get the appliance ready for use. Close the lid tightly. The lid

must audibly engage at each sides of the appliance.

Take the provided vacuum hose and connect the narrow adap-

ter plug to the vacuum port at the right side of the appliance

(see picture J). The adapter plug must be attached securely

and should not be able to slip off.

Fill the container with its contents.

noTe: Do not overfill the container. When vacuum sealing food

in a container leave 3 cm of free space underneath the lid of

the container.
4.

Place the wide adapter of the vacuum hose over the black rub-

ber seal on the lid of the container. Press the adapter slightly

down. The connection must be sealed tightly (picture J).

noTe: Ensure that the adapter lies correctly in the recess of the

container and is flush with the surface of the lid.
5.

Press the Vacuum Seal button (picture K). The vacuum pump starts to operate audibly.

The vacuum pump indicator illuminates in green. The appliance is generating a vacuum.

After some seconds, the sealing indicator illuminates in red. As soon as the vacuum pro-

cedure is finished, both indicators switch off. The food is now vacuum-packed.

Remove the vacuum hose from the container. If you wish to vacuum seal another contai-

ner, wait approximately 2 minutes to let the appliance cool down. Thereafter, repeat the

process.

TiP: If you wish to open the container, push the rubber seal outwards until you hear a his-

sing sound of air. Hold the seal for 2-3 seconds and then open the lid.
7.

When you have finished vacuum sealing, just pull the small adapter of the vacuum hose

upwards to remove it from the vacuum port.

solVing ProBlems

If any problems occur during operation, you will find solutions in the following table.

Problem

The easy solution

The appliance does not operate

when trying to start it

• Check, whether the appliance is properly connected

to a power outlet and check if the power outlet does

work. Therefore connect another appliance to the

same power outlet.
• Check, whether the power cord and the plug are

defective. Contact an authorised service centre, if they

are defective.
• The appliance shuts off automatically to prevent

overheating. Let the appliance cool down for 20

minutes and try again.

The appliance does not seal the

bag

• Check whether the bag is in proper position (see:

‘Sealing the Plastic Bag’), and check, whether the bag

is clean and dry in the sealing section and lies evenly.

Problem

The easy solution

The appliance does not gene

rate a full vacuum

• Check, whether:

- the bag is in proper position (see: ›Sealing the

Plastic Bag‹) and whether the end of the bag

extends into the vacuum chamber.

- the gaskets are clean and in perfect condition.

- little pieces of food are inside the plastic bag

on the section of the sealing band.

- the bag is leaking. You can proof this by

dipping the sealed bag into water. In case of

leaking, air would escape when you put slight

pressure on the bag. Seal the bag again or use

a new one.

The appliance does not seal the

plastic bag properly

• Check, whether:

- the bag is in proper position (see: ›Sealing the

Plastic Bag‹) and whether the end of the bag

extends into the vacuum chamber.

- something sticks to the sealing band or gaskets.

- little pieces of food are inside the plastic bag

on the section of the sealing band.

• In case of an overheated sealing band the bag

would melt. Open the appliance and let it cool

down for a few minutes.

• In the event of overheating the appliance will

automatically shut down (thermal cut out) to pre-

vent damage. Let the appliance cool down for 20

minutes and try again.

The appliance does not

generate a vacuum inside

the container

• Check, whether:

- the vacuum hose is connected properly to the

vacuum port and container (see: ›How to Vacu-

um Seal a Container‹).

- the lid of the container is closed properly and

the black rubber seal on the lid of the contai-

ner is properly attached to the lid.

- the black rubber seal of the vacuum chamber is

porous and/or leaking.

- the vacuum hose is defective.

- the container is overfilled. Leave 3 cm of free

space underneath the lid!
