Care and cleaning
Remove the plug from the power outlet before cleaning and storing the appliance.
WARNING! Allow the appliance to cool down, before cleaning the appliance. Do
not place the appliance or power cord in an automatic dishwasher. Do not immerse
the appliance or power cord in any liquids or spill any liquids on it. Always wipe off
spilled liquids immediately. Do not pour or drip any liquids on the appliance or
power cord. Do not place the appliance on wet or damp surfaces. When liquids
are spilled on the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance and dry the
appliance to avoid risk of electric shock or fire.
For easy cleaning – immediately after each use clean the appliance. This
way no leftover food will stick, burn-in or carbonise to the sealing band.
If necessary carefully clean the sealing band with a damp
sponge or cloth and warm soapy water. Do not clean the vacuum
sealer or any parts of it in the dishwasher.
Wipe the exterior of the vacuum sealer and power cord with a damp
soft cloth. Take care not to spill or drip water or any other liquids on the

cleaning. Take out the gasket by carefully pulling it up (picture A).
Slide the security lock of the vacuum chamber all the way to the right
(picture B) and take out the vacuum chamber (picture C). Clean the
vacuum chamber with a damp sponge or cloth and warm soapy water.
NOTE: Do not clean the vacuum chamber in an automatic
dishwasher. Pay attention not to loose the sealing ring on the bottom
side of the vacuum chamber. The sealing ring is placed on the hose port.
Thoroughly dry the vacuum sealer and all parts of the appliance after
each cleaning. Polish the surface with a dry towel.
Advantages of vacuum-packing
The process of vacuum-packing removes up to 90% of air inside the bag or container
and seals it air-tight. Air, light and temperature above 0 degree makes the food easily
perishable.
• the vacuum prevents oxidation of food and blocks micro-organisms and bacteria
• it blocks scent and preserves food´s distinct taste, colour, nutrient and freshness
• it reduces bad odours in the refrigerator
• it lengthens food´s freshness up to 5 times
• it preserves the natural colour of frozen food and protects frozen food from freezer-burn
