BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove the appliance from the box, discard any bags, stickers and polystyrene fillers.
2. Inspect the appliance for damage during transport and contact the seller when in doubt.
3. Verify that your power mains match the nameplate ratings of the appliance.
4. Place the appliance on a hard, firm, dry, level and even surface.
USING THE VACUUM SEALER
Vacuum packing and sealing is done by placing a food product in a plastic bag, from which air
is evacuated, and finally, the opening of the bag is hermetically sealed by pressure welding.
Vacuum packing with this appliance requires ready-to-use plastic bags or sealing the food in
plastic bags trimmed off and sealed from a sleeve of plastic film wound on a roll. Trimming
and sealing in plastic bags from a roll helps match the bag’s length to the size of the food
product. The plastic bag roll should not exceed 290 mm in width, and the plastic film must be
made by knurling. This is the only plastic film grade suitable for proper welding.
CAUTION! Vacuum packing DOES NOT substitute for cooling or freezing of food. All perishable food types which
require cold storage must be kept cold or frozen once vacuum-packed.
PREPARING THE PLASTIC BAGS
1. Connect the appliance to a mains outlet.
2. Press the lid lock buttons (8) and raise the lid (1).
3. Unroll the desired length of film and cut it.
4. Align the trimmed off edge of the plastic bag with the sealing bar gasket (7) and with most
of the plastic bag outside of the appliance. Place the plastic bag with the knurled side up.
5. Close the lid and press it down until the buttons (8) “click”.
