CAUTION!
Burn hazard!
Hot surface!
Parts of this appliance become very hot during
operation. Improper handling may lead to serious injuries.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Remove the place holder 22 before starting with vacuuming.
Please reinsert the place holder after vacuuming.
• After the sealing process and opening the lid fl ap, avoid coming
into contact with the heating element 15 and the pressing bar
12 , to avoid burns.
Prior to initial use, please perform 1 to 2 sealing cycles. Slight
odours and slight smoke development are normal and will
disappear after a short time. Nevertheless, ensure that there is
suffi cient ventilation (e.g. by opening a window).
Consecutive vacuuming/sealing processes are only possible after
a programmed pause of approx. 10 seconds. After 10 consecutive
processes, a 10-minute cool-down break is programmed. During
this time, the device cannot be started.
Use
17
Prepare fi lm
If you want to label the sealer bag, e.g. with date and/or the
content, do it before vacuuming (waterproof felt tip pen).
Please note that welding seams, which are applied with the
vacuum sealer do not cross. The open sides to be sealed must
be located opposite each other and not adjacent. Do not cut off
welded seams that are already on the fi lm.
1. First, prepare the required number of bags.
For this, unroll a piece of fi lm from the fi lm roll and cut it with
appropriate scissors or cutting bar 7 to the required length.
Please note that due to the sealing, the usable length of
the bag will be slightly shorter than the piece that you
have cut off of the fi lm roll.
2. To use the cutting bar 7, fl ip it open as far as noticeable
resistance, see Fig. B.
If you move the cutting bar beyond the resistance, it will
be removed from the device. To reattach it to the device,
see Fig. D.
3. Position the fi lm over the vacuum sealer.
4. Snap shut the cutting bar, let it lock in on the right and slide the
blade button 1 to the left or right, if necessary, into the limit
stop.
If the blade button is not outside of the area of the fi lm,
no cutting will occur during the cutting process.
5. Press the blade head 1 slightly downwards onto the fi lm,
while sliding it onto the opposite side.
Use
18
Only seal fi lm
1. If necessary, press the release buttons 9 at the same time and
fl ip open the lid fl ap 2.
2. Position an open side of the fi lm above the heating element 15 ,
as shown in Fig. C.
As vacuum-sealing will not occur, the end of the fi lm does
not need to be positioned as far as the fi lm limit stops 11 . It
is suffi cient for the fi lm to be positioned approx. 1 cm over the
heating element.
3. Flip open the lid fl ap 2. In doing so, ensure that the fi lm does
not have any folds on the heating element.
4. Press down the lid fl ap on both sides and at the same time on
the points marked with the hand symbol until both locking
mechanisms audibly lock in.
5. Connect the power plug to the power supply.
6. Press the Seal sealing button 3.
The indicator lamp of the button lights up red during the
sealing process, then it fl ashes 3 x after the process and
subsequently goes out. With this, the sealing process is completed.
With the Stop button 6, the sealing process can also be ended
early.
7. Unlock the release buttons 9 by pressing the lid fl ap on both
sides and at the same time.
8. Flip open lid fl ap 2.
CAUTION!

Vacuum and seal fi lm
WARNING!
Electric shock hazard!
• Liquids (e.g. soup, sauce, meat juice) should not be vacuum-
sealed into the bag. Liquids will be sucked in an end up in the
device. If this should happen, disconnect the power plug and
do not use the device.
• Have the device inspected by a qualifi ed engineer or the Service
Centre.
The foil on the roll is tubular, i.e. in order to obtain a closed
bag, the fi lm must be sealed at both ends.
2 types of vacuuming can be performed with the device, which
are identical in terms of the operating procedure:
– With the Soft vacuuming button 4: The sealing process starts
shortly after the start of vacuuming. This prevents sensitive
foods (e.g. vegetables) being crushed. The vacuuming process
will subsequently be briefl y continued without any impact on
the fi lm content, in order to reach switch-off negative pressure.
– With the Normal vacuuming button 5: The sealing process will
occur shortly before reaching the switch-off negative pressure.
This way, a higher vacuum will be achieved in the bag.
If some liquid escapes during the vacuuming process, it will
be caught in the collection tray 16 . Check the collection tray
after every vacuuming process and remove the moisture residues.
1. Fill the bags that are sealed on one side.
In contrast to “only sealing”, the fi lm must be applied as
far as the fi lm limit stops 11, see Fig. C.
20
Use
2. Make sure that the fi lm is not covering the suction opening 17 .
3. Flip down the lid fl ap 2. In doing so, ensure that the fi lm does
not have any folds on the heating element.
4. Press down the lid fl ap on both sides and at the same time on
the points marked with the hand symbol 8 until both locking
mechanisms audibly lock in.
5. Connect the power plug to the power supply.
6. Press the Soft 4 vacuuming button or the Normal 5
vacuuming button.
The indicator lamp for the button will light up during the
vacuuming process. After a short time, the welding
process will occur and indicated by the Seal button 3 lighting
up.
Both buttons fl ash 3 x after the process is completed.
With the Stop button 6, the process can also be ended early.
7. Press the release buttons 9 on both sides at the same time, in
order to release the lid fl ap 2.
8. Flip open lid fl ap.
CAUTION!
