Forming the bag
a) Unwind the cable from the cable tidy and insert the plug into the properly wired mains socket
installed in accordance with the relevant regulations.
b) Open cover
and take the film roll out of the compartment. Unroll the film enough to ensure
that that the place where the first seal is to be made is positioned over the sealing and cutting
wires + . Place the roll back into its compartment. The double-layered plastic film is supplied
closed on the left side. This forms the underside of the bag.
c) Close the cover and press it down firmly using both hands. Make sure that you press down evenly.
To get the best results make sure that the silicone lip
is aligned precisely with the sealing and
cutting wires.
The two indicator lights and light up to show that the sealing and cutting process has begun.
The process ends as soon as the red indicator light for sealing goes out.
WARNING: The vacuum pump may run on for a short while whilst you are pressing the cover
down. This is normal and does not mean that the device is faulty.
d) Open the cover and pull the plastic film out far enough to create the desired width of bag
(max. 29 cm). Place the film on to the sealing and cutting wires.
e) Now close the cover again and proceed as described in c) above.
As soon as the red indicator light
goes out, the bag can be carefully removed from the device.
Filling the bag
The bag can now be filled. Do not fill the bag any higher than 6 cm below the top edge. Make
sure that no foodstuff or liquid contaminates the area where the final seal will be made. This can
have a detrimental effect on the quality of the seal. If you use the bag for liquids, fill it to no more
than 3/4 of its volume.
Stamping the date
a) The device has a date stamp facility. The controls for the date stamp are on the front at the left.
The controls consist of 6 small wheels, which allow you to set the numerical digits. The pairs of
numbers indicate the day, month and year.
b) Turn the small wheels until the numbers you want appear. Set up the foil roll so that the white
stripe to be stamped is on the left side of the device. Then the date will be stamped on the stripe
during the sealing process.
Sucking out the air and final seal
a) Pull the bag opening carefully over the vacuum nozzle . Ensure that the nozzle penetrates
approx. 2 cm into the inside of the bag.
b) Smooth out the bag at the position where the final seal is to be made.
c) Close the cover and press it down lightly on the left side.
The green indicator light
lights up and the air is sucked out of the bag.
d) After enough air has been sucked out, seal the bag by pressing down on the right side of the
cover whilst still pressing down on the left. The red indicator light
lights up to show that
the sealing and cutting process is operating.
The sealing and cutting process is complete when the red indicator light goes out. Open the cover
and carefully remove the bag and any bits of foil from the device.
