■ 10 │ US-EN SFS 120 A2

Sealing a sealing bag

NOTES ON THE SEALING BAG

► The sealing bag width may not exceed 11.02 inches (28 cm).

Otherwise, it cannot be sealed correctly.

► Use only nylon/PE bags with a structure (points or

grooves) on one side and a thickness of approximately

0.17 - 0.29 mm (170 - 290 μ).

Otherwise the seam will not be air-tight and the appliance

may be damaged. You can recognize bags of this type

from the information on the packaging. The quality of the

seam will vary depending on the type and thickness of

the nylon.

► The supplied sealing bag roll is suitable for temperatures

between -4 °F and 212 °F (-20 °C and +100 °C).

1) Cut the desired length for your bag from the sealing bag roll

using a pair of scissors. Cut as straight as possible.

2) Open the appliance lid 1 by pressing the lid release 8 and

opening the lid 1 upwards.

3) Place the open end of the bag into the appliance so that the

opening of the bag is located centrally under the lower sealing

ring 5. The bag should be inserted no further than the rear

limiters 6 and must lie between the front limiters 7. If the bag

reaches over one or both limiters 7, then the bag cannot be

correctly sealed.

US-EN │ 11 ■

SFS 120 A2

The bag opening must lie ﬂat on the sealing wire 4. Otherwise the

sealing does not work properly.

4) Close the appliance lid 1. The press seal 0 presses the bag

onto the sealing wire 4 to create a smooth seam. Make sure

that both corners of the appliance lid 1 click when they are

closed. If necessary, press them down once again on the

markings and until the appliance lid 1 clicks into place

and locks.

5) Press the seal button w. The red indicator light q lights up.

As soon as the sealing process is ﬁnished, the red indicator

light q turns oﬀ.

You can halt the sealing process at any time by pressing the button e.

The red indicator light q turns oﬀ.

■ 12 │ US-EN SFS 120 A2

► If the red indicator light q does not turn oﬀ after a maximum of 10

seconds, there is an error with the appliance.

► Remove the plug from the power socket immediately. Do not

attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Contact the customer

service department.

6) Open the appliance lid 1 by pressing the lid release 8 and

ﬂipping the appliance lid 1 upwards. Remove the bag. It is now

sealed at one end.

Ensure that the seam is properly sealed. A correct seam should be a

smooth, straight stripe without any creases.

7) Fill the bag. You must leave at least 2.4 in (6 cm) of the bag

free up to the edge to be sealed.

► Fill the bag so that no food or liquids can leak out during sealing

and get into the appliance.

8) If you do not want to vacuum the bag, you can now seal the

other, open side.

Wait 15 seconds before you start to seal another bag. The appliance

needs to cool down.

During this cooling down period, the appliance cannot be started:

As soon as you press the seal button w, the red indicator light q and

the green indicator light t are ﬂashing.

After the cooling down period, you can use the appliance again.

US-EN │ 13 ■

SFS 120 A2

Vacuuming the sealing bag

You can also suck the air out of the bag (vacuum) during sealing:

► Do not vacuum bags that contain liquids.

The liquids will get into the appliance and damage it.

1) Place the open end of the bag into the appliance so that the

opening of the bag is located centrally under the lower sealing

ring 5. The bag should be inserted no further than the rear

limiters 6 and must lie between the front limiters 7. Otherwise,

the vacuuming and sealing will not function correctly:

2) Close the appliance lid 1. Make sure that both corners of the

appliance lid 1 click when they are closed. If necessary, press

them down once again on the markings and so that the

appliance lid 1 clicks into place and locks.

■ 14 │ US-EN SFS 120 A2

Ensure that the upper 9 and the lower sealing rings 5 are not damaged!

Otherwise, the appliance cannot suck the air out of the bag.

If one of the sealing rings 9/5 is damaged, pull the damaged one out

of its recess and push the replacement sealing ring into this recess.

3) Press the vacuum/sealing button r. The green indicator

light t lights up and the appliance sucks the air out of the bag.

As soon as all the air is sucked out, the red indicator light q

lights up. The appliance now seals the bag.

4) If both indicator lights q/t have turned oﬀ, you can open

the lid by pressing the lid release 8 and ﬂipping the appliance

lid 1 upwards. Remove the vacuum-sealed bag.

You can stop the air extraction process at any time by pressing the stop

button e. The green indicator light t will then turn oﬀ. Press the vacuum/

sealing button r again to resume the extraction process.

If the appliance has already switched to the sealing process and the red

indicator light q is lit, the process can be stopped with the stop button e.

The appliance then stops the sealing process.

After you have sealed and vacuumed 5 bags, you must wait 1 minute

before you can start sealing/vacuuming another bag. The appliance

needs to cool down.

During this cooling down period, the appliance cannot be started:

As soon as you press the seal button w or the vacuum/sealing but-

ton r, the red indicator light q and the green indicator light t begin to

ﬂash. After the cooling down period, you can use the appliance again.

TIP – "SOUS-VIDE COOKING"

► Since the supplied nylon bag is suitable for temperatures

between -4 °F and 212 °F (-20 °C and 100 °C), it can

be used for the so-called "sous-vide" cooking process (vac-

uum cooking). "Sous-vide" is French and means "under

vacuum".

In vacuum cooking, the food (usually ﬁsh or meat, but

vegetables can also be used) is vacuum-sealed in a bag

and then cooked in water or steam cooked at a relatively

low temperature (122 °F to 194 °F resp. 50 °C to 90 °C).

The advantage of this is that ﬂavors or aroma are not lost

during cooking. The food does not dry out and the vita-

mins and ﬂavors are preserved. Herbs or spices that are

vacuum-sealed in the bag with the food give oﬀ a more

intense ﬂavor.

Cleaning

Risk of fatal injury from electrocution!

► Remove the plug from the power socket before beginning to clean

the appliance.

► Ensure that no moisture can penetrate the appliance during cleaning.

Possible damage to the appliance.

► Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents, as these may

corrode the surface of the casing.

► Do not use any hard or sharp objects to remove any adhesive from

the sealing wire 4. Otherwise the sealing wire 4 or the insulation

could be damaged.

Cleaning the appliance

♦ Clean the surface of the appliance housing with a lightly damp

cloth and a mild detergent.

♦ Wipe oﬀ the upper 9 and the lower sealing rings 5 as well

as the press seal 0 with a damp cloth. Ensure that the appli-

ance is dry before using it again.

■ 16 │ US-EN SFS 120 A2

Storage

The appliance has a built-in cord retainer 3 on the underside of

the housing, around which you can wrap the power cord when it

is not in use. This prevents the power cord from getting caught or

getting dirty, or becoming a source of hazard by hanging loosely.

Possible damage to the appliance.

► Do not click-close the appliance lid 1 for storage! When the

appliance lid 1 is click-closed, it exerts permanent pressure on the

upper 9 and lower sealing rings 5 as well as the press seal 0.

This can negatively aﬀect their function.

♦ Store the appliance in a clean, dry place, away from direct

sunlight.

Disposal

Electrical appliances may not be thrown away as part of normal

household trash. If you can no longer use your electrical appli-

ance, dispose of it in accordance with the legal provisions appli-

cable in your state. This will ensure that old electrical appliances

are recycled and environmental pollution is kept to a minimum.

Further information about disposal is available on the Internet at

www.epa.gov.

The packaging is made of environmentally friendly materials that

can be disposed of at your local recycling center.
