Vacuum drawer

HOT SURFACE!
Danger – risk of burns!
The sealing strip of the vacuum chamber gets very hot.

The sealing seam of the vacuum sealer bags is strongly heated during the sealing process as well. Do not touch the hot sealing strip or other accessible parts. You could suffer a burn. Watch any children and keep them away from the appliance

DANGER OF FIRE!
Danger – risk of fire!
The sealing strip can get very hot. Do not keep highly flammable substances in the vicinity of the appliance. This poses a fire and explosion hazard due to the vapors.

WARNING!
Danger – risk of injury!
Check the appliance before each use for damage. Do not use in case of damage. Contact customer service
In particular, check the glass lid of the appliance for even the smallest cracks and fissures. It could implode when the vacuum is connected. For this reason, the appliance must not be operated anymore when the lid is damaged. Disconnect it and contact customer service.

Vacuuming glassware with screw-on lids:

Only use glassware that is in impeccable condition. Make sure before closing the lid that the jars are not too tall. In order to avoid damaging the appliance, the distance between screw-on lid and appliance lid must be at least 1 cm.
Never insert hoses connected to the appliance into bodily openings!

WARNING!
Danger – risk of death! – Suffocation hazard!
Keep packaging parts out of reach of children.
Foils and parts, especially small parts, may be hazardous or might be swallowed.

Causes of damage

Never pack products that might get damaged by vacuum-packing.
You could get injured or might damage the appliance.
Under vacuum conditions, fluids already start to boil at low temperatures. In the process, steam escapes and malfunctions of the appliance may result.
Exclusively vacuum-pack cooled foods.
Watch the vacuuming process carefully and seal the bag early if bubbles start to form. To stay on the safe side, we recommend to vacuum-pack fluids in sturdy customary vacuuming containers.
Make sure that during the vacuuming process and during cleaning, no water gets into the interior of the appliance and the suction point of the vacuum pump. This may cause damage to the pump.
You may use nothing but a soft, moderately damp cloth for cleaning. Never hose down your appliance with water, and do not use a steam cleaner.
Do not misuse the appliance as a worktop, storage space, or seat. Do not put anything on the glass lid of the appliance, especially no extremely hot or cold objects. Take care that no objects fall on top of the glass lid. It could suffer damage. Close the drawer when the appliance is not in use.
Open and close it slowly when in operation and slide it all the way in or out.
The vacuum in the vacuuming chamber is maintained during a power outage during the vacuuming process. Do not try in any case to open the glass lid using tools. Wait until the power has returned, and restart the vacuuming process.
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass of the appliance’s lid. Resulting scratches on the surface may damage the glass and lead to malfunction or risk of injury.
Check the correct placement of the rubber gasket of the glass lid. Take care that the bed of the rubber gasket is clean and clear of objects. This could impair the appliance’s function.

NOTE!
Caution: Do not operate the appliance if the rubber gasket is defective. You could damage the appliance or suffer an injury. Please contact customer service.

Do not damage the glass chamber’s rubber gasket, especially not with pointy or sharp objects.
Clean the glass lid’s rubber gasket with a damp cloth and a little dish detergent.
Do not use any sharp or aggressive detergents.
Never vacuum-pack living goods.

NOTE!
If you decide to discontinue using the appliance because of a fault, we recommend you cut off the cable after removing the plug from the plug socket. Take the appliance to your municipality’s waste disposal site.

Vacuuming
Positioning a vacuum sealer bag

▷ Low: for delicate products (bread, soft fruit/vegetables)
▷ Middle: for soft products (liquids, fish, prepared products)
▷ High: for firm products (firm vegetables, meat, dry products)

Press the Sealing Time touch key a number of times to select a closure time (sealing time). Select from 3 sealing times. The proper sealing time depends on the thickness of the vacuum sealer bag.

Press the Start touch key to start the vacuuming process. Vacuuming stops automatically when the vacuum level has been reached.

WARNING!
Fittings to connect external vacuuming accessories to the hose for use in external vacuuming are not included with the vacuum drawer. These are dependent on the type of vacuuming accessory.

Vacuuming failure

If the vacuum drawer cannot vacuum the vacuum chamber, this can be caused by the following issues:

The lid is not or insufficiently pushed in when starting vacuuming.
- The Vacuuming Failure indicator lights up. Push the lid on the front into the rubber gasket properly.
The oil of the vacuum pump necessary for vacuuming contains moisture.
- The Vacuuming Failure indicator and the Dry Run Function indicator light up.
- Start the Dry Run Function.
  NOTE!
  If the vacuuming fails a number of times, then the Vacuuming Failure indicator and the Dry Run Function indicator light up. It is then advised to perform the Dry Run Function.
A failure has occurred.
- Call a service organization

WARNING!
If the Vacuum Failure indicator and Dry Run Function indicator are ignored, the drawer can no longer be operated after a certain number of warnings (except the Dry Run Function). It is then necessary to start the Dry Run Function to be able to use the drawer again.

Starting Dry Run Function

After using the vacuum drawer for a period of time, there will be moisture in the oil of the vacuum pump. Because of this, the device may vacuum insufficiently. It is then advised to perform the Dry Run Function. If vacuuming does not work, then the Vacuuming Failure indicator and the Dry Run Function indicator light up. After a number of warnings (Vacuuming Failure indicator and Dry Run Function indicator lighting up), it is advised to perform the Dry Run Function.

Press the Dry Run Function touch key to start the Dry Run Function.
Immediately afterwards, shortly press on the front of the lid so that the vacuum chamber can vacuum.
• The Dry Run Function symbol flashes during drying.

WARNING!

If the Dry Run Function does not completely remove the moisture from the oil after a maximum of 20 minutes, then the drawer switches to a ‘cool off’ setting. The vacuum drawer can then not be used for a period of one hour. The Dry Run Function indicator is visible in the display.
After that, start the Dry Run Function again!
Regular use of the Dry Run Function is part of the normal operation of the vacuum drawer.
