Intermittent operation

The appliance is designed for intermittent operation only, ie it must be allowed to cool down for around 30 seconds after each cycle, before it can be used again. Also, to prevent overheating, it must be allowed to cool down for two minutes after a total operating time of 10 minutes.

Using the cutter

Caution: The cutter blade is extremely sharp

Use with bags

Preparing the bags

Put the prepared food into a bag, ensuring that the bag opening remains absolutely clean and dry.
Hint: For easy, clean filling of the bags, turn down the rim around the opening a few cm. After filling, unroll the rim again.
Fill the bags only up to max. 5 cm below the opening.
If necessary, the food may be dabbed with a kitchen towel first to remove any residual liquid from the outside

Preparing for sealing

Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
Push the ‘Release cover’ buttons on the side to open the cover.
Lift up the cover.

Air extraction and sealing

Place the filled bag with its open end connecting with the two attachment points in the vacuum chamber Ensure that the suction opening is not blocked by the bag. The bag opening must be clean and free of any wrinkles or creases where it touches the sealing bar.
Fold the cover down.
Push the outer corners of the cover firmly down until it is heard locking into place on both sides. Press the Vacuum&Seal button. The LED Vacuum&Seal remains lit until vacuuming is complete.
Ensure that the vacuum pump does not suck in any liquid. But if it does, press the Stop button immediately.
Once all the air is extracted, the bag opening is automatically sealed. The Seal LED remains lit until the sealing process is complete.
Push the ‘Release cover’ buttons on the side to open the cover and remove the sealed bag.
Hint: Keep monitoring the extraction when processing delicate foods. Once the vacuum is sufficient, use the Stop button to interrupt the suction process. Then start the sealing process manually using the Seal button.

Sealing only:
