Operation

Making a bag with a bag roll

Put one end of the bag on top of the sealing element, without reaching the vacuum chamber (Fig. 1).
Close the cover and press tightly till you hear it click into place on both sides (Fig. 2).
Press Seal button to start sealing a bag (Fig. 3). The seal indicator turns blue.
After sealing has been completed press the release buttons to open the cover (Fig. 4) and take the bag out of the appliance. The bag is ready for vacuum sealing.

**NOTICE** The appliance does not start sealing again within 15 seconds of the last cycle.

Vacuum sealing with a bag

**NOTICE**

Only use vacuum bags provided or other similar bags that are suitable for vacuum sealing (max. width 28cm).

Put suitable foodstuff inside the bag.
Clean and straighten the open end of a bag. Make sure there is no dust, wrinkles or ripples.
Place the open end of a bag in the vacuum chamber area. Make sure the air intake is not covered by a bag (Fig. 5).
Close the cover and press tightly till you hear it click into place on both sides (Fig. 6).
Select the vacuuming mode using the Dry/Moist button. The Moist program runs longer than the Dry program.
Press the Vacuum & Seal button to start vacuuming and sealing the bag automatically (Fig. 7).
The vacuum packing is done. Press the release buttons on both sides of the appliance simultaneously to open the cover and take out the sealed bag (Fig. 8).

**Note** This product produces very high vacuum pressure during vacuum packing. In order to avoid crushing delicate item(s), press the Seal button immediately when the desired vacuum pressure is reached. The appliance then stops the pump and starts to seal the bag.

Vacuuming food in a canister (not provided)

Wipe clean canister cover and canister base. Ensure they are clean and dry.
Put the foodstuff into the canister leaving at least 1cm of space between foodstuff and the cover rim. Make sure there is no food residues on the rim of the canister and seal gasket of the canister cover, otherwise the pressure might not build up.
Open the cover of the appliance.

Press the Pulse Vacuum button to start vacuuming. The appliance stops automatically when enough vacuum pressure is reached.
Pull out the hose while keeping the cover steady.

Risk Of burns!
Do not to press the Seal button once the cover is open to avoid getting burned by the sealing element.

Tips

Leave enough empty space in the open end of the bag so that it can be placed in the vacuum chamber area without creating wrinkles or ripples.
The presence of water or moisture at the open end of the bag, may cause the sealing process to fail. When sealing wet bags or bags with moist food, select the Moist program. The sealing process runs for longer, allowing the appliance to thoroughly seal the bags.
Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing. Make sure nothing is left in the open end of the bag, no wrinkle or creased lines should appear, foreign objects or creased bag may cause difficulty to seal tightly.
Press the bag to allow extra air escape from it before vacuuming.
Do not vacuum pack objects with sharp edges like fish bones or hard shells, as they may tear the bag. Use a container instead to store such foodstuff or pad the sharp edges with a paper towel.
If the bag is not vacuumed sufficiently within 60 seconds, the appliance shuts off automatically. Check if there is a leak, if the cover is properly closed, or if a bag is placed correctly in the vacuum chamber.
Make sure that the upper and lower gasket is clean and has no cracks or deformations.
During bag vacuum packing, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be pulled into the vacuum chamber, which may clog the pump and damage the appliance. To avoid this, freeze moist and juicy foodstuff, place a folded paper towel near the inside top of a bag. For powdery or fine-grained foodstuff, avoid overfilling a bag. Alternatively, place a coffee filter inside a bag before vacuum packing.
Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum packing for best results.
Liquids need to be cooled before vacuum packing.
Store perishable foods In the freezer or refrigerator. Vacuum packing extend the shelf life of foods, but do not preserve them.
Many foodstuff are sold pre-packed in commercial vacuum bags such as cheese and deli meats You can maintain the taste and freshness re-packaging them with the vacuum sealing bags after the commercially packed bags have been opened.
Do not put the sealed bag directly Into a microwave oven or in hot water to heat up and cook the foodstuff. Cut the bag open before doing so. Risk of bag rupture and consecutive risk of burns.
Do not vacuum package fresh fruits and vegetables e.g. apples, oranges, carrots, shelled raw peanuts etc. After being vacuum packed, they breath out nitrogen Inside the bag which may cause bad rupture and leakage. Cooked vegetables e.g. boiled carrots can be vacuum packed without an issue.

**NOTICE** After finishing the vacuum sealing, keep the cover open until the sealing element cools. Keeping the cover dosed may deform the foam gaskets and sealing strip.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Before cleaning always remove the plug from the power supply.
During cleaning do not immerse the electrical parts of the appliance in water or other liquids. Never hold the appliance under running water.

Clean the appliance and accessories with a slightly moistened cloth (the sealing strip, lower and upper gaskets can be removed for cleaning). Do not allow any water or other liquids enter the appliance’s interior.
Do not use abrasives, harsh cleaning solutions or hard brushes for cleaning.
Let all parts dry afterwards.

**NOTICE** When re-assembling the sealing strip, lower and upper gaskets, make sure they are correctly placed. Otherwise the correct vacuuming pressure may not be reached.

Cleaning the vacuum bags

Clean the bags in warm water with a mild dishwashing soap.
When cleaning the bags in a dishwasher, tum the bags inside out and spread them over the top rack of a dishwasher, so the entire inner surface is exposed to the washing water.
