completed, the machine switches off automatically.
Note: It is recommended to open the lid only after a
further approx. 10 seconds, so that the welding seam can
harden optimally.
To open the unit, press the two buttons cover release
H on the left and right side of the unit. Fold the
lid Q upwards and remove the vacuum bag.
Note: It is recommended to press first the right and then
the left button to unlock the cover H . This makes it
easier to open the cover.
Note: It is recommended to wait 20 seconds between
each vacuuming and sealing operation.
Important notes:
If you have sealed 20 bags continuously, allow the unit to
cool down for about 10 minutes. You cannot start the unit
during this cooling phase. After the cooling phase you
can use the unit as usual.
The unit is not suitable for vacuuming liquid foods.
The maximum width of the vacuum bags and film rolls is
30 cm.
Use vacuum pouches for vacuuming. Simple pouches are
only suitable for sealing and not for vacuuming.
Vacuuming extends the shelf life of food, but cannot
prevent it from deterioration.
Cleaning and maintenance
Unplug the mains plug from the power supply before
cleaning.
Never immerse the device or the cable in water or
another liquid to clean them.
After the device has cooled down, use a soft sponge or
a soft cloth to clean the device surface and the vacuum
chamber O .
Do not use brushes to clean it as this could scratch the
device surface.
Use a handkerchief or a soft towel to clean food remnants
and liquids from the vacuum chamber O .
Keep the inside and the outside of the device dry so that
the device is ready for use.
Troubleshooting
The device does not function
Check to see if the device has been connected to the
power supply.
Examine the cable, the mains plug and the device for
damage. Do not use the product if it has been damaged.
A complete vacuum is not created within the bag or
automatic heat-sealing does not occur
Ensure that the open end of the vacuum bag is positioned
fully within the vacuum chamber N .
Check to see if the rubber seal K has loosened.
Ensure that there is no dirt on the heating element J or
the rubber seal K .
Check to see if the device cover is closed securely.
Ensure that no air can get into the vacuum bag through a
hole. Immerse the vacuum bag in water to test this. If air
bubbles rise up, then the bag is losing air. Get a new bag.
Air gets into the heat sealed bag after vacuuming
This problem may occur if creases, oil or other liquids are
on the heat seal surface F . Open the bag and clean the
heat seal surface I . Place the bag flat on the sealing
surface I to vacuum and heat seal it.
Check to see if air or liquid has entered the vacuum
bag because of the food product. If this is the case,
open the vacuum bag to vacuum and heat-seal it again.
Alternatively, you can use another vacuum bag. For food
products which contain a lot of water, we recommend
that you freeze the food product before vacuuming and
heat sealing it.
The vacuum process does not function perfectly
If the heating element J becomes overheated, the bag
may melt. Open the cover of the vacuum sealer and allow
the heating element J to cool down for a few minutes.
This error can occur if there are wrinkles, oil or other
liquids on the sealing support I or the heating bar J .
Clean the sealing support I or the heating bar J and
start the process again.
Note: The heating strip can become very hot. Never
touch it with your bare hand.
Wait 20 seconds after the vacuuming process is finished
before you press the heat seal button C for the next
process.
Food product shelf life
Vacuuming removes the air from food products. As
a result, oxidisation and bacterial contamination are
prevented.
