4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

Adjustment

Before using it for the first time, make sure 

that the vacuum chamber and the appliance 

parts which come into contact with the food 

are clean. Follow the cleaning instructions in 

the 

"5. Maintenance and Cleaning"

section.

Vacuum packing

1.  Put the appliance in a dry place. Make 

sure that the work area in front of the 

appliance is obstacle free and is wide 

enough for the food bags. Plug it in.

2.  Make sure that the bag you want to use 

is at least 8 cm (3.1 in.) longer than the 

food. If you want to reuse the bag, you 

must take into account that you will 

need 2 cm more (0.8 in.) each time you 

want to reuse it.

3.  Raise the cover 

(F)

 and place the food 

inside the bag, taking care not to cause 

wrinkles or tension on the surface. 

Remove the liquids or the residue from 

the food inside the bag which is about to 

be sealed. Put the bag with its contents in 

front of the machine positioning it inside 

the vacuum chamber 

(H) (Figure 2)

. 

IMPORTANT: Make sure the bag is 

centred in the vacuum sealer.

4.  Make sure both sides of the bag are 

inside the sealing area but under the 

vacuum nozzle

 (L)

, as this nozzle is the 

vacuum pump hole. 

5.  Close the lid and press down on both 

sides of it in the areas with the raised 

dots, until you hear the two clicks 

indicating the lid has closed.

 (FIG 3)

6.  Press the “vacuum sealing button” 

(A)

. 

The appliance will automatically vacuum 

seal the bag.

7.  If you need to stop the vacuum sealing 

operation for any reason (e.g. if the bag 

is not correctly placed), press the 

"Stop" 

button 

(C)

.

8.  When the vacuum 

(D)

 and sealing 

(E) 

pilot lights switch off, press the two lid 

opening buttons 

(K). (FIG 4)

9.  Check the appearance of the sealed 

bag; it should have a tape along the 

sealing and no wrinkles; if not, the 

sealing is possibly not complete.

10. We recommend vacuum sealing only 

one bag a minute, to give the appliance 

time to recover.

11. We recommend you leave the appliance 

to stand for 15 minutes after vacuum 

sealing 10 bags consecutively. This will 

prolong the lifetime of your appliance.

Recommendation:

 If the food you are 

sealing have sharp edges, such as bones, 

spaghetti or seafood, put kitchen paper 

around these edges to avoid them ripping 

the bag.

Information on the bags

packing. However,
