This text is for users in countries except European countries:
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of expe-
rience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
ATTENTION: Do not store the machine with the LOCK buttons hooked. After several uses, the seals (6) may
become worn and the machine in stand-by may switch on accidentally. In this case, you must replace the
seals, as they are considered consumable materials and are not under warranty.
Before use, always thoroughly clean your appliance and any accessories coming in contact with food (contain-
ers, caps, jars etc.) as directed in the "INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING" paragraph.
1 Positioning the appliance
Position the appliance in a dry place on a level surface, making sure that the work area in front of the appliance
itself is clear of obstacles and there is enough room to accommodate the bags with the food to be packed. Plug the
power cord into a power socket corresponding to the voltage of the appliance (see technical details).
2 Tips on using bags
The bags are available in two widths: 20 and 30 cm. Choose the bag size suited for the food you intend to preserve.
Check that the bag you are going to use is at least 8 cm longer than the food to be packaged, taking into account
an additional 2 cm for each time the bag will be subsequently reused.
3 Making bags from rolls
- Unroll a bag of suitable length and cut it as shown in Fig. A. Now you can seal an open side of the cut bag as
follows:
- Lift the lid (1) and turn it in the open position.
- Seal either of the two open ends of the bag by positioning it on the sealing gasket (7) with the smooth side facing
down (fig. C1).
Attention: do not allow the bag to protrude into the vacuum chamber (8) or on the seal (6). See the green dotted
line (fig. C1)
- Close the cover (1), put pressure on the two opposite ends and hook in by pressing the LOCK (4) buttons, see (fig.
C2). The unit will automatically start the packing cycle and will stop at the end of the cycle.
- Press down on the rounded recessed area of the manual valve (2) to release the lid.
- Lift the lid and turn it in the open position.
Use only original bags and accessories
