dues from the area inside the bag that will be sealed.
- Place the bag and its contents in front of the appliance and place the open end inside the vacuum chamber (8)
with the smooth side facing down (fig. D1).
ATTENTION: have the end of the bag protrude inside the VACUUM CHAMBER. See the green dotted line (fig. D1)

5 Vacuum packing in Executive containers or in containers sealed with Universal Caps
Executive containers and the Universal Caps with star-shaped knob (see fig. E1) make vacuum packing easier,
because the connection hose can be directly introduced into the knob central hole (see fig. E2).
Universal Caps, available in two diameters (100 mm and 125 mm), are to be used on jars for preserving food and
bowls and receptacles made of tempered glass. The Universal Caps work just like the Caps for Executive contain-
ers.
WARNING: When using Universal Caps do not use plastic or glass containers that are not suitable since they
could implode under the vacuum pressure of the appliance and cause injury.
- Fill the container leaving at least 3 cm of room between the contents and upper rim. Place the lid on the container
and turn the knob to the "VACUUM" position (fig. E1).
- Connect the container lid knob to the appliance air inlet (3) by means of the connection hose (fig. E2).
- Lock the lid (1) by pushing the LOCK buttons (4); the machine will carry out a vacuum packing cycle and turn off
automatically on its completion.
- Remove the hose from the container lid knob.
- Turn the knob to the "CLOSED" position.
- To open the containers turn the knob to the "OPEN" position, you should hear a hissing of air as it enters the
container. This sound guarantees that the contents have been packed in a vacuum.
6 Vacuum packing in Family containers
Multipurpose containers ideal for storage of frequently used products such as dry and fragile foods; powder
foodstuffs; fresh, pureed or strained fruit and vegetables. Their transparency and design makes them attractive to
display on kitchen shelves while ensuring that their contents are clearly visible.
- Fill the container leaving at least 3 cm of room between the contents and upper rim and position the cap on the
container.
- Connect the container lid to the air inlet (3) of the appliance (fig. F) by means of the connection hose (15).
- Lock the lid (1) by pushing the LOCK buttons (4); the machine will carry out a vacuum packing cycle and turn off
automatically on its completion.
- Remove the hose from the container lid.
- Press the central button (16) to open the containers (fig. F).
7 Vacuum packing in glass jars sealed with metal caps (Leifheit type)
Use the cap attachment to pack foods in glass jars with a metal cap.
- Fill the container leaving at least 3 cm of room between the contents and upper rim.
- Connect the cap attachment (17) to the air inlet (3) of the appliance by means of the connection hose (15). Place
the cap attachment directly on the jar with the metal cap only (18) and press down, making sure it fits correctly.
(fig. G1)
- Lock the lid (1) by pushing the LOCK buttons (4); the machine will carry out a vacuum packing cycle and turn off
automatically on its completion. Make sure that the cap attachment holds firmly by keeping it pressed with your
hand.
- Disconnect the hose from the cap attachment. Remove the cap attachment from the jar.
- Apply the ring (19) supplied with the jar and screw it down all the way (fig. G1).
- To open a glass jar vacuum-sealed with a metal cap, use the cap opener provided (the side with writing should
be turned up). Position the cap opener as shown in (fig. G2) and gently pry open the cap until the vacuum is
released. Remove the metal cap. This accessory allows you to reuse the cap.
8 Vacuum packing with bottle caps
The Bottle Cap may be used to seal partly filled bottles of wine or non-fizzy beverages. Using the Bottle Cap will
allow you to create a vacuum inside the bottle so as to slow down oxidisation and preserve the freshness and
flavour of its contents for a longer time.
- By means of the connection hose (15) connect the air inlet (3) of the appliance to the Bottle Cap (20) (fig. H). Press
the Cap firmly into the bottle.
