Location of Controls

Operation

Note: THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WITH THE BAGS SUPPLIED. OTHER BAGS MAY NOT SEAL CORRECTLY. CONTACT YOUR VACUUM PACK MACHINE SUPPLIER FOR SUITABLE REPLACEMENT BAGS.

Setting the Sealing Time

This appliance has three programmable sealing settings; M1-M3.

1. Connect the appliance to the mains power supply and turn the power switch On [I].

2. Raise the lid. This activates the appliance ready for use.

3. The value shown in the 'TIMER' display window is the default sealing time, shown in seconds.

Note: The default value (2 seconds) is suitable for the bags supplied by the appliance.

1. Press and hold the WELDING button. The M1 indicator flashes on the panel.

2. To adjust the sealing time, press and hold the or button until the required time is shown on the display.

Note: A period after the value (e.g. '4.) indicates an increment of half a second for more accurate timing.

1. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for M2 and M3.
2. Press and hold the WELDING button. All three indicators flash.
3. Press and hold the WELDING button again to store the sealing time presets.

Setting the Suction Time

1. Press and hold the STOP (STOP) button for two seconds. The default suction time flashes on the display.

Note: The default value is 90 seconds (CC771 is 95 seconds).

Note: Each unit is equal to 10 seconds (e.g. 4 equals 40 seconds). A period after the value (e.g. '4.') indicates an increment of five seconds for more accurate timing.

1. To adjust the sealing time, press and hold the or buttons until the required time is shown on the display. Maximum programmable time is 90 seconds.

2. Press and hold the STOP button to save the suction time and exit. The Sealing time is displayed.

WARNING: Constantly using excessive suction times will shorten the operational life of the appliance.

Vacuum Packing Food

1. Place the food inside in the bag and remove any excess liquid or food residue.
2. Lift the lid of the appliance. The lid will lock in place once lifted high enough.
3. Place the open end of the bag over the channel.
4. Lower the lid and press down gently to start the suction process. Maintain a firm pressure on the lid for best results.

Note: The process can be stopped at any time by pressing the STOP STOP button.

1. CC771 Only - The pressure within the bag is displayed before the sealing countdown begins.
2. Once the programmed suction time is reached the sealing process begins.
3. 'E' flashes on the display ('END' on CC771) when the appliance has finished sealing the bag. Lift the lid by the sides and remove the bag.

WARNING: Never lift the lid from underneath. The sealing bar remains hot.

Note: The lid may be hard to open for a few seconds after operation due to vacuum pressure. Allow the pressure to dissipate for the lid to open freely.

Safety Cut-out

This appliance is fitted with an automatic safety system to help prevent any damage from misuse.

If during suction the pressure gets too great (no air left in the bag), the appliance automatically switches to the sealing process.

Auto-Standby

The appliance will revert to standby mode if it is not used for a period of 412 minutes.
