USE

• Extend the cable completely before plugging it in.
• Connect the appliance to the mains.

HOW TO PRODUCE THE VACUUM USING A PACKAGING BAG

• Place the food to be packed inside the bag. Do not fill the bag to the limit; always leave a space of at least 5 cm.
• Open the cover of the vacuum packing machine by pressing the two side buttons.
• Insert the top part of the bag into the vacuum channel (B). To obtain good sealing, the bag must be free of creases.
• Close the cover by pressing the two ends of the appliance downwards until the packing machine is firmly closed.
• Select the type of food you have (Dry/Wet) by pressing the button (H).
• Press the button (F) for the vacuum function. When the blue light turns off, proceed to the next step.
• Press button (G) for the sealing function. When the blue light turns off, the sealing is complete.
• You can also perform the vacuum and sealing function automatically by pressing the button (l). When the blue light turns off, the operation is completed
• Open the cover by pressing the two side buttons.

HOW TO PROCEDURE THE VACUUM USING THE PACKAGING ROLLSS

• Cut to desired size.
• Make the seal at one of the ends to obtain the packing bag.
• Open the cover of the vacuum packing machine by pressing the two side buttons.
• Insert one of the open parts of the bag into the sealing band without the bag entering the vacuum channel. To achieve a good seal, the bag must be free of wrinkles.
• Close the lid by pressing the two ends of the appliance down until the packaging machine is tightly closed.
• Press button (G) for the sealing function. When the light turns off, the sealing is complete.
• You can keep your hands pressing the cap for a better seal.
• To vacuum pack, follow the instructions above.

TIP FOR MAKING A BETTER VACUUM

• Do not fill the bag to the limit; always leave a space of at least 5 cm.
• To obtain a good seal, the top of the bag must be clean and free of creases.
• Do not wet the open end of the bag.
• Do not leave too much air in the bag. Press on the bag so that the excess of air can escape before vacuum packing.

• Do not vacuum pack sharply pointed objects as they can puncture and tear the bag.

• We recommended vacuum packing and sealing only one bag per minute to allow the appliance to recover sufficiently.

• If for any reason the necessary vacuum is not obtained, the vacuum system will automatically disconnect after 45 seconds. In this case, check whether the bag has a leak or is not properly positioned.

ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING THE APPLIANCE

• Unplug the appliance from the mains.
  Put the cable back in the cable housing.
  Clean the appliance.

Cleaning

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
  Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a few drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
• Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products, for cleaning the appliance.
• Never submerge the appliance in water or any other liquid or place it under running water.

CLEANING THE VACUUM CHAMBER

• Open the cover of the vacuum packing machine by pressing the two side buttons.

• With a cloth or damped sponge and soap.

TROUBLESHOOTING IF NOTHING HAPPENS ON PRESSURISING THE PACKING MACHINE

• Make sure the electrical cord is properly plugged into the mains.
• Check the cord and the mains socket and make sure these are not damaged in any way.
• If you find any damage do not use the packing machine.

THE AIR HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETELY EXPELLED FROM THE BAG

• For correct packing the end of the bag must remain inside the vacuum chamber.
• Check for possible dirt on the sealing band or in the vacuum chamber. If there is any dirt, clean them and reposition them in their locations.
• The bag may be punctured. To check this, seal the bag with a little air inside, submerge it in water and apply pressure. If bubbles form, this means that there is a leak. Use another bag.
• Check that the cover is completely closed.

THE BAGS OF THE PACKING MACHINE LOSE VACUUM AFTER SEALING

• Creases, crumbs, grease or liquids may be released from the sealed

area. Before resealing, reopen the bag, clean the top part and smooth the area of the sealing band.

• Food with excess liquid may be frozen before vacuum packing.
• Check whether any article with sharp-pointed corners has been able to puncture the bag.

THE SEALING BAND DOES NOT SEAL THE BAG

• If the sealing band reheats and melts the bag, lift the cover and allow the packing machine to cool for a few minutes.
  After 20 seconds have passed, try again.
