How to use the Laica VT3217 vacuum sealer with bags?

Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, lower the lid and lock the handle. Press the Automatic/STOP button to start the automatic vacuum and sealing cycle. Wait until the lights turn off, then open the lid.

How to select the sealing type?

Use the Sealing setting button to choose between single (dry foods), double (moist foods), and double extended (very moist foods or meats). The selection is stored as long as the appliance is plugged in.

Can I use containers with this appliance?

Yes, use the supplied tube to connect the appliance to Laica containers. Fill the container to within 2 cm of the rim, close the lid, plug the tube into the Canister port and press the Canister button to start vacuuming.

How to vacuum seal liquids?

First freeze the liquid for 12 to 19 hours in a suitable container, then place it in a bag and proceed with normal vacuum sealing. Then keep in the freezer.

What to do if vacuuming is not complete?

Check that the bag is not punctured or incorrectly positioned. Make sure the inside of the bag is clean and wrinkle-free. You can also use the Pulse vacuum mode to manually control the vacuum.

How to clean the vacuum sealer?

Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Remove the drip tray and wash it under running water. Clean the sealing bar once cool with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive products.

The appliance does not start, what to do?

Check that the plug is properly inserted into an electrical outlet. If the thermal protection has been triggered, let the appliance cool down for at least 30 minutes before trying again.

The bag does not seal properly, why?

Make sure the bag edge is clean, dry and wrinkle-free. Check that the bag is correctly positioned in the vacuum chamber. If the problem persists, reduce the sealing time by selecting a shorter mode.

Where can I find spare parts?

Sealing gaskets and the sealing bar gasket are available under code AH1046 and the drip tray under code A-1044. Contact your dealer or Laica customer service.

The appliance gets very hot, is this normal?

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

PREPARATION

- Before each use, thoroughly clean the appliance as described in the section "maintenance".

- Place the appliance on a flat, rigid surface, leaving a sufficient clear space in front of the device in which to place the bags containing the food to be packed.

- Check that the drip tray is inserted in its slot.

- Connect the appliance to a power socket

- Insert the food to be packed evenly in the bag. Check that the bag is 8 cm longer than the food to be preserved.

- Lift the lid.

It is possible to select the sealing time of the appliance and the number of

seas to be made based on the food being packed (see section "Description of functions"). The machine is automatically set to the "Scaling selling single" function by default. To change the settings, over the handle. Once the selection has been changed, it is saved until the appliance is disconnected from the power socket.

USE WITH BAGS

1. Position the open end of the bag inside the vacuum chamber as shown in figure 2. With bags that have only one embossed side, position the smooth side facing upwards.

Make sure the inside of the bag, in the point where it will be sealed, is clean and free at any food residue. The bag must be perfectly stretched and unwrinkled.

1. Lower the lid and hook it to the base of the machine, pressing the handle downward: the "Sealing setting" key light turns on indicating the previously made selection ("single - double - double extended").

2. Press the "Automatic/STOP" key to start the automatic air extraction and sealing procedure: the "Automatic/STOP" key light turns on. During the sealing phase, the light on the "Seal" key will come on.

3. Wall until the indicator lights turn off. Open the lid by lifting the handle.

4. Check that the bag is properly sealed and place it in the refrigerator, freezer or storeroom.

USE WITH ROLLS

Using the roll, it is possible to prepare bags of the desired length specific to the type of food being stored.

1. Lift the lid.

2. Determine the length of the bag by considering the length of the food being preserved and adding at least 8 cm.

3. Cut the roll to the desired length using the supplied cutter.

4. Position one of the two open ends of the bag on the sealing bar. With rolls that have only one embossed side, position the smooth side facing upwards.

5. The bag must not protrude from the vacuum chamber / drip tray or on the gasket seal.

6. Make sure that the bag is fully stretched out, clean and unwrinkled.

7. Lower the lid and hook it to the base of the machina, pressing the handle downward; the "Sealing setting" key light turns on indicating the previously made selection ("single - double - double extended").

8. Press the "Seal" key to start sealing. When the indicator light turns off, sealing is complete. Open the lid by lifting the handle.

9. Check that the bag is properly sealed

10. Continue as described in the section "USE WITH BAGS".

PARTIAL VACUUM

Total air extraction using the automatic method tends to crush more delicate and fragile foods (such as strawberries, berries, breadsticks, vegetables, etc.) in these cases, it is therefore possible to use the manual vacuum, interrupting air extraction when necessary.

1. Position the bag and secure the lid of the machine as described in points 1 and 2 of the section "Use with bags".

A vacuum can be manually generated in two ways:

a. Press the "Automatic/STOP" key to start extracting the air. Keep a close eye on the air being extracted from the bag, and when necessary stop the vacuum process by pressing the "Seal" key.

b. Press the "Pulse vacuum" key to extract the air, and when necessary stop the vacuum process by pressing the "Sea" key.

1. Lift the lid and check that the bag is properly sealed.

USE WITH CONTAINERS (not supplied)

Using Laica canisters.

Before each use, make sure that the lid, canister and canister seal are completely clean and dry.

1. Fill the canister up to a maximum of 2 cm below the top edge.

2. Put the lid on and, for the VT3304 model only, turn the air valve on the lid to the "SEAL" position.

3. Connect the canister tube by inserting one of the two ends into the socket located on the machine lid, and the other end into the socket located on the canister lid.

4. Hook the Id onto the base of the machine by lowering the locking handle.

5. Press the "Canistar" key to start the automatic air extraction procedure:

the indicator light on the key will come on. Wait until the indicator light goes out.

1. Extract the tube from the canister, place the canister back in the fridge, freezer or storeroom.

To place liquids under vacuum, they need to be frozen first.

Place the liquid food in a suitable canister, place it in the freezer for approximately 12-18 hours, then take it out of the canister and place it in a vacuum bag. Extract the air and seal the bag as described in the section "user instructions - use with bags"; then place the bag back in the freezer.

MAINTENANCE

- Before and after use, clean the appliance with a dry or slightly damp cloth, taking care not to allow liquids to enter the appliance.

- After each use, remove any residual nylon (bag) from the sealing bar using a soft cloth being careful not to damage it. Clean the sealing bar only once it is cooled.

- After every use, remove the drip tray and wash it thoroughly under running water to remove any liquid residue. Make sure it is perfectly dry before putting it back in its slot.

- Never use chemicals or abrasive products.

- Store the appliance in a cool, dry place.

Do not store the device with the locking handle lowered in order to prevent the deformation of the sealing gasket and gaskets.
