Functions

Vacuuming

Connect the device to the power supply and place the opening of the vacuum bag in the vacuum chamber 11.
Close the device cover by firmly pressing both sides of the cover down until you hear “clicking” sound. Press the vacuum button 2 to switch on the vacuum pump. The LED 5 will light up blue during this process. (The vacuum value reaches up to -50 kPa.)
As soon as it has finished vacuuming, the heat sealing process will begin automatically. When this step has finished, the device will switch off automatically and the blue LED 5 will fade out.

Note: In the case of an emergency you can switch off the device at any time using the stop button 1.

Note: The vacuuming process can take up to 2 minutes. If a complete vacuum cannot be created within a vacuum bag, after 2 minutes the display 5 will flash blue. Press the vacuum button 2 again. The heat sealing process will begin automatically after this.

Press the stop button1 to interrupt the process for products which are not meant to be completely vacuumed.
Then, press the heat seal button to continue the process.

When the heat sealing process has finished, the device will stop automatically.

Note: We recommend that you wait 20 seconds between individual vacuuming and heat sealing processes.

Heat sealing

Connect the device to the power supply and place the opening of the bag to be heat sealed in the vacuum chamber 11.
Press the heat seal button ^3 to close the bag directly without vacuuming beforehand.

Note: We recommend that you wait 20 seconds between individual vacuuming and heat sealing processes.

Cutting

The vacuum packaging device is equipped with a cutter 9. Lift up the cutter 9 and insert the vacuum film. Close the cutter 9 to hold the film in place. Slide the cutter 9 to the side and cut the film.

Note: The cutter is sharp. To prevent cut injuries do not touch it.

Creating a vacuum bag from a roll of film yourself

Open the cover and use the cutter ^9 to cut off the required amount of vacuum film.
Place each film end flat on the heat seal surface 6 and hold the film in place.
Close the device cover by firmly pressing both sides of the cover down until you hear "clicking" sound.
Connect the device to the power supply and press the heat seal button 3. The LED will light up blue. Heat sealing takes about 6 to 8 seconds. The blue LED goes off and the device will switch off automatically. It is recommended to open the cover after a further approx. 10 seconds, so that the welding seam can solidify optimally.

Press the cover release (we recommend pressing the right button and then the left one for the cover release 4. It is easier to open the cover this way). Open the cover and remove the vacuum bag.

Important notes:

The device is not suitable for vacuuming liquid food products.
The width of the vacuum bag and rolls of film should be up to 30 cm maximum.
Use a vacuum bag to vacuum. Normal bags are only suitable for heat-sealing and not for vacuuming.
Vacuuming prolongs the shelf life of food products but cannot prevent them from spoiling.

Cleaning and maintenance

○ Unplug the mains plug from the power supply before cleaning.
Never immerse the device or the cable in water or another liquid to clean them.
After the device has cooled down, use a soft sponge or a soft cloth to clean the device surface and the vacuum chamber 11.
Do not use brushes to clean it as this could scratch the device surface.
Use a handkerchief or a soft towel to clean food remnants and liquids from the vacuum chamber 11.
Keep the inside and the outside of the device dry so that the device is ready for use.

Troubleshooting

The device does not function

- Check to see if the device has been connected to the power supply.

Examine the cable, the mains plug and the device for damage.

Do not use the product if it has been damaged.

A complete vacuum is not created within the bag or automatic heat-sealing does not occur

☐ Ensure that the open end of the vacuum bag is positioned fully within the vacuum chamber 11.
☐ Check to see if the rubber seal has loosened.
☐ Ensure that there is no dirt on the heating element ⑦ or the rubber seal ⑧.
- Check to see if the device cover is closed securely.
- Ensure that no air can get into the vacuum bag through a hole. Immerse the vacuum bag in water to test this. If air bubbles rise up, then the bag is losing air. Get a new bag.

Air gets into the heat sealed bag after vacuuming

This problem may occur if creases, oil or other liquids are on the heat seal surface 6. Open the bag and clean the heat seal surface 6. Place the bag flat on the sealing surface 7 to vacuum and heat seal it.
☐ Check to see if air or liquid has entered the vacuum bag because of the food product. If this is the case, open the vacuum bag to vacuum and heat-seal it again. Alternatively, you can use another vacuum bag. For food products which contain a lot of water, we recommend that you freeze the food product before vacuuming and heat sealing it.

The vacuum process does not function perfectly

If the heating element ⑦ becomes overheated, the bag may melt. Open the cover of the vacuum sealer and allow the heating element ⑦ to cool down for a few minutes.
This problem may occur if creases, oil or other liquids are on the heat seal surface 6.
Wait 20 seconds after the vacuuming process is finished before you press the heat seal button 3 for the next process.

Food product shelf life

Vacuuming removes the air from food products. As a result, oxidisation and bacterial contamination are prevented.
