Vacuum drawer
HOT SURFACE!
Danger - risk of burns!
The sealing strip of the vacuum chamber gets very hot.
The sealing seam of the vacuum sealer bags is strongly heated
during the sealing process as well. Do not touch the hot sealing strip
or other accessible parts. You could suffer a burn. Watch any
children and keep them away from the apliance.
DANGER OF FIRE!
Danger - risk of fire!
The sealing strip can get very hot. Do not keep highly flammable
substances in the vicinity of the appliance. This poses a fire and
explosion hazard due to the vapours.
5
Safety regulations

WARNING!
Danger - risk of injury!
Check the appliance before each use for damage. Do not use in
case of damage. Contact customer service.
In particular, check the glass lid of the appliance for even the
smallest cracks and fissures. It could implode when the vacuum
is connected. For this reason, the appliance must not be operated
anymore when the lid is damaged. Disconnect it and contact
customer service.
Vacuuming glassware with screw-on lids:
•Only use glassware that is in impeccable condition. Make sure
before closing the lid that the jars are not too tall. In order to avoid
damaging the appliance, the distance between screw-on lid and
appliance lid must be at least 1 cm.
•Never insert hoses connected to the appliance into bodily
openings!
WARNING!
Danger - risk of death! - Suffocation hazard!
Keep packaging parts out of reach of children.
Foils and parts, especially small parts, may be hazardous or might
be swallowed.
Causes of damage
•Never pack products that might get damaged by vacuum-packing.
You could get injured or might damage the appliance.
•Under vacuum conditions, fluids already start to boil at low
temperatures. In the process, steam escapes and malfunctions
of the appliance may result.
•Exclusively vacuum-pack cooled foods.
6
Safety regulations

•Watch the vacuuming process carefully and seal the bag early if
bubbles start to form. To stay on the safe side, we recommend
to vacuum-pack fluids in sturdy customary vacuuming containers.
•Make sure that during the vacuuming process and during
cleaning, no water gets into the interior of the appliance and the
suction point of the vacuum pump. This may cause damage to
the pump.
•You may use nothing but a soft, moderately damp cloth for
cleaning. Never hose down your appliance with water, and do
not use a steam cleaner.
•Do not misuse the appliance as a worktop, storage space, or
seat. Do not put anything on the glass lid of the appliance,
especially no extremely hot or cold objects. Take care that no
objects fall on top of the glass lid. It could suffer damage. Close
the drawer when the appliance is not in use.
•Open and close it slowly when in operation and slide it all the way
in or out.
•The vacuum in the vacuuming chamber is maintained during a
power outage during the vacuuming process. Do not try in any
case to open the glass lid using tools. Wait until the power has
returned, and restart the vacuuming process.
•Do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaners or sharp metal
scrapers to clean the glass of the appliance’s lid. Resulting
scratches on the surface may damage the glass and lead to
malfunction or risk of injury.
•Check the correct placement of the rubber gasket of the glass
lid. Take care that the bed of the rubber gasket is clean and clear
of objects. This could impair the appliance’s function.
NOTE!
Caution: Do not operate the appliance if the rubber gasket is
defective. You could damage the appliance or suffer an injury.
Please contact customer service.
7
Safety regulations

•Do not damage the glass chamber’s rubber gasket, especially
not with pointy or sharp objects.
•Clean the glass lid’s rubber gasket with a damp cloth and a little
dish detergent.
•Do not use any sharp or aggressive detergents.
•Never vacuum-pack living goods.
NOTE!
If you decide to discontinue using the appliance because of a
fault, we recommend you cut off the cable after removing the plug
from the plug socket. Take the appliance to your municipality’s
waste disposal site.

Operation

WARNING!
If the Vacuum Failure indicator and Dry Run Function indicator are ignored, the drawer can no
longer be operated after a certain number of warnings (except the Dry Run Function). It is then
necessary to start the Dry Run Function to be able to use the drawer again.
Starting Dry Run Function
After using the vacuum drawer for a period of time, there will be moisture
in the oil of the vacuum pump. Because of this, the device may vacuum
insufficiently. It is then advised to perform the Dry Run Function. If
vacuuming does not work, then the Vacuuming Failure indicator and
the Dry Run Function indicator light up. After a number of warnings
(Vacuuming Failure indicator and Dry Run Function indicator lighting
up), it is advised to perform the Dry Run Function.
1. Press the Dry Run Function touch key to start the Dry Run Function.
2. Immediately afterwards, shortly press on the front of the lid so that
the vacuum chamber can vacuum.
•The Dry Run Function symbol flashes during drying.
WARNING!
•If the Dry Run Function does not completely remove the moisture from the oil after a maximum
of 20 minutes, then the drawer switches to a ‘cool off’setting. The vacuum drawer can then
not be used for a period of one hour. The Dry Run Function indicator is visible in the display.
After that, start the Dry Run Function again!
•Regular use of the Dry Run Function is part of the normal operation of the vacuum
drawer.
