CATLER RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST
We understand the importance of safety and that’swhy we put your safety first from the initial

electrical equipment and to observe the following guidelines:

the voltage on the power adapter'srating label. In case of any doubt, contact aqualied
electrician.
• Before using the appliance for the rst time, please remove all packaging and ad stickers

serviceable parts.

• Make sure that the appliance is switched o and cooled, and that it is disconnected from

OPERATING YOUR VM 400 VACUUM PUMP
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before rst use, remove all packaging
and advertising labels / stickers from the
appliance. Make sure you have removed all
accessories from the package. Please check
the appliance and all accessories for damage.
Wipe the outer surface with asoft sponge
lightly dipped in warm water with asmall
amount of kitchen detergent.
Wash the container with the lid in warm
water with alittle kitchen detergent. Rinse
and wipe dry. The container is dishwasher
safe. However, the lid is not dishwasher safe.
CHARGING
Before rst use, the vacuum pump must be
charged.
Insert the USB cable connector into the
socket at the back of the vacuum pump and
insert the other connector into the socket in
the adapter. Plug the adapter into apower
outlet. Charging starts automatically.
As the vacuum pump charges, the LED
indicators will gradually light up. When all
four indicators light up, the vacuum pump
is fully charged. Charging time is usually 3
hours.
Allow the vacuum pump to fully charge the
rst time you use it. Then allow it to fully
discharge before recharging.
As soon as only one LED indicator lights up,
the vacuum pump needs to be charged.
Do not allow the battery to run down
completely.
USE
Always make sure that the vacuum
attachment is correctly tted before each
use. Never use the vacuum pump without
the vacuum attachment.
VACUUM CONTAINER
1. Place the container on adry, at and
clean surface.
2. Place food into the container. We
recommend leaving at least 2 cm clear
between the food and the lid. It is
important that food does not touch the
bottom of the vacuum valve.
3. Put the lid on and make sure it is correctly
tted. If necessary, apply slight pressure
with both hands.
4. Check that the vacuum valve is properly
clamped in the lid. Press it downwards to
prevent air leakage.
5. Place the vacuum pump on the lid so
that the vacuum attachment ts into
the suction valve area. Press the vacuum
pump rmly against the lid.
6. Press the vacuum button on the vacuum
pump to start the air extraction process.
WARNING!
SHOULD
WATER OR OTHER
LIQUID BE DRAWN
IN, TURN OFF THE
VACUUM PUMP
IMMEDIATELY TO
PREVENT DAMAGE.
7. The air extraction process stops
automatically when the air is extracted.
8. The air valve drops into the lid. The air
valve indicates the“airtight” status of the
container. It drops into the lid when air
is sucked in and rises when air ows into
the container.
