pouches.
– Only suitable, pre-made film pouches may be used for the
packing and marinating of products. See Section 5.4 "Film
pouch" on page 13.
• The machine is suitable for 30 sequential packaging procedures.
Then let the machine cool down to room temperature.
• Bottles and vacuum boxes can be evacuated by the machine, us-
ing the vacuum hose supplied.
– Only glass bottles may be used for evacuating bottles.
– No damaged or thin-walled glass bottles may be used for evac-
uating bottles.
– Only suitable vacuum boxes may be used for evacuating vac-
uum boxes.

• Powder-forming products may not be evacuated.
• No liquids may be sucked in via the suction opening or the vacuum
hose.
• Living creatures may not be packed.
• Electronic devices may not be packed.
• The machine is not suitable for use in outdoor areas.
1.2 Safety instructions
The machine incorporates state-of-the-art standards. Nevertheless,
potential hazards for persons, the machine and other material assets
cannot be entirely excluded.
• If the machine is damaged or dropped it must not be switched on.
• Repairs may only be performed by the manufacturer or a service
centre that has been authorised by the manufacturer.
• Do not pack or marinate any highly flammable, combustible or ex-
plosion-prone products using the machine.
• Do not pack any dust-forming or powder-forming products with the
machine.
Protection from electric shock
• Do not touch damaged power cords or damaged mains plugs. Re-
place the power cord immediately.
• The mains voltage of the machine must match the mains voltage
of the mains electricity. Compare the mains voltage on the type
plate of the machine with the mains voltage of the mains electricity
before inserting the mains plug of the machine into the socket.
Safety
Safety instructions

• There are live components inside the machine. Do not open the
housing.
• Do not immerse the machine in water or other liquids.
• The machine may only be operated when the electrical fuse cover
is attached.
Children at home and persons with disabilities
• Children under eight years of age are not allowed to use the ma-
chine.
• The machine can be used by children 8 years old and above, and
also by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capaci-
ties or insufficient experience and knowledge, if they are super-
vised or instructed in the safe use of the machine and understand
the resulting risks.
• Children are not allowed to play with the machine.
• Cleaning and user servicing must not be performed by children
without supervision.
• The sealing bar reaches a heat of approx. 140 °C (284 °F) during
operation. The seal seam of the sealed film pouch is also hot just
after sealing. Children must not touch the machine while the seal-
ing bar and the seal seam are hot.
• Risk of suffocation! The thin film of the packaging material can ad-
here to the mouth and nose and interfere with breathing. Keep the
packaging material away from babies and small children. Do not
use the packaging material in cribs, beds, carrying bags or play-
pens. Packaging material is not a toy.
Protection from burns
• The sealing bar reaches a heat of approx. 140 °C (284 °F) during
operation. The seal seam of the sealed film pouch is also hot just
after sealing. Do not touch the sealing bar or the seal seam.
Eye injuries
• A damaged or scratched chamber lid can implode and splinter. If
the chamber lid is damaged, do not switch the machine on. Re-
place the chamber lid.
• Do not scratch the chamber lid.
• Do not use the chamber lid as a storage, working or cutting sur-
face.

• Insufficient hygiene when dealing with the product and the ma-
chine can contaminate the product and the pack. Regularly clean
the machine, the work equipment, the work environment and your
hands before and after every use. In this way undesired transmis-
sion of contaminants to objects and the product can be avoided.
Protection from other injuries
• If body parts are sucked with the vacuum hose this can cause inju-
ries.
During operation
• Do not leave the machine unsupervised during operation.

Function Description
1Stand-by The control light illuminates after a long machine downtime and
signals that the machine is operational.
2Low vacuum This function can be used to evacuate soft and pressure-sensitive
products, e.g. cooked noodles, pastries and fruit.
3Maximum vacuum This function can be used to evacuate products that are less pres-
sure-sensitive, such as meat, sausages and root vegetables.
4Sous-vide This function can be used to produce packs for the sous-vide
cooking method.
• 1: for firm products, e.g. meat and root vegetables
• 2: for soft products, e.g. fish and cucurbits (gourd family)
• 3: for particularly soft products, e.g. delicate vegetables
5Adjustable vacuum This function can be used to evacuate products with a vacuum of
40% to 100%.
The higher the set value, the higher the vacuum.
If the set vacuum cannot be reached, the machine automatically
selects the optimum vacuum. See Section 5.2 "Product" on
page 13. The message "OPT" appears on the display.
6Favourites This function can be used to save up to three custom-selected
vacuums. The saved value is shown on the display.
If the set vacuum cannot be reached, the machine automatically
selects the optimum vacuum. See Section 5.2 "Product" on
page 13. The message "OPT" appears on the display.
7Marinating This function can be used to accelerate the marinading of food.

5 Tips and tricks
5.1 Hygiene
• A clean and hygienic work environment is the basis for high-quality
packed food. For this reason, it is very important to regularly clean
and kept the machine, the work environment and your hands hy-
gienic before and after every use.
• Do not use the film pouch multiple times.
• Only touch the outside of the film pouch with clean hands. This
way you avoid unwanted transmission of contaminants to the film
pouch or the product and unpleasant smells in the refrigerator.
5.2 Product
• Only fresh and cooled foods can be stored for longer. Therefore,
only pack fresh food. Do not interrupt the cold chain.
• Pack food immediately and do not store it prior to packing.
• A high vacuum can be achieved for cooled food. Pack cooled
foods as much as is possible.
• A high vacuum can increase the shelf life of a foodstuff.
• Liquids can be managed more easily when packaging if they are
frozen in advance.
• Let precooked food cool down to a temperature of no more than
approx. 20 °C before packing it.
• Treat foods that have a tendency to ferment before packing them,
e.g. by blanching, frying, etc.
5.3 Packing
• The edges of the film pouch can be turned outwards when filling,
to prevent them from being dirtied in the seal seam. The edges of
the film pouch thus stay clean and the film pouch is sealed secure-
ly.
5.4 Film pouch
Depending on the application, the film pouch must satisfy various de-
mands.
• The film pouch must be suitable for the packing of food.
The film pouch must not transfer any of its components onto the
food.
• The film pouch must be sealable.
In order to seal the opening of the film pouch, it must melt and bind
when exposed to heat. The material and seal of the film pouch
must be solid enough that the pack is airtight after sealing.
• The film pouch must be impermeable to oils, fats, alkaline solu-
tions and flavours. In addition, the film pouch must have high tear
and puncture resistance.
Tips and tricks
Film pouch
25.09.2017 13 / 34

• The film pouch must have a barrier effect.
• The film pouch must be heat-resistant.
If the packaged food is immersed in hot water, such as in sous-
vide cooking, the film pouch must be able to withstand this temper-
ature.
• The film pouch must be frost-resistant.
For optimal packaging results, the use of MULTIVAC film pouches is
recommended.

6 Operation
6.1 Selecting function and setting values
A function can be selected by turning the rotary knob.
The selected function is immediately active and is performed by the

Pressing the rotary knob switches to the respective sub-menu.
A value can be selected or set in the sub-menu by turning the rotary
knob.
Pressing the rotary knob again exits the sub-menu. The selected or
set value is then active and is performed by the machine as soon as
the chamber lid is closed.
