Vacuum Sealer
Intended Use
This plastic film sealer is intended for the occasional
vacuum-packing of food in typical household quan-
tities and only for private household use.
This product is not intended for commercial or in-
dustrial applications or for continuous operation.
Important safety instructions
To avoid potentially fatal electric
shocks:
• Protect the appliance against moisture. Only use
the device in dry rooms, not outdoors. Ensure
that fluids can never permeate into the appliance,
whether during cleaning or from the leaking of
fluids during the sealing process. Also, do not
use the appliance if you have wet hands.
• Ensure that the power plug is at all times freely
accessible, so that in a case of emergency it can
be quickly removed from the power source.
• Ensure that when the appliance is in use the power
cable cannot become jammed or damaged in
any way. Place it such that no one can trip or
stumble over it.
• In order to avoid potentially fatal risks, should the
power cable and/or the plug become damaged,
arrange for it/them to be replaced by Customer
Services before continuing to use the appliance.
• Should the appliance become damaged, im-
mediately remove the power plug. Then arrange
for the device to be checked by Customer Services.
• After use or during extended absences, ALWAYS
remove the plug from the power socket. Never
leave the appliance unsupervised when it is
connected to mains power. The appliance is
electrically "live" for as long as the plug is in-
serted into the wall socket.
To avoid the risk of fire:
• Use only the special plastic films that are suitable
for a plastic film sealer.
• Allow the appliance to cool down after every se-
aling process before continuing to use it.
• NEVER position the appliance below inflammable
objects, especially not below curtains or drapes.
• Do not use an external timing switch or a separate
remote control system to operate this appliance.
To avoid the risks of accidents and
personal injuries:
• During operation, both the sealing wire and the
cutting wire heat up. NEVER touch them directly
after a sealing process.
• This appliance is not intended for use by indivi-
duals (including children) with restricted physical,
physiological or intellectual abilities or deficiences
in experience and/or knowledge unless they are
supervised by a person responsible for their sa-
fety or receive from this person instruction in how
the appliance is to be used. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the device.

Utilisation
Sealing the film
Attention:
For sealing use only films rated HDPE (High Density
PolyEthylene) or LDPE (Low Density PolyEthylene).
The film thickness must be 30 - 50 μ (0.03 - 0.05
mm). Otherwise, the sealing seam will not be tight
and the appliance could be damaged. You will
recognise films of this type by the information on the
packaging.
The quality of the seal joint varies depending on the
type and strength of the film.
Attention:
Do not heat the supplied film, for example in a water-
bath or similar. It is construed for temperatures of
a maximum of 60°C.
➩Fold the appliance cover uup.
➩Pull out as much film as is required for the task
at hand.
➩Then close the appliance cover u.
➩Firmly press the appliance cover udown.
Note:
The bag opening must sit smoothly on the sealing
wire rand on the cutting wire e. Otherwise, the
sealing and cutting will not function properly.

seconds at the latest, the appliance is defective!
Immediately remove the plug from the wall socket.
Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. In
this case, contact Customer Services.
➩Open the appliance cover uagain and remove
the film. This is sealed at one end and, at the
same time, separated from the roll of tube film.
Seal the remaining open sides, except for one,
in the same manner.
➩Fill the bag. You must leave at least 6 cm of the
bag free, measured up to the edge that is to be
sealed.
Warning:
Fill the bags in such a way that, under no circum-
stances, food remnants or fluids can run out of the
bag when sealing it and permeate into the appliance.
➩If you do not want to extract the air from the
bag, you should now seal the last open side.
Vacuuming films
When sealing, you can at the same time extract the
air from the bag (vacuuming):
Warning:
Do NOT vacuum bags in which there are liquids.
They will permeate into the appliance and damage
it.
➩Place the open end of the bag around the
extraction supports w. For this you can lift
them lightly. Thereby, the bag must project to
the markings in the appliance.
Note:
The bag opening must sit smoothly on the extraction
supports w, the sealing wire rand the cutting wire
e. Otherwise, the vacuuming, sealing and cutting
will not function properly.
➩Close the appliance cover uand firmly press
it down on both sides. Be sure nnoottto press on

seal the bag.
Storing the appliance
➩Do not wrap the power cable around the appli-
ance, use the guides provided on the bottom of
the appliance.

from dust and particles, so that nothing
can lodge in the suction device.
Cleaning
Attention!
First remove the power plug from the wall socket
and allow the appliance to cool down completely
before cleaning it or placing it into storage. NEVER
submerse the appliance in fluids of any kind. Do not
permit liquids to permeate into the appliance.
If you do, you risk receiving a potentially fatal elec-
tric shock.
Cleaning the collector receptacle

when vacuuming, the collector receptacle qpro-
tects the appliance from damages. Clean the collec-
tor receptacle qas soon as soiling is visible:
