Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase
Wartmann hopes that you will enjoy your new
Wartmann® vacuum pump. The Wartmann®
vacuum pump is a versatile and handy vacuum
pump, specically designed for the Wartmann®
1800 series blender and drinking jars. It can be
operated with the included power adapter as
well as on batteries.
A good choice
The Wartmann®vacuum pump allows you to make
a vacuum in your Wartmann®high speed blender
jar before you start blending. By reducing the
amount of air in the blender jar before blending,
the amount of decolourisation of the juice will be
less for certain fruits and vegetables. Vitamins will
be optimally retained and smoothies will
taste deliciously smooth.
The Wartmann®vacuum pump may also be used to
store juices under vacuum in the Wartmann®
drinking jars, or to vacuum pack products in the
Wartmann®re-sealable vacuum bags. This allows
you to store juices and products vacuum packed
almost from the beginning of preparation.

Food Safety
Use fresh ingredients
Always check if food is spoiled, before consuming
or blending it. Only use fresh ingredients for
blending, or ingredients that are still suited for
consumption and will be consumed immediately
after preparation.
You must realise that vacuum-packaging cannot
undo spoilage. Vacuum blending with vacuum
packaging may ensure that the quality of food
or drink is retained longer, provided it is also
properly cooled. How much longer you can
preserve the food or drink depends on different
factors, such as the type and quality of the food at
the time of packaging
Vacuum-packaging
We advise to mention the date of packaging on
any prepared food or drink that is packaged or
bottled for storage after blending.
When vacuum-packaging food most of the
surrounding air is extracted whilst the inow of
fresh air is being prevented. Vacuum-packaging
helps to prevent freezer burn, which is the
dehydration of the surface layer of the food. This is
characterised by white or brown-red discolouration
of the food.
Vacuum-packaging contributes to the preservation
of the taste and the overall quality of the food. It
slows the growth of aerobic micro-organisms that
could cause:
• Mould. As mould won’t grow in environments
with little oxygen, the vacuum-packaging will
strongly reduce the risk of moulding.
• Fermentation. Fermentation can be noticed
by the odour or taste of the food. Fermentation
requires water and sugar and will develop at
room temperature. Fermentation can also
develop when air is lacking. In order to slow the

yeast growth items should be cooled, only at
deep-freezing temperature, this growth will come
to a halt.
• Bacteria. Bacterial growth can often be
recognised by a nasty smell, discolouration and
a soft or slimy layer. Under specic
circumstances, clostridium botulinum, which
causes botulism, can grow without air. This
is rare, but also extremely dangerous. You can
neither smell nor taste it.
Vacuum-packaging is no replacement for cooling
or deep-freezing. Perishable foods that require
cooling or freezing, must still be kept in the
refrigerator or freezer.
Deep-freezing
In order to safely preserve foods, it must be kept at
low temperatures. The growth of micro-organisms
is strongly reduced at temperatures of 4°C and
below. At a temperature of -17°C, growth will
nearly come to a full stop. This does however not
kill the micro-organisms.
If you wish to store your vacuum packed food long-
term, then always place it in the freezer.

5. Body
The body provides the grip for handling the vacuum
pump; the vacuum pump can be operated with
one hand. Hold the body in one hand and use your
thumb for the power- and pressure release buttons. Using the
Vacuum Pump
Unpacking the vacuum pump and
preparations for rst use
Take the Wartmann®vacuum pump, power
adapter and both connectors out of the box.
If you want to use the Wartmann®vacuum pump
with batteries, then rst follow the instructions in
the chapter “Placing the Batteries”. Otherwise
insert the power plug of the Wartmann®power
adapter into a wall socket. Check that it is properly
secured. Now insert the other, low-voltage, plug
of the power adapter into the socket at the back
of the Wartmann®vacuum pump. The Wartmann®
vacuum pump is now ready for use.
Vacuum a blender jar
First ll up the blender jar similar to making a
regular blend. The further the jar is being lled, the
less air that has to be removed. Do however never
ll the jar above the MAX indicator line.
Place the blender lid rmly on top of the blender
jar. Make sure that the measuring cup is not inside
the blender lid, if so, take it out of the blender lid.
Now place the blender jar connector inside the
blender lid. Twist it rmly until it is securely locked.
Take the vacuum pump and place it on top of the
blender jar lid. The silicon seal should fall inside
the circle of the blender jar lid. Press the vacuum
pump with a light pressure downwards, then press
the Power button to start the Wartmann®vacuum
pump. You will hear the motor running. Once the
vacuum is reached, the motor will automatically
switch off. This may typically take 30 seconds
or more.
You may also notice that the Pressure Level
Indicator has turned green. This is an indication
that the maximum vacuum pressure has been

reached. To remove the Wartmann®vacuum pump,
press the Pressure Release Button. This will clear the
vacuum between the Wartmann®vacuum pump and
the blender jar connector. You can now safely remove
the Wartmann® vacuum pump.
Now run the applicable blender programme as you
would normally do and wait until the blending has
completely stopped. There will still be a vacuum in the
blender jar and therefore the blender jar lid should not
yet be removed. Lift the vacuum release valve inside
the blender jar connector before opening the blender
jar. This is a little rubber grip on top of the blender jar
connector. Grab it with two ngers and shortly lift it
up. You will hear the air owing back into the blender
jar. The blender lid can now be removed.
Vacuum a drinking jar
The best way to store a vacuum blended drink is
inside a vacuum drinking jar. Do this straight after
the preparation. To vacuum a drinking jar, rst ll the
required drinking jar, but never ll the drinking jar
above the MAX indicator line. If the drinking jar is
lled to the top, liquid may get into the vacuum pump
and cause irreparable damage. Place the drinking jar
lid that has the vacuum valve on top of the drinking jar.
Turn until it is properly closed.
Take the vacuum pump and place it on top of the
drinking jar. The silicon seal should fall inside the circle
of the drinking jar lid. Press the vacuum pump with a
light pressure downwards, then press the Power button
to start the Wartmann®vacuum pump. You will hear
the motor running. Once the vacuum is reached, the
motor will automatically switch off. This may typically
take 15 seconds or more.
You may also notice that the Pressure Level Indicator
has turned green. This is an indication that the
maximum vacuum pressure has been reached.
To remove the Wartmann®vacuum pump, press the
Pressure Release Button. This will clear the vacuum
between the Wartmann®vacuum pump and the
drinking jar. You can now safely remove
the Wartmann®vacuum pump. Your drinking jar can
be stored away, preferably in a cool place.
Vacuum packaging is not an alternative for cooling.
To open the drinking jar the vacuum inside the drinking
jar has to be rst released. There is a little rubber grip
on top of the drinking jar. Grab it with two ngers and
shortly lift it up. You will hear the air owing back into
the drinking jar. The lid can now be removed from the
drinking jar. You can optionally screw the drinking lid
on the drinking jar, which makes it easy to drink from
the drinking jar.
Vacuum a blender jar
The Wartmann®vacuum pump can be used to vacuum
pack food in special re-sealable bags. These bags
have a sealing strip at the top and a special air valve
in the corner. An example of such a bag is included
in the gift box. The air valve may be marked with a
blue circle.
Choose a re-sealable vacuum bag of suitable size
and place your product in the bag. Check that there is
enough free space under the air valve so that the air
can escape. Close the bag and rmly press the seal
strip at the top. Place the bag on a at surface with the
air valve facing upwards.
Attach the vacuum bag connector to the bottom of
the Wartmann®vacuum pump. The thicker side of the
vacuum bag connector ts inside the ring at the bottom
of the vacuum pump. Place the vacuum bag connector
straight on the air valve. Hold the Wartmann® vacuum
pump with a light pressure on top of the air valve.
Do not press so hard that air can’t escape from
under the air valve. Press the Power button to start the
Wartmann® vacuum pump. You will hear the motor
running and should see that air is owing out of the
vacuum bag.
Once the vacuum is reached, the motor will
automatically switch off.
You may also notice that the Pressure Level Indicator
has turned green. This is an indication that the
maximum vacuum pressure has been reached.
To remove the Wartmann®vacuum pump, press the
Pressure Release Button. This will clear the vacuum
between the Wartmann®vacuum pump and the air
valve. You can now safely remove the Wartman®
vacuum pump.
If you want to remove less air of the vacuum bag, then
the Wartmann®vacuum pump can be stopped earlier
by pressing the Power button.

Battery operation
Power Adapter vs batteries
The Wartmann®vacuum pump can be operated
with the supplied power adapter, or with batteries.
When the power adapter is plugged-in the
Wartmann®vacuum pump will operate on the
power adapter, even when loaded with batteries.
Battery operation is handy at locations with no
power socket available, e.g. when you want to
vacuum a drinking jar whilst traveling.
Placing the batteries
The Wartmann®vacuum pump requires six 1.5
volt AA batteries to operate. Hold the Wartmann®
vacuum pump upside down and unscrew the
battery cover by turning it anti-clockwise.
Inside there is a black battery retainer plate with a
little clip that locks the plate in its position. Unclip
the battery retainer plate on one site and take it out.
The batteries are placed, in pairs, in an opposite
direction to each other. The direction in which the
batteries should be placed is indicated with + and
– markings at the bottom. Place the six 1.5 volt AA
batteries inside.
The battery retainer plate has a hook, opposite the
clip, to hold the plate in its position. Put the battery
retainer plate back by hooking it up on one site.
Then close it and with the little clip lock the battery
retainer plate back in its position. Slightly pushing
the retainer plate in should do the trick. You may
hear a soft click.
Screw the battery cover back on the body by
turning it clockwise. The Wartmann®vacuum pump
is now ready to be used with batteries.
Testing the batteries
Press the Power button shortly to test if the batteries
are properly tted. You should hear the motor
running. If there is no sound, then the batteries are
empty, improperly placed, or of the wrong voltage.
Check the batteries and try again.
Signs of at batteries
The Wartmann®vacuum pump automatically
switches off when the required vacuum has been
reached. When using the Wartmann® vacuum pump
and it switches off with the pressure level indicator
not yet being fully green, then the batteries may be
at. The batteries may no longer be strong enough
to create the required vacuum.
Removing the batteries
The steps for removing the batteries are identical as
for placing the batteries. Just follow the paragraph
about placing the batteries, but instead of putting
batteries in, take them out.

After use
Cleaning
Always remove the power adapter from the wall
socket before cleaning. The power adapter can
be cleaned with a dry cloth. The surface of the
Wartmann®vacuum pump can be cleaned with
a moist microber cloth. Take special attention to
not damage the silicone ring at the bottom of the
Wartmann®vacuum pump.
The connectors can be hand washed with water
and some soap, but be careful not to damage the
rubber parts. Dry carefully after cleaning.
Storing
After the Wartmann®vacuum pump, power adapter
and connectors have been cleaned and dried they
can be stored away. If the vacuum pump is stored
for a longer period of time the batteries should
be removed rst. Leaking batteries may otherwise
damage the vacuum pump.
Recycling the
Vacuum Pump
Deliver the Wartmann®vacuum pump to a
collection point for the recycling of electrical
equipment when it is at the end of its life cycle.
The Wartmann® vacuum pump should not be
disposed of along with regular household rubbish.
For the disposal of used batteries follow the
disposal instructions that came with your
batteries. Batteries can’t be disposed with
regular household rubbish.
