Important notes for operation
• The appliance is suitable for long term operation without intermediate pauses.
However we recommend to let the appliance cool down for several minutes after
25 consecutive cycles.
• Make sure there is enough space in front of the appliance for the bag with the food to be
vacuum-sealed.
• Bags and rolls are available with different widths. Opt for the bag size suitable to
accommodate the food to be preserved. Make sure that the bag is several centimetres
longer than the food to be vacuum-sealed.
• Fill the bag avoiding wrinkles or tensing the surface. The area of the sealing seam must be
clean, dry and free from food residues at the inside and outside.
• For the vacuum sealing of pressure-sensitive food, we recommend to use the function
manual vacuuming and sealing
(see point B, page 28).
