∙ Hint: Keep monitoring the extraction
when processing delicate foods.
Once the vacuum is sufficient, use
the Stop button to interrupt the
suction process. Then start the
sealing process manually using the
Seal button.
Sealing only:
∙ Place the filled bag with its open end
onto the sealing bar. The bag opening
must be clean and free of any wrinkles
or creases.
∙ Fold the cover down.
∙ Push the outer corners of the cover
firmly down until it is heard locking into
place on both sides.

Hint: Should any residual liquid be
found inside the sealed seam, wipe
the seam dry and let it go through
another sealing cycle. Caution: The
bag opening must be absolutely dry, to
guarantee a seal that is safe and airtight.
∙ Disconnect the appliance from the
mains.
