General information
This attractive Princess Silver Vacuum
Sealer, with a silver finish, will enable you
to vacuum package a wide range of foods
before, for example, storing them in a
freezer.
One push on the appliance is sufficient to
draw a vacuum in a bag of food and then
seal the bag. This offers you a safe and
convenient means of storing or freezing
your food. The appliance is equipped with
indicator lights and a cord storage system.
Preference is given to the use of Princess
bags and rolls of film with your Princess

Before use for the first time
1 Remove the protective film.
2 Clean the appliance (see the 'Cleaning
and maintenance' Section).
Sealing and drawing a vacuum
You can use plastic bags or tubular film (a
roll of plastic film with closed sides) to
package your food. You seal the base of a
length of tubular film to make a bag.
Always make sure that the plastic bag is
at least 8 cm longer than the food you
wish to package.
Preparations
1 Put the appliance on a dry and stable
surface.
2 Make sure that the vacuum sleeve is
fitted correctly.
3 Put the plug in the wall socket.
Using tubular film
1 Cut off a length of film long enough to
package the food. Make sure that the
ends are straight.
2 Open the lid, and lay one end of the film
on the golden-brown strip (10) with the
smooth side facing upwards.
Make sure that the film does not contact
the transparent vacuum sleeve!
3 Close the lid, and use both hands to
press the lid closed for a couple of
seconds until the 'Sealing' indicator
light begins to flash. The film has been
sealed once the indicator light
extinguishes.
4 Press the air inlet button to allow air to
enter the appliance.
5 Open the lid, and remove the film. You
now have a bag you can use to
package the food.
6 Continue with the following steps for the
use of a plastic bag.
