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
Silver Vacuum Sealer. These are available
from your Princess sales outlet and the
Princess Service Center.

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.
