5. SEALING A BAG FROM VACUUM BAG FILM
–
Open the appliance cover (4) by pulling up the left
and right release button and clip the cutting blade (6)
upwards. Lie the vacuum film in the storage chamber
(5) (see fig. A) and pull the end of the film towards
you.
–
Then, fold the blade bar (6) back down, the film now
lies beneath it (see fig. B)
WARNING: When folding the blade bar down, please
ensure that the blade lever is either to the far right
or the far left of the blade bar. It must not be in the
middle, otherwise it won't cut the film properly (see
fig. B).
–
Pull the film until it is the correct length for the
necessary bag and slide the cutting handle in one
stroke to the left or right to the other end of the rail
(see fig. C).
Now you can seal the end of the bag.
–
The appliance cover should still be in the open posi-
tion.
–
Lay the open end of the bag onto the rubber contact
seal (8).
–
Close the cover and push down on the two front cor-
ners of the appliance cover until you hear a „Click"
from both sides. The cover is now locked on both sides
(see fig. D).
CAUTION: Never press the release buttons to close
the cover. Their only purpose is opening the cover.

Once the signal sounds, pull up both release buttons
to open the cover (see fig. F).

Remove the bag with the sealed end.

Check if the weld is straight and without creases (see
fig. G). Should this not be the case, cut the weld off
and repeat the process.
