Operation.
Place the plug in the current socket.
If you wish to seal just one bag, position it in the suction chamber (B), set the lever (G) in "open" position, close
the cover, gently press it and then set the lever (G) in "close" position.
Press the Seal (4) key which will light up indicating the appliance is on. When it switches off, set the lever (G) in
"open" position and remove the bag.
If you want to vacuum pack food, place it inside the bag, position the opening in the suction chamber (B), set the
lever (G) in "open" position, close the cover, gently press it and then set the lever (G) in "close" position.
Before starting suction, you can select the type of suction.
By default, the appliance is set to NORMAL. Pressing the MODE key (2) you can choose between the NORMAL
options (standard suction) or GENTLE (for soft food); based on the selection, the corresponding light switches
on for the option chosen.
Pressing the FOOD key (3) you can choose the most suitable suction for the type of food to be packaged.
By default, the appliance is set to DRY. For dry food, select DRY while for moist food select MOIST; also in this
case, the light corresponding to the selection switches on.
At this point, press the Vac Seal (5) key. The key will light up; when it switches off the Seal key will automatically
light up to carry out sealing; when it switches off, the process is complete.
Set the lever (G) in "open" position and remove the sealed parts.
To stop the appliance from working at any time, press the Stop key (1).
To avoid excessive vacuum of delicate food, sealing can be anticipated by pressing the Seal key during suction.
ATTENTION: In this case, if the vacuum is too weak, the bag may not seal correctly.
Vacuum packing with containers.
If you want to use the appliance to preserve vacuum packed food in other containers, a rubber tube (not supplied)
must be positioned on one end (larger inlet) in the suction nozzle and the other end in the plug (not supplied)
specifically for this type of operation.
Fill the container with the food leaving at least a centimetre between the food and the upper edge of the container.
If necessary, clean the edge and the seal of the container lid.
Once you have completed these preliminary actions, simply press the key (H) to start suction. Suction
automatically stops when the maximum vacuum is reached. To stop, use the same STOP key on the command
panel.
To facilitate the operation, ensure you have closed the lid on the container correctly. Mark the packaging date
on the container.
Useful suggestions.
Leave a sufficient length on the opening to seal so it can be easily inserted in the
vacuum chamber.
Before proceeding, check the opening of the bag is not wet because it may be difficult to seal it hermetically.
The appliance does not completely replace refrigeration or freezing, perishable foods must still be refrigerated
or frozen.
Keep plastic bags flat, otherwise the seal may be less than optimal.
To avoid creases in the bag during suction, lay it in the suction chamber and keep it pressed until the appliance
starts to work.
Before sealing fruit and vegetables, leave them to cool for a few minutes.
You are advised to allow at least 40 seconds to pass before sealing.
Problem solving
If the appliance does not work:
Check if the power supply cable is connected to the current socket.
Check if the power supply cable is damaged.
Check if the electric socket works by connecting it to another device.
Ensure the stops are in the locked position.
check the bag is positioned correctly inside the vacuum chamber.
Wait for the appliance to cool for 40 seconds before re-using it.
Disconnect the plug from the socket and let the appliance cool down well before cleaning it.
In order to clean the appliance, use a soft or slight damp cloth.
Do not use very wet substances, liquids or cloths to prevent water from entering into the appliance and
irreparably damaging it.
Never use abrasive sponges.
Accurately avoid the substances used for cleaning ending up on the suction tube causing the suction pump to
break.
Avoid use of substances that can damage the gasket on the fixed lower bar.
Avoid use of liquid substances which can detach the resistor protection.
Do not force or pull, during cleaning, the silicone gasket on the mobile upper bar to avoid damaging or removing
it, even partially.
NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE INTO THE WATER.
