15.7 Electrical connection
In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the following
instructions must be observed for the electrical connection:

Before plugging in the unit, compare the voltage and frequency data on the vacuum
sealer's rating plate (found on the bottom of the unit) with that of your electrical
network. This data must be compatible. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

The electrical outlet must be protected by a 16A safety cut-out switch.

The use of a multi-plug outlet adapter is not recommended due to fire danger.

Inspect the power cord for damage and ensure it doesn't run under the unit or over
hot or sharp surfaces.

The electrical safety of the unit is only guaranteed if it is connected to a properly
installed protective conductor system. Use of the unit without a protective conductor
is prohibited. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be
made responsible for damages due to a missing or damaged protective conductor.
15.7.1 Extension cords
If an extension cord is used:
► The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the unit.
► The cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over a countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
