Clean the appliance immediately after each use to avoid that leftover food will stick
to the heating bar, burn-in, or carbonize on the heating bar, or dry on the interior of
the vacuum chamber. Do not poke or scratch with any foreign objects in the appli-
ance, the connectors of the power cord or vacuum outlet, or the scale installing port.
Special care is required when handling the vacuum gaskets, heating bar, sealing
bar, and scale platform. Do not use violence.
When disconnecting the power cord, do not pull the power cord, but always grasp
the plugs.
Unplug the power cord from the power supply, and then from the power socket of
the appliance. For this, grasp the plugs.
The lower vacuum gasket may be removed for cleaning by pulling it out carefully.
However, ensure not to damage the vacuum gaskets.
Special care is necessary when cleaning the interior of the appliance. Carefully,
remove any liquids in the vacuum chamber and wipe the vacuum chamber, heating
bar and sealing bar with a soft damp cloth, moistened with warm dishwater.
Wipe the exterior of the appliance and power cord using a soft damp cloth. Doing
so, especially ensure not to spill any liquids in the scale installing port. Additionally,
take care not to spill or drip water or any liquids on or in the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The scale platform is an essential precision part of the scale and must
be handled with special care. Unscrew the scale platform for cleaning (see: ‘Using
the Scale’). However, do not immerse the scale platform into any liquids. With liquids
seeped into the scale platform, the accuracy of the scale will be reduced considerably.
There is no way to clean the interior of the vacuum hose, if you cannot blow out any
liquids or particles of food that entered the interior. Exchange the vacuum hose by
the designated spare part, recommended by the manufacturer. Please, contact your
vendor.
If required, wipe the power cord, vacuum hose, and scale platform with a damp
cloth.
To dry the vacuum gaskets, it is best to dab with a dry cloth to avoid damage. Wipe
the other parts of the appliance dry, using a soft dry cloth. With the lid of the appli-
ance open, let dry naturally for approx. 1/2 hour out of reach of young children.
Replace the vacuum gasket, close the lid and ensure to turn the stabilization levers at
both sides of the appliance to the IDLE/SCALE position.
