Safety Precautions
■ This appliance is to be connected only to
an alternating current supply. The voltage
shown on the appliance rating plate must
correspond with that of the mains supply.
■ Do not touch the hot sealing wire.
■ Do not suck in liquids.
■ Do not stand the appliance on hot
surfaces, such as an oven hotplate, or use
it in the vicinity of a naked flame.
■ Always pull out the mains plug after each
time the appliance is used and before any
cleaning operation.
■ Never remove the plug from the socket
by pulling on the flex.
■ Do not allow the mains flex to hang over
edges or corners.
■ Never dip the appliance into water.
■ Keep children away from the appliance
and do not allow the flex to hang down
within their reach.
■ Do not use the appliance if either the
mains flex or the appliance itself is
damaged.
■ If the mains flex to the appliance
becomes damaged, it must be repaired
only by the KRUPS After-Sales Service, or
by a similarly qualified person, to avoid
personal danger.
Operating instructions
Raise the hinged sealing clamp.
■ Insert the desired roll of foil into the
appliance with the free end upwards. (1)
To achieve first-class sealing results, you
should use only KRUPS original plastic foil.
Push in the mains plug.
■ Set the function selector to cutting-sealing
.
(2)
The setting for the foil type determines the
sealing time.
■ Push the setter to for KRUPS Freezer
foil (transparent) and to for KRUPS
Boiling-Freezer foil (milky-white). (3)
■ Pull the loose end of the foil out of the
appliance until the length of foil in front of
the sealing wire corresponds with the
desired width of the bag, but not more
than 30 cm.
(4)
When using a new roll of foil, a seam must
first be sealed 2 cm from the open end.
■ Turn down the sealing clamp, place both
hands flat upon it and then press it down
very firmly. Maintain a heavy pressure
until the green control lamp ceases to
glow.
(5)
■ Then raise the sealing clamp and carefully
remove the bag sideways from the
sealing wire. (6)
Wind back the remaining foil onto the roll in
the appliance.
■ Do not fill the bag more than 3/4 full,
making sure that the area where the
eventual seam is to be remains clean and
dry. This is best done by folding back the
edge of the bag outwards. (7) (8)
Pull the side seams of the filled bag apart so
that the two layers of foil lie flat one above
the other.
■ So place the bag that the extraction nozzle
lies correctly between the two layers of
foil.
(9)
The bag must lie as flat as possible in the
region of the sealing wires and creases
must be pulled straight.
■ Turn down the sealing clamp and press
down gently with one hand just so far that
the extraction comes into operation. With
the other hand, pull the bag gently
towards the table edge and raise and
lower it slightly now and then.
(10)
This movement causes small channels to be
made in the bag during the extraction
operation, so that the air can escape. It also
prevents the two layers of foil from pressing
together in front of the nozzle and thus
lengthening the extraction time.
