USING THE VACUUM DEVICE
Unpacking the vacuum device and preparations for first use
Take the vacuum device out of the box and remove all packaging materials. Place the vacuum device
on a horizontal surface in a location where the vacuum device cannot tip over, even when passing.
Switching on the vacuum device
Insert the plug of the vacuum device into a wall socket. The vacuum device is now ready for use.
Seal and vacuum a product in a vacuum bag
Choose a vacuum bag of suitable width and place your product in the bag, leaving approximately 4 cm
open at the top. Open the lid of the vacuum device and place the open end of the bag over the sealing
strip with the open end inside the vacuum chamber.
Close the lid and press it lightly whilst shortly pressing the vacuum button. The vacuum indicator will
light up. After approximately 3 seconds you may let go of the lid; it will stay in its closed position. The
vacuum bag shrinks whilst the inner air is being removed; after a while the vacuum indicator goes out
and the seal indicator lights up. Wait until the seal indicator goes out.
Now press the release button, open the lid and take your vacuum bag out. Carefully inspect the seal.
A proper sealing will be transparent over the entire length. If the sealing is mottled, white or milky or
even crumpled, then it is not properly sealed. In this case, cut off the sealing and create a new sealing
in accordance with the abovementioned steps.
Wait at least 45 seconds before you vacuum or seal a second bag.
Seal a product in a bag (without a vacuum)
Choose a bag of suitable width and place your product in the bag. Open the lid of the vacuum device
and place the open end of the bag over the sealing strip, but not into the vacuum chamber!
Close the lid and press it lightly whilst shortly pressing the seal button. The seal indicator will light up.
After approximately 3 seconds you may let go of the lid; it will stay in its closed position. Wait until the
seal indicator goes out.
Now press the release button, open the lid and take your vacuum bag out. Carefully inspect the seal.
A proper sealing will be transparent over the entire length. If the sealing is mottled, white or milky or
even crumpled, then it is not properly sealed. In this case, cut off the sealing and create a new sealing
in accordance with the abovementioned steps.
Wait at least 45 seconds before you seal a second bag.
