Important Safeguards Carefully read all instructions before operating this appliance and save for further reference. Do not attempt to use this appliance for any other than the intended use, described in these instructions. Any other use, especially misuse, can cause severe injuries or damage by electric shock, moving parts, heat or fire.
• After each sealing process let the appliance cool down for approximately 30 seconds (with lid left open) before starting again. Only use the designated foils, bags and containers with the appliance to avoid damage. Ensure that the appliance will not suck in any liquid or powder. • Do not vacuum pack inflammable liquids (e.g. alcoholic beverages, solvents). Caused by low pressure, large amounts of liquid will evaporate, thus building-up a hazardous explosive mixture.
• Always handle the power cord with care. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. Keep the cable away from any hot surfaces (e.g. sealing band of the appliance). Never pull, rip, bend, clamp, squish or knot the power cord. Attend to nobody getting caught in loops of the power cord or pulling the appliance off the work space. When pulling the plug always catch hold of the enclosure of the plug.
Technical Specifications Model: Art. No. 46008 Design Vacuum Sealer Plus Power supply: 220 - 240 V AC, 50 Hz Power consumption: 120 Watt Length of power cord: ca. 1.25 m Weight: ca. 1,4 kg Dimensions: ca. 37.0 cm x 14.4 cm x 7.4 cm (width x depth x height) Certification: Advantages of Vacuum Packing Air, light and temperature above 0 °C make food easily perishable. The process of vacuum packing removes up to 90% of air inside the bag or container and seals it air-tight.
• For best results do not overfill the plastic bag or containers. Leave about 8 cm free space (foils) or 3 cm (containers) above the food. Otherwise the appliance cannot generate a vacuum or liquids or small parts of food can be sucked in (especially if powdery or finely ground) and damage the vacuum pump. Always work with special care, when vacuum packing runny food or beverages. • Pre-freeze moist food before vacuum sealing (1 – 2 hours).
