or trip over the cable.
The power cable must not be folded, bent or tangled, and must
always remain fully unrolled. Never place the device or other
objects on the power cable.
Do not cover the cable. Keep away the cable from operating
range and do not immerse it into water.

Do not immerse the device in water or use it when the plug or
power cable is wet. If such a case occures while operating, put
on the rubber gloves and pull out the plug immediately. Do not
touch or remove the device when immersed in water until
the plug is pulled out from the power supply socket. Do not
use the device when removed from water (dispatch it immediately to the authorised service point or your vendor).
Check the power cord regularly for damage. Do not use the

We recommend using Bartscher bags for vacuum packing. If
you do not use the above-mentioned bags, the smooth side of
a bag for vaccum packing should be in contact with the sealing
rail to perform multiple vacuum packing.
