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.
Any operation, repair and technical maintenance of the appliance or any part of it other than
described in these instructions may only be performed at an authorised service cen- tre.
Please contact your vendor.
• This appliance is for household use only and NOT intended for use in moving vehicles.
Do not operate or store the appliance in humid or wet areas or outdoors. Any use
of accessories, attachments or spare parts not recommended by the manufacturer may result
in damage and/or injuries to persons.
• Check the entire appliance and its accessories regularly for proper operation—especial- ly
the power cord. Do not operate the appliance, when the appliance or any part of it is likely to
be damaged, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock or any other damage and/ or injuries to
persons. The appliance is likely to be damaged if the appliance has been subject to
inadmissible strain (e.g. overheating, mechanical or electric shock), or if there are any cracks,
excessively frayed or melted parts, or distortions, or if the appliance
is not working properly. In this case, immediately unplug the appliance and return the entire
appliance (including all parts and accessories) to an authorised service centre for examination
and repair.
• This appliance is NOT intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance or
any parts of the appliance or the packaging. Always keep the appliance where it is dry and
clean and where young children cannot reach it. Do not leave the appliance unattended, when
it is in reach of young children or when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• Risk of suffocation! Do not let young children play with the foils or bags or packaging.
• Never place heavy or hard objects on the appliance or any part of it. Take care that
no one will pull the appliance by the power cord.
• The work space has to be easily accessible, solid, even, dry and of sufficient size.
Immediately wipe off spilled liquids. The sealing band could get very hot as a result of repeated
sealing processes. Avoid touching the sealing band immediately after operati- on with any
parts of your body or heat-sensitive items.
• Do not place the appliance near the edge of the table or counter or on sloping or wet
surfaces or where it can fall. During operation free space of 20 cm to the sides and
1m above the appliance should be left for sufficient ventilation. Do not place any cloth or tissue
under or on the appliance, to avoid any risk of fire, electric shock or overhea- ting. Do not use
the appliance in wet or humid areas.

• 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 appli- ance will not suck in any liquid or
powder.
• Do not vacuum pack inflammable liquids (e.g. alcoholic beverages, sol- vents). Caused by
low pressure, large amounts of liquid will evaporate, thus building-up a hazardous explosive
mixture. Additionally, the appliance will get damaged.
• Containers used for vacuuming may not have any cracks and scratches. Thus, carefully
check all containers used with the appliance for perfect condition. Do not use any other than
the designated containers. Damaged or unsuited containers can burst under vacu- um with
splinters hurled about! Always handle containers under vacuum with special care, to avoid
bursting. Do not consume any food from a crushed container, because splinters could be in
the food, thus causing severe injuries.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply. Always unplug
the appliance, and wait until the sealing band cooled down, before moving, or cleaning, or
when the appliance is not in use. Do not grasp the appliance at the open lid or power cord for
moving the appliance.
• Always unplug and wait for the appliance to cool down, before cleaning or storing. Close the
lid to protect sealing band and gaskets for moving or storing.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads), or any corrosive
chemicals (e.g. bleach) for cleaning. Do not immerse the appliance or power cord in water or
any other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the appli- ance, or on the power cord to avoid
risk of fire and electric shock. When liquids are
spilled in the motor housing or sucked in, immediately switch OFF the appliance (STOP
button), unplug the appliance, and wait for the appliance to cool down. Thereafter, clean and
dry the appliance thoroughly. (See: Care and Cleaning)
• DO NOT place the appliance or any parts in an automatic dishwasher.
Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to
connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protec- tive conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (240 V,
60 Hz, AC, rated for at least 8 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended.
If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
• Do not use multiple electrical adapters. We recommend avoiding the usage of exten- sion
cords. However, if you wish to use an extension cord, ensure that the protective conductor is
connected properly.
