Note on use
▪ If the appliance is visibly damaged, do
not use it. Call Customer Services.
▪ If the appliance is not functioning prop-
erly, disconnect it from the power supply immediately.
▪ Ensure the mains cables of other elec-
trical appliances do not get trapped in
the appliance. The electrical cable insulation could become damaged.
▪ If the mains cable of the appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by our
Customer Services in order to avoid
hazard.
▪ Ensure there are no foreign bodies or
pets in the vacuum drawer before closing it.
▪ Objects that could pose a danger if the
appliance were accidentally switched
on must not be stored in the vacuum
drawer. This includes in particular containers with gas or air chambers (e.g.
spray cans).
▪ Repairs if carried out incorrectly may
cause a safety hazard. Risk of electric
shock! Only a technician from our Customer Services may carry out repairs.
Caution: Burns hazard
▪ The sealing bar on the appliance gets
very hot. The sealing seam of the vacuum bag also heats up strongly during
the sealing process.
Caution: Risk to life
▪ Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging
material, e.g. plastic film and polystyrene, away from children and animals. Packaging material can be dangerous for children and animals.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪ Open and close the appliance lid
slowly.
▪ Do not put any objects on the appli-
ance, especially any sources of heat or
cold. Do not drop any objects on the
appliance lid.
▪ Only chilled food should be vacuum
sealed.
▪ A maximum of 40 vacuum and sealing
processes can be carried out one after
the other.
▪ When vacuuming or cleaning make
sure no water gets inside the appliance
and in particular into the suction inlet of
the vacuum pump. Use a moderately
damp cloth for cleaning. Do not spray
the outside or the inside of the appliance with water. If water gets inside the
appliance, it will cause damage.
▪ Take care not to damage the lid gasket
with pointed or sharp objects. Do not
use any cleaning agent to clean the lid
gasket – use just a damp cloth.
Caution: Risk of injury
▪ Do not sit or lean on the appliance or
use it as a storage surface.
▪ Made from glass, the appliance lid is
under tension. Damage to the surface
of the glass may cause it to shatter. The
appliance must not be operated if the
lid is cracked or broken. Contact Customer Services.
