:Warning – Risk of burns!
The sealing bar in the vacuuming chamber becomes
extremely hot if the appliance is used frequently and
there are long heat-sealing times. Never touch the hot
sealing bar. Keep children away from the appliance.
Notes
■ At the highest vacuuming level, the process may last
up to 2 minutes. After this time, the bag is heat-
sealed and the vacuuming level that is reached
lights up.
■ After vacuuming, check the heat-sealing seam on
the bag. Carefully try to pull the seam apart. If it
comes apart, select a higher heat-sealing level the
next time. If the seam is deformed, it has become
too hot. Select a lower heat-sealing level the next
time or leave the appliance to cool.
■ If you vacuum food in bags several times in
succession, the heat-sealing column becomes
increasingly hotter. This may impair the quality of the
heat-sealing seam. After several vacuuming
processes, you should therefore select a lower heat-
sealing time or leave the appliance to cool for
approx. 2 minutes between the processes.
Heat-sealing in good time
Use this function if you only want to pack your delicate
food in a bag so that it is air-tight, without the contents
sitting too tightly against the bag.
When air is being extracted from the bag, touch the
» symbol to end the process and heat-seal the bag
early.
The appliance displays the vacuuming level until it is
reached.
At the end of the process, the chamber is ventilated and
an acoustic signal sounds. You can now open the glass
lid and remove the heat-sealed vacuuming bag from the
chamber.
Note: To heat-seal the bag, the vacuum-sealing drawer
requires a specific degree of vacuum. If you touch the
» symbol first, the vacuum-sealing drawer pumps air
out of the chamber until this degree has been reached.
The bag is then heat-sealed.
Cancelling the vacuuming process
When air is being extracted from the bag, touch the
stop symbol to cancel the process early.
The appliance displays the vacuuming level until it is
reached.
The bag is not heat-sealed. The lid opens slightly and
the chamber is ventilated. An acoustic signal sounds.
You can now remove the vacuuming bag from the
chamber.
Carrying out the drying program for vacuum
pump
When vacuuming food, the smallest volume of water
gets into the vacuum pump system. This effect is
exacerbated when you are vacuuming liquids or
extremely moist food. For this reason, the appliance
comes with a drying function, which further removes
any liquid that gathers in the pump.
If the Á symbol is lit white, it is recommended that you
run a drying cycle. However, at this point, you can
continue to use the appliance as normal if you wish.
If the Á symbol is lit red, you must run a drying cycle.
Proceed as follows:
1. Tightly close the glass lid and hold it there.
2. Touch the Á symbol.
Drying will now start. It will take between 5 and 20
minutes. The Á symbol will flash red while drying is in
progress. You can close the vacuum-sealing drawer
while drying is in progress.
At the end of the program, the chamber is ventilated
and an acoustic signal sounds. You can now open the
glass lid.
Note: It may be the case that a single drying cycle is
not sufficient. If, after one drying cycle, the Á and
A symbols are lit red, there is still moisture in the pump
system. Wait until the A symbol goes out and start
another drying cycle.
