Vacuum sealing with plastic bags and rolls

Always place the appliance on a dry, stable and level base. Please provide for sufficient space
in front of the appliance to place the bags with the food to be vacuum-sealed.
Connect the mains plug to a socket corresponding to the voltage the appliance is designed for
(see technical data). The bags are available in two widths: 20 cm and 30 cm. Opt for the bag
size suitable to accommodate your food to be preserved. Make sure that the bag is at least 8 cm
longer than the food to be vacuum-sealed.
a) Vacuum sealing with bags
Open the cover (5) completely. Put the food into the bag, however without creating wrinkles
or straining the surface of the bag. Remove any liquids and particles from the area of the bag's
inner surface where the sealing seam is meant to be. Put the bag with its contents in front of the
appliance and place the bag's open edge into the vacuum chamber (10) (fig. G). Shut the cover
(5). First press down on both sides of the cover with your thumbs and then press the LOCK-but-
tons (6) so that they lock in place (fig. H). Press the START/STOP/MAN SEAL button (1) and the
appliance starts to vacuum-seal automatically (fig. I). Wait until the ON/VACUUM/SEAL indica-
tor (2) goes off. Press the manual valve (4) to open the cover (fig. L) and remove the bag. Check
the sealing seam. The appliance can be stopped at any time by briefly pressing the START/
STOP/MAN SEAL button again (1). If required let the LOCK-buttons (6) disengage by pressing
down on the sides of the cover (5) with both hands.
