Causes of Damage
NOTICE
Check the appliance for damage before each use. Pay
▯
close attention to the integrity of the glass lid.
Do not operate the appliance if it appears to be
▯
damaged. Call customer service.
Slowly open and close the glass lid.
▯
Do not place any objects on the glass lid. Do not use
▯
the appliance as a work surface or storage space.
Ensure that no objects can fall onto the glass lid. To
use it, pull the drawer out completely until it stops.
Close the drawer completely if you are not using it.
Before closing the glass lid, make sure that there is no
▯
debris in the vacuum-sealing compartment.
Ensure that the seals are not damaged by pointed or
▯
sharp objects.
Check that the seal on the glass lid is positioned
▯
correctly. Make sure that the seal's contact surface is
clean and free from debris. Otherwise, this may impair
the functionality of the appliance.
Do not operate the appliance if the seal is defective. If
▯
you do so, this may damage the appliance. Call
customer service.
Observe the cleaning instructions.
▯
In the event of a power failure during the vacuum-
▯
sealing process, the vacuum in the vacuum-sealing
compartment is preserved. Never attempt to use a tool
to open the glass lid. Wait until the power supply has
been re-established and restart the vacuum-sealing
process.
Do not vacuum-seal food in its original packaging after
▯
you have opened it. Only use bags that are suitable for
vacuum-sealing food.

In the vacuum, liquids start to heat at low
▯
temperatures. This produces steam and may cause the
appliance to stop working.
–
Make sure that the food to be vacuum-sealed is at
the lowest possible initial temperature – within
the range of 36 – 46 °F (1 – 8 °C) is best.
–
Never vacuum-seal liquids in the vacuum-sealing
bag at the maximum vacuum-sealing level.
–
Recommendation: Vacuum-seal liquids in the
vacuum-sealing bag at vacuum-sealing level 2.
–
Carefully monitor the vacuum-sealing process. It
is normal for some bubbles to form when vacuum-
sealing liquids. Heat-seal the bag as soon as the
bubble formation visibly increases.
–
Tip: You can also vacuum-seal liquids in fixed,
commercially available vacuum-sealing
containers. Use vacuum-sealing level 3 for this.
When vacuuming, do not use any plastic bottles
or other vessels that contract during external
vacuuming.
