the appliance immediately to an authorised service centre
or your dealer.
- Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply after

CLEANING"
1 Positioning the appliance
Position the appliance in a dry place on a level surface, making
sure that the work area in front of the appliance itself is clear
of obstacles and there is enough room to accommodate the
bags with the food to be packed. Plug the power cord into a
power socket corresponding to the voltage of the appliance
(see technical details).
2 Tips on using bags
The bags are available in two widths: 20 and 30 cm. Choose
the bag size suited for the food you intend to preserve. Check
that the bag you are going to use is at least 8 cm longer than
the food to be packaged, taking into account an additional 2
cm for each time the bag will be subsequently reused.
Note: If you are using pre-cut bags, go directly to step 4
below.
3 Making bags from rolls
- Unroll a bag of suitable length and cut it using the Cutter
(12) as shown in Fig. A, moving it from rim to rim. Now
you can seal an open side of the cut bag as follows:
- Lift the lid (2) and turn it in the open position.
- Seal either of the two open ends of the bag by positioning
it on the sealing gasket (8) with the smooth side facing
down (fig. B).
Warning: be careful not to let the bag hang over into the
vacuum chamber (9) or on the sealing gasket (7).
- Close the lid (2) and push down on the front corners of
the lid with your thumbs, then push the LOCK buttons (5)
into the locked position (fig. C). The appliance will
automatically carry out the complete vacuum packing cycle.
Wait until the ON/SEAL light goes off (1).
- Press down on the rounded recessed area of the manual
valve (3) to release the lid (fig. D).
- Lift the appliance lid putting the fingers under the central
projecting part and remove the bag.
- Check the quality of the seal obtained, which should appear

as a regular, wrinkle-free crosswise strip with no internal
ridges in the bag (fig. E).
4 Vacuum packing with bags cut from a roll or pre-cut
bags
- Lift the lid (2) and turn it in the open position.
- Place food in the bag without creasing it excessively or
stretching surfaces. Eliminate any liquids or food residues
from the area inside the bag that will be sealed.
- Place the bag and its contents in front of the appliance
and place the open end inside the vacuum chamber (9)
with the smooth side facing down (fig. F).
- Close the lid (2) and push down on the front corners of
the lid with your thumbs, then push the LOCK buttons (5)
into the locked position (fig. G). The appliance will
automatically carry out the complete vacuum packing cycle.
Wait until the ON/SEAL light goes off (1).
- Press down on the rounded recessed area of the manual
valve (3) to release the lid (fig. H).
- Lift the appliance lid putting the fingers under the central
projecting part and remove the bag.
- Check the quality of the seal obtained, which should appear
as a regular, wrinkle-free crosswise strip with no internal
ridges in the bag. (fig. I)
- You can interrupt a packaging cycle already in progress at
any time by means of the manual valve (3), keeping it
pressed until the machine turns off.
5 Vacuum packing in Executive containers or in containers
sealed with Universal Caps with new knob
Executive containers and Universal Caps with star-shaped
knob (see fig. L) make vacuum packing easier, because the
connection hose can be directly introduced into the knob
central hole (see fig. M).
Universal Caps, available in two diameters (100 mm and 125
mm), are to be used on jars for preserving food and bowls
and receptacles made of tempered glass. The Universal Caps
work just like the Caps for Executive containers.
WARNING: When using Universal Caps do not use plastic
or glass containers that are not suitable since they could
implode under the vacuum pressure of the appliance
and cause injury.
