We thoroughly recommend that you keep these instructions and, if you pass
the appliance on, that you also hand these instructions to the new owner.
For your own safety, please observe the following safety measures when
using elec trical appliances:
1. To avoid electric shock, neither the vacuum sealer, power cable nor plug are
allowed to come into contact with water or other fluids. Water can enter the
housing and damage the appliance! If the appliance or power cable / plug should
come into contact with water, immediately pull the plug out from the socket
using dry rubber gloves.
2. Do not operate or unplug the appliance with wet or moist hands or feet.
3. Before using the appliance, check that the voltage stated on the type plate
matches your mains voltage.
4. Do not leave the power cable hanging over table edges so that it can be pulled.
Make sure that it does not come into contact with hot surfaces, such as hot-
plates or a radiator, or that they come into contact with the appliance.
5. Keep the appliance away from hot gas, hot ovens and other heat-emitting appli-
ances or heat sources. Never use the appliance on a hot or wet surface. Never
