Getting The Appliance Ready For Use; Sealing A Plastic Bag-Closing The Bottom Of The Bag - Gastroback PLUS Bedienungsanleitung

• Do not spill or drip any liquids on the appliance. Do not operate the appliance on wet
or damp surfaces. When liquids are spilled on or under the appliance, immediately unplug
the appliance and dry the appliance to avoid risk of electric shock or fire.
• Only use the designated foils and containers for vacuum packing. Unsuited foils will
melt on the sealing band and/or carbonize. Unsuited or damaged containers could burst
with splinters hurled around. Additionally, food will be inedible, when contaminated with
splinters. Always check the containers for perfect condition, before each use.

Getting the Appliance Ready for Use

WARNING: Do not let young children play with the appliance or any part
of it or the foils/bags.
1. Unpack the appliance and remove all promotional materials and packaging. DO NOT
remove any warning labels or the model label. Ensure that there are no foreign objects (e.g.
packaging) in the interior of the appliance. Pay attention that the foam rubber seals (in the
base and lid of the appliance) as well as the sealing band and sealing gasket are level and
clean. Otherwise, the appliance cannot generate a vacuum and/or close the bags air-tight.
2. The power cord is placed in a chamber in the base plate of the appliance. Unwind the
power cord and insert it in the cable guide at the rear of the base plate.
3. Place the appliance on a convenient and dry surface. (See: ›Important Safeguards‹).
Ensure to have enough space in front of the appliance to lay down the bags.
4. Connect the appliance directly to a mains power supply wall socket with protective con-
ductor (earth/ground; 220-240 V, 50 Hz, AC). The appliance is now ready for use.
Sealing a Plastic Bag—Closing the Bottom of the Bag
IMPORTANT: Only use the designated foils or bags for vacuum packing. Any other foils/
bags melt on the sealing band, thus damaging the sealing band and/or sealing gasket.
NOTE: Always let the appliance cool down for approximately 30 seconds with the lid left
open after each sealing process to avoid overheating.
1. Cut the foil to a desired length. In this way, you can specify the size of the bag. Make
sure that the piece is not too short. (picture A).
TIP: Make sure to leave approximately 8 cm of foil above the food for being able to seal
the bag. When starting with a plain foil roll, at least 2 cm of foil will be necessary additi-
onally for the lower seam of the bag.
2. Get the appliance ready for use as described in ›Getting the Appliance Ready for Use‹.
Press the lock release buttons on both sides of the appliance to open the lid (picture B).
3. Ensure the gaskets (foam rubber seal, sealing gasket) are
clean and no foreign substances stick on the sealing band.
4. Place one open end of the foil on the sealing strip (picture
C). The end of the foil does not need to extend over the black
foam rubber seal into the vacuum chamber, because there is no
need to operate the vacuum pump for sealing the bottom of the
bag.
NOTE: To get an air-tight seam, the foil must be completely
