MAINTENANCE
Before the appliance is handled for cleaning, maintenance or repair, it should be
disconnected from the electricity grid.
If the power line is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-
sales service or by personnel with similar qualifications in order to avoid danger.
9.1
Cleaning
Clean the vacuum packer regularly and carefully.
Cleaning the vacuum packer with pressure cleaning equipment is HARMFUL to the
appliance and may cause the appliance to break, and it will void the WARRANTY.
To clean the stainless-steel outer casing, use a damp cloth with water and detergent.
The lid must be cleaned with a damp cloth soaked in water; chemical products must
not be used.
DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF LIQUID WHICH CONTAINS ALCOHOL, ACID, DETERGENTS,
SOLVENTS OR EQUIVALENT TO CLEAN THE LID.
Failure to comply with these instructions may break the lid and void its warranty.
9.2
Vacuum pump oil
Periodically check the oil level, topping up where necessary, according to the maximum and
minimum levels.
Use the type of oil recommended by the vacuum pump manufacturer (depending on the
model).
Oil in a good condition will be transparent. If it turns white, this means that it has taken on
water from the condensation of the damp vacuumed air which would entail that it has lost its
characteristics and must be replaced.
The oil may also take on a dark colour due to vacuumed dirt, which would entail that it has lost
its properties and must be replaced.
The vacuum pump used by this appliance is not prepared for working in extremely hot/cold
environments. Operating temperature range is 12-35ºC.
9.3
Sealing bar
Periodically check the condition of the Teflon adhesive tape and the sealing tape. They must be
in perfect condition and not have any defects.
9.4
Water-tight seal on the lid
Periodically check the condition of the water-tight seal on the lid. It must be in perfect
condition.
