Main risks

• Burns from contact with the hot sealing bar/strip after repeated cycles.
• Pinching or trapping of fingers when closing the lid or engaging the lock.
• Cuts from the integrated blade or when trimming bags and rolls.
• Electric shock or short-circuit due to moisture, spills, or a damaged cable/plug.
• Risk of suffocation from plastic bags and sheets, especially for children and pets.
• Food contamination due to defective seals, punctured bags, or breaks in the cold chain.
• Liquids or foams being drawn into the appliance, risking damage and spills.
• Overheating of the appliance due to continuous use without adequate breaks.

Safe use

• Place the vacuum sealer on a stable, dry surface with space for ventilation; keep the cable away from hot or wet areas.
• Keep hands away from the vacuum area and sealing bar during operation; allow it to cool between seals.
• Use only compatible, food-grade vacuum bags and rolls; avoid damaged bags or reused ones with residue.
• Do not overfill; keep the bag edge clean and dry to achieve a uniform seal.
• Cool cooked foods before sealing; pre-freeze liquids or sauces to prevent them being drawn into the appliance.
• If the model has a drip tray or filter, empty it and monitor its level during use.
• Stop use immediately if there is a burning smell, smoke, sparks, or unusual noises, and unplug.
• Check each bag after sealing (continuous closure, free of creases and leaks) and label with the date; refrigerate or freeze as appropriate.

Storage and maintenance

• Unplug before cleaning. Do not immerse the appliance or expose it to jets of water; wipe with a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Regularly clean the sealing bar, the gasket and the vacuum area; remove food residues and empty the drip tray.
• Check the cable, plug, gaskets and lid; do not use the appliance if you observe damage, looseness or deformation.
• Store the vacuum sealer in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight; allow it to cool before storing.
• Keep bags and rolls in their packaging, protected from dust and moisture.
• Do not place weight on the lid or objects inside the compartment when not in use.

Usage restrictions

• Domestic use. Avoid prolonged continuous cycles; allow pauses to prevent overheating.
• Not suitable for use by children; keep the appliance, blade and bags out of their reach. People with reduced mobility or sensitivity should be supervised.
• Do not use the appliance if it is wet, has been dropped, or shows visible damage.
• Do not vacuum-seal very hot or boiling foods or those that release a lot of gases; they can compromise the seal and food safety.
• Do not vacuum-seal hot alcoholic liquids, flammable substances, or objects with unprotected sharp edges.
• Do not cover ventilation grilles or slots during use, nor modify the appliance or use accessories not recommended by the manufacturer.
