Setup
14.6.1
Setup location requirements:
In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the setup location
must fulfil the following prerequisites:
The device must be set up on a firm, flat and horizontal surface with sufficient load-
bearing capacity for the vacuum sealer system and the maximum weight of the food
that should be vacuum-sealed.
Choose the setup location in such a way that children cannot reach the hot sealing strip
of the device.
Do not set up the device in a hot, wet or extremely damp environment or near
flammable material.
The device requires an adequate flow of air in order to operate correctly. Leave a
clearance of 10 cm around the device.
Do not move the vacuum sealer system when it is in operation.
The electrical socket must be easily accessible so that the power lead can be
disconnected easily, in the case of an emergency.
The installation and assembly of this device in non-stationary setup locations (e.g. on
ships) must be carried out by specialist companies / electricians, provided they
guarantee the prerequisites for the safe use of this device.
14.7
Electrical connection
In order to ensure the safe and trouble-free operation of the device, the following
instructions must be observed for the electrical connection:
Before connecting the device, compare the connection data (voltage and frequency) on
the rating plate with those of your electrical network. This data must agree in order that
no damages occur in the device.
If in doubt, ask your qualified electrician.
The connection between the device and the electrical network may employ a 3 meter
long (max.) extension cable with a cross-section of 1.5 mm². The use of multiple plugs
or gangs is prohibited because of the danger of fire that is involved with this.
Make sure that the power cable is undamaged and has not been installed under the
oven or over hot or sharp surfaces.
The electrical outlet must be protected by a 16A safety cut-out switch.
The electrical safety of the device is only guaranteed if the device is connected to a
properly installed protective conductor system. If in doubt, have the house installation
checked over by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be made responsible for damages that are caused by a
missing or damaged protective conductor.
