Installation of a plug
If the plug is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home, it can be
removed and replaced by a plug of the correct type. If you remove the
plug it must not be connected to a 13 amp socket and the plug must
be disposed of immediately.
NOTE: If the terminals in the plug are not marked or if you are unsure
or in doubt about the installation of the plug please contact a qualified
electrician.
If a 13A 3-pin plug is fitted, it must be an ASTA approved plug,
conforming to BS1363 standard. Replacement fuses must be BSI or
ASTA BS1362 approved.
The wires in the mains lead are coloured as such:
BROWN - LIVE
BLUE - NEUTRAL
Please note that the colour of these mains wires may not correspond
with the colour markings that identify the terminals in your plug.
The BROWN coloured wire must be connected to the terminal, which
is marked with the letter "L" or is coloured RED.
The BLUE coloured wire must be connected to the terminal, which is
marked with the letter "N" or is coloured BLACK.
Solution
The unit has overheated. Wait until the overheat warning light goes out before using.
Make sure the open end of the bag is inserted into the drip tray.
Check to make sure both gaskets are fitted properly.
Check to make sure that at least one end of the bag is sealed.
Open the unit and check to make sure that there are no foreign objects, dirt or debris on the upper or
lower gaskets.
Make sure there is enough room at the top of the bag (75 mm) so it will fit into the drip tray with lid
closed and latched.
Make sure the accessory hose is not attached.
Make sure the lid is fully closed (the green band is showing around the latch and the green power
light is on).
There is too much liquid in the bag. Freeze the bag contents before vacuuming.
To prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch the bag flat while inserting the bag into the drip tray
and continue to hold bag until vacuum pump starts.
Create a second seal above the first seal on the bag to ensure a proper seal when sealing moist
foods.
Make sure the lid is fully closed (the green band is showing around the latch and the green power
light is on).
