WELCOME
Congratulations on your purchase!
Wartmann hopes that you will enjoy your new
Wartmann® vacuum device. Using the Wartmann®
vacuum device, you can keep your food fresh for a
longer period of time in the fridge or freezer. As the
Wartmann® vacuum device efficaciously removes
the air, the storage times may be up to five times
longer. Using Wartmann® vacuum bags and special
storage boxes, you can store your food longer,
wasting less food and ultimately saving costs.
The Wartmann® vacuum device is perfectly suitable
for storing or preserving various household items.
And while doing sous vide cooking, the Wartmann®
vacuum device is an excellent choice.
The Wartmann® vacuum device combines the
vacuuming function with a sealing function. With
the cutter on the Wartmann® vacuum device you
3
determine the correct size vacuum bag and you can
even re use vacuum bags. The Wartmann® vacuum
bags can simply be put in the fridge or the freezer.
They are also ideal for sous-vide cooking techniques.
With the supplied vacuum hose you can also use
the Wartmann® vacuum storage boxes. As a result,
food can be kept longer and tastes better. The hose
can also be connected to the Wartmann® bottle
stoppers to preserve your wine.
A good choice
The Wartmann® vacuum device is made of
extremely durable materials and can deliver a
negative pressure of no less than -60 KPa (0.6
bar) with a capacity of 5 litres per minute. The
Wartmann® vacuum device is easy to operate with a
single touch button. The Wartmann® vacuum device
is compact, easy to clean and suitable for most
Wartmann® vacuum bags, rolls and boxes. The
Wartmann® vacuum device is equipped with a
built-in overheating protection and an energy saving
mode.
Following the instruction manuals and maintenance
instructions you will enjoy your Wartmann® vacuum
device for many years.

IMPORTANT
This instruction manual contains information for the
use and maintenance of your Wartmann® vacuum
device. Read this instruction manual carefully before
using the Wartmann® vacuum device and keep it for
possible later consultation.
Only suitable for domestic purposes
This device is exclusively intended for common
household use. In case of (semi)-professional or
incorrect use, usage not in accordance with the
instructions in the manual, or self-performed repairs,
the warranty expires and Wartmann will decline any
responsibility for any damage caused by this.
Not suitable for children
The Wartmann® vacuum device may not be
operated by persons under 16 years of age. After
use, make sure that the Wartmann® vacuum device
is in a safe place, out of reach for children.
Check electrical connections
Check if the voltage indicated on the Wartmann®
vacuum device conforms with the local mains
voltage before connecting the vacuum device.
In case the plug, power cord or the Wartmann®
vacuum device itself is damaged, repairs must
be carried out first or the relevant part should be
replaced by a qualified service centre.
Prevent the vacuum device from coming
into contact with water
The Wartmann® vacuum device contains electrical
parts and heating elements. Never rinse the vacuum
device under the tap and do not immerse the vacuum
device in water. Make sure that no water ever enters
the vacuum device to prevent electrical shock and/
or damage to the vacuum device. The Wartmann®
vacuum device is not suitable for the dishwasher.
When cleaning the Wartmann® vacuum device,
always switch off the device completely, with the plug
5
out of the socket. Do not operate the Wartmann®
vacuum device with wet or damp hands.
Contains heating elements
The Wartmann® vacuum device is equipped with a
sealing strip. This is briefly heated, therefore, wait
15 seconds before opening the cover. The sealing
strip may still be warm after opening the lid. To
avoid overheating, wait 30 seconds before using the
seal function again. In case of imminent overheating
of the device, the built-in overheating protection will
switch on automatically. After cooling for about 10
minutes, the Wartmann® vacuum device is ready for
use again. Do not position the vacuum device near
flammable materials (such as curtains) or cleaning
agents (such as methylated spirit).
Use original accessories
This manual applies to the optional use of
Wartmann® accessories. For accessories from other
suppliers, other instructions may apply.

FOOD SAFETY
Vacuum-packaging
When vacuum-packaging food in vacuumbags
or -storage boxes, most of the surrounding air is
extracted whilst the inflow of fresh air is being
prevented. This way the storage life of food is
lengthened. Vacuum-packaging helps to prevent
freezer burn, which is the dehydration of the surfa-
ce layer of the food. This is characterised by white
or brown-red discolouration of the food.
Vacuum-packaging contributes to the preservation of
the taste and the overall quality of the food. It slows
the growth of aerobic micro-organisms that could
cause:
• Mould. As mould won’t grow in environments with
little oxygen, the vacuum-packaging will strongly
reduce the risk of moulding.
• Fermentation. Fermentation can be noticed by the
odour or taste of the food. Fermentation requires
water and sugar and will develop at room
temperature. Fermentation can also develop when
air is lacking. In order to slow the yeast growth
items should be cooled, only at deep-freezing
temperature, this growth will come to a halt.
• Bacteria. Bacterial growth can often be recognised
by a nasty smell, discolouration and a soft or slimy
layer. Under specific circumstances, clostridium
botulinum, which causes botulism, can grow without
air. This is rare, but also extremely dangerous. You
can neither smell nor taste it.
The vacuum-packaging is no replacement for cooling
or deep-freezing. Perishable foods that require
cooling or freezing, must still be kept in the
refrigerator or freezer.
