6. WARNING!
After sealing the bag do not touch the sealing bar j with the fingers as it reaches very high temperatures. If sealing is
performed for too long, and there is melted plastic residue on the bar, allow the sealing bar j to cool down and then
remove the plastic residue using a blunt utensil.
7. Before cleaning or servicing the appliance, disconnect it from the mains by pulling out the plug.
8. Should the appliance break down and/or not work properly, turn it off and do not tamper with it. If it needs repairing, take it to an
authorised IMETEC Service Centre.

the plug from the socket. We also recommend making all potentially dangerous parts of the appliance harmless, particularly for
children who might be tempted to play with it.
