 Our solutions provide you with quality and safety and are top 

of the range when it comes to energy efficiency and profitability. 

Even Napoleon knew about the advantages of long-lasting food. In 1810 he ran a competition with the 
aim of preserving foods. Nicolas Appert had discovered that food could be preserved by bottling it. The 
concept of a preserving jar was born. The first step was taken.

General safety information 

Rieber GmbH & Co. KG

 

 

General safety information 

This chapter provides information about residual risks and hazards despite compliance with the intended use of 
the device. Generally applicable safety instructions that should generally be complied with are listed here.  
Action- and situation-based safety regulations are presented as well and precede the relevant action or 
situation. 

4.1 Principles 

This device corresponds to state-of-the art technology and recognized safety-relevant regulations. 
However risks can still emerge. 

¾

 

Only use the device if it is in perfect working order and under observation of this manual. 

¾

 

Refrain from rearranging or changing the device. 

4.2 

How to use electrical devices 

Safety notes taken from EN 60745-1: 

Work area 

 

Keep your work area clean and tidy. An untidy and illit work area can lead to accidents. 

 

Keep children and other people away from the area when work is being carried out.  

Electrical safety 

 

The device connectors must fit the plugs. The connectors may not be modified in any 

way. Do not use adapters together with earthed devices. Connectors that are not 
modified and suitable plugs reduce the risk of an electric shock. 

 

Keep the device away from rain or wet. If water is allowed to enter an electrical device, 

the risk of an electric shock increases.  

 

Do not use the cable for anything other than the intended purpose to disconnect the plug 

from the socket. Always take hold of the plug only.  

Careful treatment and use of electrical devices. 

 

Keep unused electrical devices away from children. Do not allow people to use the 

device who are not familiar with it or who have not read the operating manual. Electrical 
devices are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people. 

 

Treat the device with care. Check that moving parts are functioning properly and do not 

block; check whether parts are broken or damaged and impairing the functioning of the 
device. Have damaged parts repaired before using the device. Many accidents are due to 
badly maintained electrical devices. 

Service 

 

Only have the device repaired by qualified skilled personnel and only using the original 

spare parts. This ensures that the device remains safe. 

Qualification of personnel 

 

Only '

Skilled workers

' may carry out repairs.  

According to IEC 60204-1, skilled workers are 'People who, due to their relevant 
training and experience, are able to recognize risks and avoid potential hazards.' 

 

Electrical work may only be carried out by a trained and experienced 

electrician

.

Device-specific safety information 

This chapter provides general safety information about devices from this modular series of products. Further 
action- and situation-based safety information is positioned before the specific action or situation. 

4.3.1 

Safety devices and monitoring facilities 

 

A period of about 2 minutes must lapse after each process during which the device 
can cool down. Do not use the device until after this period.  

 

The device has an indicator light which lights up green when the vacuum has been 
generated.  

4.3.2 

Do not use third-party parts 

 

The device may only be used together with the supplied power supply unit Do not 
use the power supply unit for other applications.  

 

4.4 

Information about required regulations 

In addition to this operating manual a number of accident prevention and other regulations apply for the 
operation of kitchen stations, for example the observance of the hygiene requirements as stipulated by 
the HACCP regulation. 

 

 

4.5 

What to do in an emergency

Tips for users 

You can extend the life of the vacu

lid

 

®

 seal by using a little oil.  

 

Place the lid of the vacu

lid

 

®

 in boiling water for about 3 minutes.  

 

Afterwards, rub the seal with a drop of oil.  

 

This helps preserve the elasticity of the seal.  

 

Make sure the device is not cleaned improperly.  

 

 

ATTENTION 

Improper cleaning can damage surfaces and even render the device unusable.  

 

Do not scratch the services with a sharp edge. Do not use sponges with a scratchy 
surface or steel wool or a steel brush. 

 

Do not use any scouring agents or aggressive cleaning agents, for example oven 
sprays. 

 

Do not mix standard cleaning agents; do not produce your own cleaning agents. 

 

Avoid long exposure to sodium chloride solutions, as these can stain or corrode 
surfaces.  

 

Avoid stainless steel coming into direct longer contact with rusty iron parts such as 
kitchen sponges made of steel.
