With those 3 test you can check the correct functioning of the appliance and the correct placing of
the bag in the vacuum chamber.
You can have a good vacuum only if there is enough empty free space between the food and the
machine to avoid the creation of wrinkles and folds can limit the vacuum reached inside the bag.
Without wrinkles and folds you can have a correct cover closing and the vacuum/seal cycle can
be done without problems.
Automatic seal can only start if the vacuum level is correct.
Good seal can be done only if the cover press correctly the sealing bar and cover can press
correctly only if a good vacuum level is reached.
The unit does not start:
1-
Check if the plug is well connected
The bag is not well sealed / Air come in the bag:
1-
In winter season, the sealing bar can be charged in humidity, at first use start a complete
vacuum/seal cycle with cover closed and no bag. To avoid problems, the unit must be stored
in a dry and no dust place at +10°-+30°
2-
Bags are nylon external part, nylon is an hygroscopic material, to avoid seal problems due to
humidity, store bags in a dry and no dust place at +10°-+30°
3-
You can have a good vacuum only if there is enough empty free space between the food
and the machine to avoid the creation of wrinkles and folds can limit the vacuum reached
inside the bag. Without wrinkles and folds you can have a correct cover closing and the
vacuum/seal cycle can be done without problems. Good seal can be done only if the cover
press correctly the sealing bar and cover can press correctly only if a good vacuum level is
reached
4-
Check if the open part of the bag is clean; placing food inside the bag can leave some food
residuals: the part of the bag must be sealed, must be proper
5-
Check if the food which is to be vacuum preserved is free of every thorns or spikes could
pierce the bag
6-
Humidity of the food can damage the seal: check if food is correctly dried or use a double
bag. Place food in a first bag, bend repeatedly the open part of the bag ( Image 8) and put
the first bag in a second one with the upper part to the bottom of the second ( Images 9 and
10). You can have same vacuum but the humidity will remains in the first bag ( Image 11)
7-
Using rolls, the first seal must be done placing the open part of the roll on seal bar only
avoiding to put in the vacuum chamber ( Image 2); the appliance can correctly seal only if
there is a correct vacuum level and the cover press correctly on the sealing bar
8-
Only seal cycle: Place the open part of the bag as per Image 2, on the sealing bar only and
not in the vacuum chamber and make a complete automatic vacuum/seal cycle to have a
good seal.
9-
If the air comes into the bag in seal cycle, and after a correct vacuum cycle, the bag is
damaged and must be changed.
No vacuum in the bag:
1-
Check the open part of the bag is correctly placed in the vacuum chamber and between the
black gasket Image 1
2-
Use the test Internal functioning, Cover and gasket and bag test to be sure the appliance is
good.
3-
Suction of liquids can damage the gasket of vacuum chamber reducing the vacuum
possibility of the machine, check the gasket and change if necessary.
4-
The appliance is prepared for use Reber embossed bags of the same type as furnished with
the machine, if used with different or other label bags the machine could not have same
performances.
5-
In Summer period, when ambient temperature became high, or in case of continued and
intensive use, the residual heat of the sealing bar could pre-seal the bag and prevents
