OPERATION
The machine includes 20 default programs. These programs can be
named and the settings customized for specific needs. See Create
Custom Programs and Labels on page 4 for instructions.
NOTICE: Never pack products that can be damaged by vacuum
packaging.
NOTICE: To reduce condensation and corrosion risk for the pump,
cool products before packing.
NOTICE: When packing food, always select a program that includes
Liquid Sensor Control.
NOTICE: Special instructions apply for packing liquid products. See
Packing Liquid Products on page 3.
NOTICE: The machine is designed for a maximum use of five hours

.
Place the Product in the Chamber
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Sealing bar may become hot after repeated use. Do not touch
the sealing bar when placing vacuum bags in the chamber.
1. Place the food product in a vacuum sealing bag that fits completely
within the chamber.
2. Place the bag in the chamber with the open end over the sealing
bar. Make sure the bag is smooth, without wrinkles or folds.
3. For small products, place one or more insert plates under the
product. This fills empty space in the chamber, which reduces the
cycle time.
4. Multiple vacuum bags can be placed over the sealing bars. Do NOT
overlap vacuum bags.
Run the Program
1. Close the lid. Do NOT use the lid retainer. Using the lid retainer
during a packing cycle will interfere with the cycle.
2. The program automatically starts.
3. The lid opens when the last function is complete.
4. Remove the packed product.
5. Wait 15 seconds before packing another product.
Stop a Cycle
• Stop the vacuum function and continue to the next function,
press .
• Stop and cancel the entire cycle Press
Packing Liquid Products
Special care needs to be taken when vacuum packing liquid or moist
products.
• Cool foods before packing. Hot food quickly reaches the boiling
point, which can lead to an insufficient seal.
NOTICE: Hot products create condensation, which can damage
the pump.
1. Use the included incline plate and magnetic positioning bars to
position the bag so the liquid is below the sealing bar. Magnetic
bars are shipped attached to the underside of the incline plate.
2. Use a program that includes the Liquid Sensor Control function.
This will prevent the product from boiling.
NOTICE: Boiling will increase the amount of moisture that enters
the pump, which can lead to corrosion.
3. Run the Pump Conditioning Program at the end of the work day.
