VACUUM PACKAGING MACHINE

on the label located on the bottom of the device. Keep the cable away from hot
surfaces.
• Attention! Do not handle the electric wire for any reason.
For any damage, please consult your retailer.
• The shell of this device is not protected against the penetration of liquids.
• Under extreme conditions of use (voltage being 10% more than the rated voltage
and temperature around 40°C), the intensive use of the device may require the
triggering of automatic devices for thermal protection. In this case, await until the
device cools down, before using it again.
Do not perform any vacuum packaging cycle for more than 10 times
consecutively; besides this limit, the automatic systems for the thermal
protection of the device may trigger.
We suggest to await at least 60 seconds between one sealing and the
following one.
• Use only original bags of the manufacturer.
NOMENCLATURE AND FUNCTIONS
1 "ON/OFF" BUTTON: By pressing this key:
• the device creates automatically the vacuum and the sealing of the bags
• the device creates the sealing (bag sealing function) if you use the rolls.
Caution: The key is pressed when the cover is closed and the air suction and
sealing begin immediately. Do not press this key manually.
2 SEALING STRIP: it performs the sealing.
3 SUCTION CHAMBER: area where the open end of the bag is located to allow
the air suction and the removal of eventual exceeding liquids.
4 LIQUID COLLECTION TANK
5 SEAL: it creates the optimal sealing in the suction chamber in order to create
the vacuum within the bags.
6 COVER: it creates the sealing necessary to create the vacuum in the bag.
7 SEALING GASKET: it assures the adhesion of the bag to the sealing strip.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
After closing the cover, it is necessary to slightly press it in the centre
with one hand. The device starts the operation cycle. After a few seconds,
release your hand.
USE OF THE BAGS
1) Before each use, clean carefully the device following the instructions given in
16
Instructions and warranty
paragraph "Cleaning and maintenance".
2) Place the device on a flat and stiff surface and leave the working area in front of
the device free of hindrances, as well as enough space to allow the leaning of
the bags with the food to be packaged.
3) Place the food to be stored evenly in the bag. Make sure the bag is about 8 cm
longer than the food to be stored.
4) Lift the device cover and connect the cable to an outlet complying with the data
of the rating plate applied on the device bottom.
5) Place the open end of the bag inside the suction chamber as shown in Figure
2, with the smooth side facing upwards. Make sure that the inside of the bag,
where the welding will be performed, is clean and free from any food particles.
It must be stretched and unwrinkled.
6) Press firmly with both hands on either side of the lid until you hear the motor
start. Attention! Pressing of the lid on the "ON/OFF" button immediately and
automatically starts the air suction and sealing of the bag.
Wait a few seconds and when the device switches off, press the "CANCEL" button
located above the lid.
7) Lift the lid, check sealing of the bag and store in the refrigerator, freezer or
cupboard.
USE OF THE ROLLS
The roll allows to prepare bags in the length desired, suitable for the food to be
preserved.
1) Establish the length of the bag, considering the length of the food to be preserved
and adding at least 8 cm; add further 2 cm for each time that the bag is reused.
2) Unwind the roll and using the sharpen scissors with long blades cut it in the
wished measure.
3) Position one of the two open ends of the bag on the sealing strip with the
smooth part upwards.
Caution! Do not let the bag project in the suction chamber or on the gasket.
Make sure that the bag is well stretched, clean and without wrinkles.
4) Press firmly with both hands on either side of the lid until you hear the motor
start. Attention! Pressing of the lid on the "ON/OFF" button immediately and
automatically starts the air suction and sealing of the bag. Wait a few seconds
and when the device switches off, press the "CANCEL" button located above the
lid.
5) Lift the lid, check sealing of the bag and store in the refrigerator, freezer or
cupboard.

6) Proceed as described under points 3-7 of paragraph "INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE - USE OF THE BAGS".
VACUUM PACKAGING FOR LIQUIDS
To vacuum package the liquids, it is necessary to pre-freeze them. Place the liquid
food in a suitable container and then put it into the freezer for about 12-18 hours,
then remove it from the container and insert it into a bag for vacuum packaging.
Remove the air and seal the bag as described in the paragraph "instructions for use";
then place the bag in freezer.
These foodstuffs can be defrosted by dipping them into boiling water or using the
microwave oven. To preserve liquids in vacuum packages, it is possible to use either
the bags or the suitable containers for vacuum packaging.
SEAL OR BAG-CLOSING FUNCTION
This device can have the function of bag closing, without necessarily creating the
vacuum.
Just place the end of the bag that you want to seal, perfectly clean and well stretched
on the sealing strip.
Caution! Do not let the bag protrude into the suction chamber or on the sealing gasket.
Press firmly with both hands on either side of the lid until you hear the motor start.
Attention! Pressing of the lid on the "ON/OFF" button immediately and automatically
starts the air suction and sealing of the bag. Wait a few seconds and when the device
switches off, press the "CANCEL" button located above the lid.
Lift the lid, check sealing of the bag and store in the refrigerator, freezer or cupboard.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

N.B.: before performing the cleaning procedures, make sure that the
plug has been disconnected from the power supply outlet.
Before and after the use, clean the device with a dry or lightly wet cloth paying
attention not to let liquids penetrate within the device.
It is important to remove any nylon residuals (bag) from the sealing strip using a
soft cloth, after each use, paying attention not to damage it.
Clean the sealing strip only when it has cooled down.
This unit contains precision components.
Therefore, avoid to let the device undergo extreme temperature variations, humidity,
bumps, dust and direct sunlight. Do not let the unit fall or being hit.
