CHAPTER 5
INSTALLATION
Carefully remove the appliance from the carton
or crate. Note: Do not discard the carton and
other packaging material until you have
inspected the unit for hidden damage and tested
it for proper operation.
Location
To ensure proper operation of this appliance and
its components, this appliance must be installed
on a stable and level surface, away from high
humidity items and excessive heat producing
equipment.
DO NOT store or use any flammable liquids
or allow flammable vapors in the vicinity of
this appliance or any other appliance.
DO NOT install this appliance in any area
where it may be affected by any adverse
conditions such as steam, grease, dripping
water, high temperatures, etc.
Disconnect the appliance from power
before performing any service or
maintenance operation which may require
parts.
Before connecting the vacuum packaging
machine, make sure that the voltage
listed on the UL data plate corresponds
with the voltage supplied to the
appliance.

7
Controls and inspections
Before starting the appliance, check the oil level
through the sight glass located on the
motor/pump.
(Fig. 5.1). In order to access the pump, unscrew
the back panel of the appliance and remove it.
(Fig. 5.1.) Pump oil level indicators
After checking the oil level and ensuring it is level
with the maximum oil level indicator, reinstall the
back panel and secure it with the screws you
removed. Connect the plug to the proper outlet.
If it is not the correct outlet, the outlet must be
replaced with the correct one by a qualified
electrician, as well as ensuring the fuse or
breaker is the correct current capacity for the
draw of the appliance. Do not use adapters,
multiple outlets and/or extension cords.
Do not plug in multiple appliances on the same
outlet that may exceed current capacity of the
outlet.
This appliance must be grounded properly.
If the ground prong is broken, do not use
the appliance until it has been repaired or
serious injury or death may occur.
CHAPTER 6
USING THE VACUUM SEALER
Vacuum packaging
1. Plug in the grounded plug to the correct
outlet.
2. First turn on the main power switch on the
front of the appliance. Next press the
ON/OFF button on the control and the LCD
display should light up.
3. Set the vacuum time (or percentage)
required, the sealing time and the gas
injection time (if the appliance is equipped
with this option.).
4. Position the bag (or bags) with product in
the chamber, the polyethylene shelves can
be used inside the vacuum chamber to level
the product with the sealing bar and position
the bag opening flat on the sealing bar. The
polyethylene shelves can be removed
depending on necessity. (Fig. 6.1).
5. Lower the clear bell-lid and press firmly on it
until it remains closed, thus permitting the
sealing cycle to begin.
6. The different cycle phases are automatic and
after a pre-set amount of time the clear bell-
lid opens thus enabling the product to be
removed and subsequent cycles to begin.
(Fig. 6.1) Correct bag placement in chamber
Vacuum-packaging with inert gas
injection OPTIONAL (ref. table 1)
1. Set the sealing cycle with inert gas injection
on the control panel by pre-selecting the
relative time.
2. Connect the hose coming from the gas
cylinder to the hose connection positioned
on the side/rear of the vacuum sealing
appliance by means of the relevant clamp,
then set the gas cylinder gauge at a
pressure value of 1 ATA.
3. Position the bag containing the product
inside the vacuum chamber, fitting the gas
distribution nozzle inside the bag opening
(Fig. 6.2); make sure that there are no folds
obstructing the gas flow.

Vacuum packaging of liquid or
semiliquid products
By using the vacuum sealing appliance of the
correct size, it is possible to vacuum package
liquid or semi-liquid products (soups, sauces,
etc.) thus increasing their shelf life, while
keeping the freshness and taste unaltered.
When doing so, never fill bags up more than
50% of capacity, making sure that the bag
opening is higher than the sealing bar (thus
removing the internal shelves)
1. Vacuum cycles are set as described in the
chapter Vacuum packaging.
2. The SOFT-VACUUM option allows the
packaging of liquid products.
3. All the vacuum packages can be stored in a
freezer or cooler.
Cleaning the appliance
Before cleaning the appliance,
disconnect the power.
During normal usage of the appliance, no
particular cleaning operation of the chamber
machine is required. After the end of each
sealing operation, the chamber should be wiped
out with a damp cloth. Should it be needed (i.e.
bags inner product pours out of the bag), it is
recommended to use a damp cloth and mild
detergent, rinsing thoroughly.

CHAPTER 8
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Pump heating
If the ambient temperature is below 60 degrees
F, it is advisable to pre-heat the pump in the
morning in order to liquefy the oil before it
circulates throughout the machine.
When the chamber lid is open press and hold the
PUMP GASTRO button for 3 seconds and let the
pump work for about 15 to 20 seconds, and after
that, press PUMP GASTRO button to stop the
pump.
Do not allow the pump to run continuously
for more than 30 seconds or damage will
occur, as the pump is not designed for
continuous operation.
Pump Cleaning Cycle Warning
When the appliance has run 10,000 cycles, the
display will show a warning as follows;
This shows that it's necessary to do the pump
service.
Scheduled pump cleaning cycle
Every 10,000 cycles the pump oil requires
cleaning. To start the pump cleaning cycle, push
the PUMP GASTRO button and at the same time,
lower the clear chamber bell-lid. The display will
show the following:
During this cycle, which lasts approximately 10
minutes, the pump will work intermittently.
NOTE: To end the cleaning cycle at any time,
push the ON/OFF button for 5 seconds. Once the
cleaning cycle is complete, the screen will revert
back to showing the number of programs in use.
The pump maintenance is not strictly
linked to the 10,000 cycles, but more
dependent on the product used (i.e. flour,
breading, liquids, the oil check must be
done monthly). Also, for heavy usage of
the appliance, pump cleaning must be
done every 6 months.
Internal components
Access to the appliances internal components
must be performed by a qualified service
technician, authorized by the manufacturer. In
the case of unauthorized service, doing so will
be at he/she own risk and the manufacturer
cannot be held liable for possible damage or
injury.
To reach any electrical components, it is
neccesary to remove the appliances
casing which are held in place by screws.
Before any service is performed, please
disconnect the appliance from power and
check with an appropriate meter to verify
it is safe to service.
Inner chamber maintenance and
cleaning
Because food product is being sealed, it is
important that the inner chamber be cleaned
after every use.
1. Wipe off the sealing bar(s), (Fig 8.1) with a
damp cloth and mild detergent daily,
making sure to rinse well.

2. Wipe off the silicone sealing bar gasket on
the bell-lid (Fig 8.2) every day with a damp
cloth and mild detergent.
(Fig 8.2) Silicone Sealing Bar Gasket on the
bell-lid
3. Replacement of the Silicon Sealing Bar
Gasket on the Bell-Lid (Fig 8.2).
Inspect the silicone sealing bar gasket for
wear. If it is worn, it will cause the clear
chamber bell-lid to pop open on its own,
affecting the vacuum sealing of the product
and it must be replaced. To replace it, pull it
from the gasket retainer and make sure the
retainer is clean of debris. Install the new one
by pressing in place. Close lid and test for a
seal.
4. Replacement of the Clear Chamber
Bell-Lid Gasket.
5. Replacement of Teflon Sealing Bar
The sealing bar needs to be replaced by a
qualified service technician.
Image 8.3. Sealing bar teflon
The silicone gaskets and the Teflon
sealing bar should be replaced every 200
working hours, for maximum efficiency.
The check of pump, filters and electro
valves must be done every 2000 working
hours by authorized personnel only
(Fig 8.3) Clear Chamber Bell-Lid Gasket
Remove the gasket by carefully pulling out the
gasket from the clear chamber bell-lid groove.
Ensure the gasket groove is clean and free of
debris and press a new one in place. Close lid
and test for a seal.
