Dear Customer,
Before using the appliance for the first time, please read this manual carefully, paying particular attention
to the safety regulations outlined below.
1. Important safety instructions
• The sealing bar can reach high temperatures during and after the employment.
Therefore we urge you to beware and to avoid a direct contact until the indicated part
isn’t completely cooled.
• All machines can activate the sealing bar even if the lid is open, with all the related
thermic risks.
• The employment of the device is only for interior rooms.
• The device musn’t be opened by the final user.
If the electric cable is damaged or some electric reparations are needed people must
adress to the constructor or to the technical service in order to prevent risks.
• Read these instructions before using the machine. Keep them with the machine for
future reference.
• Keep the working environment tidy and clean.
• Keep children away from the machine working area.
• Use the vacuum packer for the purpose for which it was designed only. Applications other
than vacuum packing will devoid the warranty and may be dangerous.
• Do not overload the machine. Look after the machine carefully.
•
Rest the device on a stable, safe surface. Dropping the machine may cause severe damage.
• Do not pack liquid foods or substances inside bags to avoid danger and prevent damaging
the device beyond repair.
• To pack foods with a high amount of liquid substances inside, eliminate the excess fluid
carefully using a cloth or food-safe paper before packing; alternatively use a rigid con-
tainer or lids for jars made available by the manufacturer in different sizes.
• Check for foreign objects (knives. blades, tools, etc.) near the sealing bar before starting
each process.
• Always stop the machine, turn the switch to zero and unplug the power cord before start-
ing any operation (e.g. cleaning, checking packed products, adjustments, etc.) to prevent
unexpected start-up. This precaution must also be adopted when the machine is not
working. Check that mains voltage and frequency correspond to those shown on the ma-
chine and that the plug is proportioned to the drawn current.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories.
• This is an electrical device. Never submerge the machine in water.
• Never expose the machine to jets of water.
• Never pull the cord to unplug the machine.

EN
• The power socket you use must be connected to earth and your electrical system must
be provided with an automatic circuit breaker.
• Entrust replacements of the power cord and electrical repairs to specialised personnel
only.
• The machine must be installed and used by only one operator at a time. It is not designed
to be operated by more than one person at a time.
• The protective measures applied do not eliminate completely the risk of upper limbs
burns.
• While working, the welding bar reaches high temperature. Therefore it’s really important
to avoid any contact with the bar till it cools completely.
• Electrical connections to the power supply system should be done by qualified personnel
only.

The machine essentially consists of a main struc-
ture (A) entirely made of ABS plastic, inside which
the electrical panel and the vacuum generating
working unit are arranged. No interventions are re-
quired on the working unit (except for supplemen-
tary maintenance which should be entrusted to the
manufacturer). It is recommended not to intervene
in any way except for the specific operations de-
scribed in this instruction manual.
The sealing bar (D), which seals the bag at the end
of the process, is arranged outside the structure on
the lower front of the machine. A gasket (E) delim-
its the fixed part of the decompression chamber,
where the bag opening is arranged for packaging.
The mobile part of the decompression chamber is
filled on a mobile lid (C) connected to the structure
by means of two hinges to be arranged on the bag
opening during the process.
3. Starting up
• Remove the machine from its packaging, ar-
range It on a work surface and make sure if is
stable.
• It is important that all four feet of the device rest
on the surface to ensure that the lower part of
the machine is secure when the lid (C) is closed.
This is required for correct air suction.
• It is advisable to keep the machine packaging in
case you need to deliver it to have it repaired.
• Carefully clean the machine before starting it up.
• Wipe with a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth to
clean the structure. Use a dry cloth only to clean
the control panel.
• Never use acid or caustic products.
• Insert the plug in the socket.

4. Operating mode
VACUUM IN BAGS
• Switch on the machine with the on – off button (1).
• Open the mobile lid (C).
• Place the bag about 1 cm inside the machine de-
compression chamber - the chamber is delineated
by the gasket (E). During the stage make sure that
nothing inside the bag is near the sealing bar (D).
• On closing the lid (C), the suction pump will start
automatically; apply a slight pressure and wait for it
to close onto the bag opening.
• At the end of the vacuum process, the bag sealing
resistance will turn on automatically.
• When the sealing is completed, the pump will stop
and the lid (C) will open automatically.
VACUUM IN CONTAINERS
• Switch on the machine with the on–off button (1).
• Open the mobile lid (C).
• Connect the vacuum tube to the suction fitting (F).
• Place the food inside the container and close it
with the special container lid.
• Place the suction sensor in such a way as to
close the lid tub, making sure that the rubber
ball is inside the special tub on the lid itself.
• To start suction press the V button (2) without
closing the mobile lid (C).
• The machine starts
• The 3 leds (4) on the display flash in sequence.
• At the end of the vacuum cycle, the machine
stops without sealing.
VACUUM IN ROLLS
• Plug the machine in and turn it on
• Cut the roll at the desired length
• Open the lid (C) and place the bag opening exact-
ly on the sealing bar (Teflon) ahead the decom-
pression chamber.
• Close the lid (C) and apply a slight pressure on
the two sides for a few seconds in order to start
the automatic cycle.
• Press (3) in order to proceed to the sealing.
• It is now possible to insert food into the bag and
proceed with the standard vacuum cycle
IMPORTANT!
Always use bags proportionate with the product
to be vacuum packed, otherwise (e.g.: if a very
large bag is used for only a little product), the de-
vice will take longer to complete the cycle.
Therefore, after you have finished the sample
bags provided with the machine select the most
suitable bag size for your packing needs from the
attached list and order the bags from the same
retailers.
5. Correct bag sealing
The following suggestions are useful to prevent
incorrect packing, which could compromise food
preservation.
None of the bag contents must get between the
sealing bar (3) for sealing the bag correctly.
IMPORTANT!
The vacuum may escape from a sealed bag after
a while.
Causes of this problem may be:
• The bag was not perfectly sealed (sealing tem-
perature not suitable for the type of bag used).
• Food residues got between the sealing bar.
• A sharp object (bones, fish bones, hard cheese
rinds, etc.) may have pierced a tiny hole in the
bag (possibly not visible to the naked eye).

6. Cleaning
As mentioned above, it is indispensable to switch
off the machine and unplug the device at the end
of each process before carrying out any cleaning
work.
• Use a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth to clean
the machine structure (A).
• Use a dry cloth only to clean the control panel (B).
• Use a damp cloth or warm water or window
detergent to clean the Teflon-coating of the
sealing bar (D). This is needed whenever plastic
material residues appear on top of the sealing
bar (D).
Never use acid, caustic or abrasive products for
cleaning.
7. Maintenance
No routine maintenance is required. However, per-
fect cleaning after use is needed to keep the ma-
chine in perfect conditions of use.
It is advisable to use only genuine spare parts
made by the manufacturer for supplementary
maintenance and replacements to avoid problems
due to different production characteristics.
8. Optional accessories
The machine can be used to vacuum pack any type
of foodstuff. Liquids can be packed in the two-set
containers (from 0,6 to 2,5 lt) supplied by the man-
ufacturer.
9. Faulty operation and unexpected stops
If the lid (C) does not remain stuck to the compart-
ment underneath at the beginning of the process,
check that the gasket (E) has not been dislodged on
either the mobile lid or the fixed part underneath.
Also, check that the bag’s mouth is completely in-
side the gasket (E).
In the event of unexpected machine stops during
processing, before seeking the cause of the prob-
lem, quickly disconnect the electrical power supply
by switching off the machine are then disconnect-
ing the power cord from the socket.
After this:
• If the stop is due to a blackout, wait for normal
conditions to be restored before plugging the
machine back in.
• If the problem is due to causes related to the
electrical circuit, call the retailer to have the
necessary machine checks carried out by the
manufacturer.
IMPORTANT!
Though slowed down, bacterial proliferation con-
tinues also under vacuum.
Therefore food that needs refrigeration is to be
kept In the fridge or freezer. Pre-packed food
must be consumed within the best by date given
on the package.

10. Recykling
The crossed bin symbol on the appliance indicates
that the product, at the end of its life span, must
be disposed of separately from domestic waste,
ei-ther by taking it to a separate waste disposal
site for electric and electronic appliances or by
returning it to your dealer when you buy anoth-
er similar appliance. The user is responsible for
taking the appliance to a special waste disposal
site at the end of its life span. Failure to do so may
incur penalties under the waste disposal regula-
tions in force. If the disused appliance is collected
correctly as separate waste, it can be recycled,
treated and disposed ecologically; this prevents
negative impact on both the environment and
the health. For further information regarding the
waste disposal services available, contact your
local waste disposal agency or the shop where
you bought the appliance. The manufactures and
importers do not take the responsibility for recy-
cling, treatment and ecological disposal, either
directly or through a public system.
