Other accessories that are not supplied
can be purchased separately.
There are a number of accessories available on the market. Before you buy, ensure
they are suitable for the needed use (vacuum preservation) and resistant to high
temperatures.
FIRST TIME USE
Before starting up the machine, clean the vacuum chamber thoroughly with a soft, damp
cloth. Repeat several times, rinsing the cloth in clean water each time. Do not use harsh
detergents, steel scourers, scrapers or any abrasive, acidic or aggressive substances which
could damage the surfaces of the vacuum chamber irreparably.
Set Language
The Vacuum Machine is equipped with a display that can be programmed in several
languages. To set the language, during the first start-up, press the power key for two seconds
and immediately press the key while holding it down for 5 seconds. The current language
will flash on the display: use the and keys to scroll through the list of available
options. Press again to confirm the desired selection. The device will automatically turn
off and the next time it is turned on, the display will show the texts in the chosen language.
PRELIMINARY NOTES
Vacuum packing using bags
Supplied bags are suitable for packing non-delicate food products which are not easily
crushed, such as meat, cold cuts, hard cheese, pulses, etc. They can also store liquid
foodstuffs.
The bags are available in two different sizes: 20x30 cm and 25x35 cm.
Store the bags in a cool, dry place, away from sources of light and heat.
Vacuum bags are disposable: after use, discard them, complying with local regulations on
the disposal of plastics.
Choose the bag according to the use (preservation or cooking), suitable to the sizes of the
product:
SOLID PRODUCT SHOULD NOT OCCUPY MORE THAN 2/3 OF
THE ACTUAL VOLUME OF THE BAG
LIQUID PRODUCT SHOULD NOT OCCUPY MORE THAN THE 1/3
OF THE VOLUME OF THE BAG
Note: introduce sufficiently cold foods; products cooled to 3°C (refrigerator temperature) provide the
best preservation results.

9
Vacuum packing using containers
(Not included into the product)
Vacuum containers are useful for storing delicate foods which easily crushes, and for storing
liquid foodstuffs.
Vacuum containers are neither suitable for cooking nor to be stored in the freezer. For better
performances it’s mandatory to use the specific cycle for containers only. Choose a container
suitable to the vacuum, that can enter the vacuum chamber and that, once inserted, remains
at approximately 1 cm from the closed lid of the packaging machine. Insert the product into
the container and close it.
Filling limits:
SOLID PRODUCTS 100%
BROTHS  INFUSIONS 1/2
VEGETARIAN AND MEAT SAUCES 1/3
CREAMS, CREAMBASED SAUCES 1/4
PRODUCTS BASED ON EGGS OR EGG WHITE 1/6
Note: introduce suciently cold foods; products cooled to 3°C (refrigerator temperature) provide the best
preservation results.
Storage of vacuum packed foods
Here are some important rules to follow for perfect results in the kitchen. Do not try to
vacuum pack foods which are already old or nutritionally lacking: you cannot recover quality
which has already been lost. Only vacuum pack fresh, quality produce.
• Food which has been kept at ambient temperature for an excessive period of time or
which has only just been cooked or prepared, loses its initial moisture and properties
(colour, aroma, flavour, etc.). Consequently, it is best to vacuum pack food which
has been chilled at lenght in the refrigerator until its temperature reaches +3/+6 °C
(standard refrigerator temperature). Packing the products at 3/6°C also avoids serious
damage to the appliance caused by the suction of vapors, which are easily generated at
temperatures above 6°C.
• When using vacuum bags for raw and cooked foods, remember to distribute food evenly
inside the bags to facilitate removal of air. In addition, do not overfill the bags since
this can interfere with sealing, resulting in bags which are not airtight. In this case the
vacuum would not last: repeat the procedure with a new bag and check the seal has no
openings or damage.
• Fill the bags 2/3 full at most for solid food or 1/3 full in case of liquid food or food rich in
humidity.
• It’s important to dry fruit and vegetables after washing, in order to prevent stagnation of
liquid inside bags or containers. Condensation could decrease the vacuum level once the
bag has been sealed.
• To preserve fresh meat for a prolonged period of time, chill it in the refrigerator for at
least 2 hours.
• As regards fish, first of all wash it thoroughly, scale it and remove the fins, dry it and then,
as with meat, chill it properly before vacuum packing it.
• For mature cheeses, like parmigiano reggiano, pecorino, etc. no preparation is necessary,
while for fresh cheeses, wrap them in cling film or use a vacuum container to prevent
them being squashed.
• For cold cuts in containers and in vacuum packed bags, no particular preparation is necessary.
• Storage time depends on a number of factors, including the original quality of the food
stored, the storage temperature, the refrigeration time in the case of cooked foods, the
vacuum level achieved and the quality of the vacuum bag used.

FUNCTIONS
BAG VACUUM MODE
1. Push to open the drawer.
2. Press the button for 2 seconds to exit the energy saving state.
3. Open the lid, making sure the vacuum chamber is dry. When placing food in the bag, take
care not to get the bag dirty or wet next to the opening, as this could
result in an ineffective seal.
4. Place the bag, centred on the sealing bar, in a way that the open
edge projects by about 2 cm with respect to the bar itself.
5. Make sure that the edges are positioned on the bar without any
wrinkles or folds.
6. Close the lid and hold it down while at the same time selecting the
bag cycle. Keep the lid pressed down for a few moments. In this way
the lid will remain shut and tight to the seal for the duration of the
cycle.

SEALING MODE AND SEALING LEVELS
A perfect seal is essential in order to maintain the vacuum conditions in the bag. This can be
identified by a clearly visible seal with no sign of any burns.
Moreover, check the effectiveness of the seal: after sealing, it must not be possible to pull the
edges of the bag apart. If this is not the case, transfer the food into another bag and repeat
the vacuum packing procedure.
For optimum management of bags and food contained in them, write the packing date and contents on
the space provided above the seal and return it to the refrigerator or freezer.

CLEANING
Never use steam cleaning equipment.
Do not use wire wool, abrasive scourers or abrasive/corrosive cleaning agents, as these
could damage the surfaces of the appliance.
Clean the vacuum packing machine with a soft cloth or sponge and neutral detergent.
In order to ensure hygiene and safeguard the quality of foodstuffs packed, the vacuum
chamber and glass lid must be cleaned after each use.
Use a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge and neutral detergent.
Once a month, clean the sealing bar in order to remove any residue which could negatively
impact the quality of bag sealing.
To facilitate this procedure, lift the sealing bar (2) up, removing it from the two pins. Use a
soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge and neutral detergent.
After cleaning, fit the bar on the pins, lining up the two holes on the underside of the bar
and make sure it engages securely without removing the black teflon pipe.
If you plan not to use the machine for a prolonged period of time, clean it thoroughly.
Before using again, unplug and clean it thoroughly again and restart.
Automatic drying cycle
The packaging machine prompts the need to start a DRYING CYCLE when the signal lights on.
Remove from the tray any object and residual liquid.
Press .
Wait until the end of the cycle. The duration is about 20 minutes. In case of early
interruption, the entire cycle must be repeated.
