PRODUCT MANUAL ISENSOR FLOOR STANDING - DT.MP.IP.2103.2
Table 1. Control board indicators, displays and buttons
5.2.Self Calibration System (SCS)
The iSensor floor standing vacuum packers have a fully automatic calibration system, Self
Calibration System (SCS), patented by MyChef. As a result of this automatic recalibration
algorithm of the vacuum percentage, we have the following advantages:
•Calibration without user intervention
The appliance automatically detects optimal calibration conditions and, completely
autonomously, can recalibrate itself according to the following physical changes:
-Automatic adaptation to temperature variations.
-Automatic adaptation to climate variations.
-Automatic adaptation to altitude variations.
-Automatic adaptation to variation in oil properties.
The appliance is able to detect increases and decreases in differential atmospheric
pressure, recalibrating itself as needed.
•Increased precision in measuring the vacuum
By constantly calibrating itself automatically, the values used to calculate the vacuum
percentage are dynamically updated. Therefore, the vacuum percentage that the
user selects has a smaller error margin than if it were to not dynamically calibrated.
The SCS calibration system determines when it is necessary to perform a calibration and
does so automatically without the user intervention. However, the user can force a
calibration at any time simply by making a packaging with 100% vacuum.
5.3.Connecting and turning on the appliance
When the appliance is connected to the electricity grid, a start-up process takes place where
all internal values are initialized, and safety and control checks are carried out to ensure
optimum control of the vacuum packing. This process will be indicated on the screen by the
simultaneous flashing of all segments for a number of seconds.
While the segments are flashing, you can check the technical control parameters by
pressing the centre button. These parameters may be relevant for the maintenance of the
appliance. Two parameters will be displayed:
-Vacuum pump operating hours.
-Number of vacuum cycles performed.
The first value displayed is the operating hours of the vacuum pump. This will be identified
by the "Vacuum" icon, which will light up in the right-hand block of the screen. The digits of
the number will be shown on the central display cyclically by marking the end of the digits
23
“Ready” icon
Indicates whether the machine is ready to start a new packaging cycle. If
this icon flashes, the machine will be ready after opening the vacuum
packer lid.

210208_A

PRODUCT MANUAL ISENSOR FLOOR STANDING - DT.MP.IP.2103.2
with an "H". For example, if the pump motor has been running for 20991 hours, the display
will show:"2 - 0 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 1 - H", on a loop.
Figure 2. Display of vacuum pump operating hours
By pressing the push-button while the number of pump operating hours is displayed, the
vacuum packer will go on to show the number of complete vacuum cycles it has completed.
The value will be displayed using the same method, changing the "H" that identifies the end
of the number of operating hours to a "C" for packaging cycles. In this case the value will be
identified by the "Repeat" icon.
Figure 3. Displaying the number of vacuum cycles performed
Press the central button again to finish displaying this value and continue to end the
machine initialization process.
Once the vacuum packaging machine is connected and the initialization process is
completed (whether or not the status values of the pump are consulted), it will be switched
off, waiting for the user to switch it on to start working.
The machine can be switched on in two different ways:
-Pressing any of the three buttons.
-Opening the lid.
Any interaction will put it into operation in automatic mode so that just with one more
movement of the lid it can start to pack.
¡WARNING! The Manufacturer shall not be liable for any injury to persons or
animals and damage to components resulting from improper use and not in
conformity with the machine.

PRODUCT MANUAL ISENSOR FLOOR STANDING - DT.MP.IP.2103.2
5.4.Gas injection
In some foods, it may be interesting or advisable to use antioxidant gas to improve the food
preservation or also mixtures of gas to avoid crushing the packaged product. This option is
available with all Mychef iSensor vacuum packers.
The following is a description of the precautions to be taken into account when carrying out
vacuum packaging in a protective atmosphere:
•NEVER USE FLAMMABLE GASES OR MIXTURES IN WHICH THERE IS TOO MUCH
OXYGEN, THE OXYGEN CAUSES THE FLAMMABILITY POINT OF THE MATERIALS
TO DROP AND THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION.
•THE INSTALLATION MUST BE DONE BY A SPECIALIZED TECHNICIAN.
•GAS TANKS MUST BE SECURELY FASTENED.
•THE GAS OUTPUT PRESSURE OF THE PUMP SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1 bar BECAUSE
A HIGHER-PRESSURE MAY DAMAGE THE COMPENENTS OF THE PACKAGING
MACHINE.
•ONCE THE LAST GAS OPERATION HAS BEEN MADE, CLOSE THE STOPCOCK OF
THE GAS TANKS.
•TO CONNECT THE GAS INPUT TO THE PACKAGING MACHINE A FLEXIBLE 10mm
ØINTERIOR TUBE THAT SUPPORTS PRESSURE AND SECURES THE CONNECTOR WITH
A METALLIC FLANGE WILL BE NEEDED TO BE CONNECTED.
5.5.Operating modes
iSensor vacuum packers have three different operating modes: Automatic mode, Manual
mode and Self-Cleaning mode. The operating mode is selected by rotating the encoder
(right and left) until the corresponding icon is highlighted in the left menu of the LCD screen.
5.5.1. Automatic mode
The automatic mode of operation is designed so that the user can pack perfectly and
efficiently without having to configure any parameters. This mode performs a complete
packaging cycle without the need for monitoring: it produces vacuum in the pouch by
controlling the vacuum percentage with the intelligent iVAC algorithm, seals it hermetically
by regulating the seal duration with the iSeal algorithm and automatically recovers
atmospheric pressure in the chamber.

210208_A
mychefcooking.com
12
PRODUCT MANUAL ISENSOR FLOOR STANDING - DT.MP.IP.2103.2
Figure 4. Automatic mode
Mychef patented iVAC control algorithm automatically detects and completes the vacuum
process depending on the type of food and its conditions. It is particularly suitable for the
packaging of porous foods and liquids as it prevents them from boiling and overflowing out
of the bag.
On the other hand, the iSeal algorithm regulates the sealing time of each cycle to avoid
overheating in the bar and thus avoid burning the bag. This allows the bar temperature to
be adjusted to each seal, extending the service life of all bar components and guaranteeing
perfect seals regardless of the number of cycles previously performed.
To start it, just select the automatic mode by rotating the encoder and lower the cover once
the "AUTO" icon is on.
5.5.2. Manual mode
The manual mode allows the user to fully control the packaging parameters and access
special features such as repeat vacuum cycles or extra sealing times.
Figure 5. Manual mode
Once the "MANUAL" icon has been selected, the "PROG" icon at the bottom left of the
screen will light up and the digit next to it will indicate the selected program. By default, this
will be 0. By pressing the button, the program icon will blink, allowing you to select the
different programs when rotating the encoder.
This mode is organized in 10 packaging programs, from 0 to 9. These allow you to configure
packaging parameters for a specific purpose such as making marinades or vacuuming
products with bones or pieces that may damage the bag. The programs allow you to save
these parameters and load them quickly every time you want to pack with the same
characteristics. These values do not have to be edited and entered each time, making it easy
to perform specific packaging processes multiple times over.
To edit the parameter values, press the encoder button with the selected program to be
modified. On the right size of the LCD screen, the icon related to the parameter to be
modified will start flashing; for example, if the vacuum level to be reached is changed, the

210208_A
mychefcooking.com
13
PRODUCT MANUAL ISENSOR FLOOR STANDING - DT.MP.IP.2103.2
"VACUUM" icon will start flashing (later all the parameters and their relation with the LCD
screen icons are presented). Then by rotating the encoder, you can modify the parameter
value and pressing it again saves it and jumps to the next value to be set. This process will
be repeated until all parameters are modified and saved, returning to the manual mode
starting point.
If you want to use a previously configured and saved program without editing any options,
you can close the lid once you have selected the program in question. The vacuum packer
enters the manual vacuum cycle according to the parameters stored in the memory without
any modification or confirmation of each value.
Figure 6. Edit the packaging parameters in the manual mode
All parameters are described below in configuration order:
Vacuum percentage:
This parameter sets a vacuum value expressed as a percentage, once this value is reached
the pump will switch off and jump to the next state. Once the value "Int" has been selected,
the vacuum percentage control is delegated to the iVAC algorithm explained in the
automatic mode. The icon that identifies it, is the "VACUUM" icon.
Vacuum extra time:
The extra vacuum time marks a time in seconds during which the vacuum pump is kept
turned on. This bonus is used to guarantee vacuum in very porous foods. For proper
operation this time can only be set when 100% vacuum is selected. The icon that identifies
it is the "EXTRA" icon.
Gas percentage:
This parameter determines the value of the percentage of gas with which the chamber will
be filled. This value is conditioned by the percentage of vacuum selected in the previous
parameter; The vacuum level minus the gas level must be at least 50%. The icon that
identifies it is the "GAS" icon.
Sealing time:
This time value specifies the sealing time of the bag. It marks the duration of electrical
contact on the sealing bars and must be adjusted to each type of bag. In order to know the
ideal time, it is recommended to consult with the bag supplier. As in the selection of the
vacuum percentage, selecting the "Int" value delegates control of the sealing time to the

210208_A
mychefcooking.com
14
PRODUCT MANUAL ISENSOR FLOOR STANDING - DT.MP.IP.2103.2
iSeal algorithm that will regulate this time automatically. The icon that identifies it is the
"SEALING" icon.
Atmospheric pressure recovery mode:
This parameter allows the selection of 3 types of air inlet:
1. FAST: The atmospheric pressure recovery in FAST mode allows the air to be blown
in by opening the inlet valve until the atmospheric pressure inside the chamber
recovers. It is the quickest and most suitable way in most cases.
2. SOFT: The pressure recovery in SOFT mode allows the air to enter intermittently,
controlling the deformation of the bag. This mode is useful for slowly restoring
atmospheric pressure so that the packaged food is properly molded to the pouch
and preventing sharp objects from breaking it.
3. STOP: This mode allows the pump to stop at a certain vacuum value by pressing the
encoder button or until it reaches the value determined by the vacuum percentage
parameter. The vacuum packer will hold this vacuum until the button is pressed
again. This process can be useful for marinating meat or fish or for extracting air from
sauces.
The icon that identifies it is the "AIR" icon and selecting each type of recovery is done using
the icons below it: "FAST","SOFT" and "STOP”.
Repeat multiple vacuum cycles:
It is possible to program series of repetitions of the same vacuum cycle, i. e. it allows the
vacuum to be carried out and the atmospheric pressure in the packaging machine to be
restored cyclically. In each repetition, the packer reaches the vacuum value set in the
"Vacuum percentage" parameter. If this is 100% and an extra vacuum time is set, this time is
also completed within each repetition. The atmospheric pressure inside the chamber is then
recovered. This recovery is not fully completed as a small percentage of vacuum is kept in
the chamber to avoid opening the lid, allowing another repetition to start automatically.
This process will perform as many repetitions as defined in this value, with a maximum of 9.
The icon that identifies it is the "REPEAT" icon and the digit below it marks the number of
repetitions remaining.
The gas injection is compatible with the cycle repeat mode, although it should be noted
that the gas will be injected only at the last repetition, in the same way that it is injected
when sealing is performed.
5.5.3. Autoclean
When the vacuum pump’s oil has taken on a whitish shade, due to water condensation, it
can be removed using this mode. Due to the temperature, this process means any water
that may be in the oil will end up evaporating and exiting the pump.
These water particles may cause rust particles to develop on internal components of the
pump.
➔The vacuum packer will notify the user of the need to perform a self-cleaning process
after every 200 cycles. This will happen when the appliance is connected to the

210208_A
mychefcooking.com
15
PRODUCT MANUAL ISENSOR FLOOR STANDING - DT.MP.IP.2103.2
electricity grid, or it is turned on from the “OFF” rest mode. If the lid is lowered during
this time, the “AUTOCLEAN OIL” process will begin automatically.
➔If you do not wish to perform the AUTOCLEAN process when the notification
appears, you can rotate the encoder to any direction (right and left) to go through
the menu as normal and perform the cycle you prefer.
You can run an AUTOCLEAN cycle whenever you wish by manually entering AUTOCLEAN
mode from the operating mode selection menu. The maximum duration of AUTO-CLEAN
mode is 20 minutes, although you can stop it by rotating the encoder to any direction.
5.6.Packaging
In order to pack a product, the bag (suitable for vacuum packaging) must be placed
correctly on top of the polyethylene plate, the entire bag width must be above the sealing
area. Make sure that there is no product on the sealing bar. Then lower the lid of the vacuum
packer. It is important to remember that a packaging process cannot be started while the
manual mode parameters are being set.
NOTA: It is recommended to use the safety latch on each packaging cycle.
At this point the active mode or program is started and the indicators of the processes to
be carried out (vacuum, extra vacuum, gas injection, sealing, progressive air inlet,
repetitions) are illuminated continuously:
-The vacuum process (VACUUM) extracts the air from the chamber and the central
display shows the percentage of vacuum achieved so far.
-The vacuum plus process (EXTRA VACUUM) keeps the vacuum pump running
during the programmed seconds. This is used to extract air from very porous food.
The central display shows the elapsed seconds.
-The gas injection (GAS) fills the chamber with the percentage of gas specified in the
program. The percentage of gas entered is also shown on the central display.
-The seal consists of three phases. The first is the lifting of the cylinders. During this
phase, the fixed value of the sealing duration in seconds is shown in the central
display. The second is resistance heating. In this phase the SEAL display will
progressively decrease from the previous value. The third phase, which lasts five
seconds, is the cooling of the bag and in it the SEAL display increases progressively
up to 5.0 seconds.
-The last phase is the recovery of atmospheric pressure (AIR). The display will show
the percentage of vacuum in the chamber decreasing. During this phase, the
selected type of atmospheric recovery will also illuminate; SOFT or FAST.
The active process is signalled by the associated indicator light. Once the process is
complete, the indicator will turn off.
If repetitions of packaging cycles (REPEAT) have been set up, they will be done at the start
of packaging. The "REPEAT" icon will light up and the "VACUUM","EXTRA VACUUM" or
"AIR" icon will also light up, depending on whether vacuum in the chamber, extra vacuum

210208_A
mychefcooking.com
16
PRODUCT MANUAL ISENSOR FLOOR STANDING - DT.MP.IP.2103.2
time or atmospheric pressure is being recovered. Each time a repetition is made, the digit
below the "REPEAT" icon will decrease its value until it is passed to the last packaging cycle.
All processes except pressure recovery in the vacuum chamber can be cancelled by
pressing the encoder button while running. This will take you to the next step in the cycle
until you reach the air inlet where it will end.
If the vacuum is not correctly performed, the machine will display an error (see 5.7).
3-minute rest periods are recommended between cycle.
5.7.Errors
The machine has algorithms that allow the detection of anomalous situations that can lead
to a malfunction of the machine. These situations are reported to the user via an error screen
as shown below:

6. MAINTENANCE
Before the appliance is handled for cleaning, maintenance or repair, it should
be disconnected from the electricity grid.
If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its
aftersales service or by personnel with similar qualifications in order to avoid
danger.
6.1. Cleaning
Clean the vacuum packer regularly and carefully.
Cleaning the vacuum packer with pressure cleaning equipment is HARMFUL
to the appliance and may cause the appliance to break, and it will void the
WARRANTY.
To clean the stainless-steel outer casing, use a damp cloth with water and detergent.
The lid must be cleaned with a damp cloth soaked in water; chemical products
must not be used. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF LIQUID WHICH CONTAINS
ALCOHOL, ACID, DETERGENTS, SOLVENTS OR EQUIVALENT TO CLEAN THE
LID.
Failure to comply with these instructions may break the lid and void its warranty.
6.2. Vacuum pump oil
Periodically check the oil level, topping up where necessary, according to the maximum and
minimum levels.
Use the type of oil recommended by the vacuum pump manufacturer (depending on the
model).
Oil in a good condition will be transparent. If it turns white, this means that it has taken on
water from the condensation of the damp vacuumed air which would entail that it has lost
its characteristics and must be replaced.
The oil may also take on a dark colour due to vacuumed dirt, which would entail that it has
lost its properties and must be replaced.
The vacuum pump used by this appliance is not prepared for working in extremely hot/cold
environments. Operating temperature range is 12/35ºC.
