3. GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION REGULATIONS
3.1 Operating personnel of the machine
The use of the machine is reserved for trained personnel.
Personnel must be familiar with the safety regulations and instructions for use.
3.2 Electrical hazard
Work on the power supply and access to live parts is permitted only by qualified
personnel and at their own risk. In any case, this access must be done with the device
disconnected from the mains supply.
3.3 Thermal hazard
Keep ventilation openings clear of obstacles.
Do not install the machine in the vicinity of flammable products.
3.4 Hazard arising from the use of gas
The use of gas for controlled atmosphere packaging is restricted to the use of N2
nitrogen or CO2 carbon dioxide or mixtures of both.
This machine is not designed for the use of Oxygen O2 or other flammable gases.
4. INSTALLATION
Once the equipment has been received, the packaging will be carefully removed by checking
with the label (located on the back left) that it is the requested equipment. Once the
equipment has been checked, read this "Installation, use and maintenance manual" taking into
account the following precautions:
a) Personnel responsible for installation must be qualified in the installation of
machinery.
b) Check that the supply voltage/current is that required by the equipment.
c) Grounding is mandatory.
d) Check that the components of the equipment are correctly placed and undamaged
due to transport
Place the equipment on a flat surface and check that the machine is level.
The equipment must be positioned in such a way that it is protected against splashing water
and dirt.
Before starting up the equipment, check through the rear sight glass that the oil level is
between the MAX and MIN marks. If it is below the minimum, it must be filled in (see section
10 Maintenance).

5. CONTROL PANEL
MyChef iSensor packaging machines consist of an LCD display and a rotary encoder with a
central button.
Do not clean the screen surface of the packaging machine with liquids containing
alcohol, solvents, acids or detergents that may damage the screen surface and affect
its visualization.
Figure 1. LCD Screen with the whole segments
Each zone contains a series of icons and text elements that describe at all times the state of
operation of the packaging machine and allow the user to interact with the machine, changing
the packaging parameters to suit each use. The role of each of them is explained below:
The LCD display is structured in three main zones:
-The left zone or operating mode zone(A in Figure 1)
-The central zone or zone of vacuum percentage level and error indicator (B in Figure 1)
-The right zone or status zone (C in Figure 1)

6. CALIBRATION
6.1 Self Calibration system SCS
The iSensor tabletop and floor-standing 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 vacuum packer automatically detects optimal calibration conditions and can be
calibrated autonomously based on the following physical changes:
Automatic adaptation to temperature variations
Automatic adaptation to climatic variations
Automatic adaptation to height variations
Automatic adaptation to changes in oil properties.
The machine is capable of detecting both increases and decreases in the differential
pressure of the atmosphere, recalibrating accordingly.
Greater accuracy in vacuum measurement
When calibrated constantly and automatically, the values used to calculate the vacuum
percentage are dynamically updated. Therefore, the percentage of vacuum selected by the
user has a lower error than if calibration was not performed dynamically.

7. OPERATION
7.1 Powering and switching on the machine
When the machine is turned on, 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
packaging. This will be displayed on the screen with all segments flashing simultaneously for a
few seconds.
During this blinking, technical control parameters can be called up by pressing the encoder
button. These parameters may be relevant for maintenance purposes. Specifically, it will show
two parameters:
- 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 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", looped.
Figure 2. Display of vacuum pump operating hours
By pressing the push-button while the number of pump operating hours is displayed, the filler
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 the machine start
process.
Once the 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 three different ways:
- Using the encoder push button.
- Rotating the encoder in any direction.
