Safety and Warranty
2. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord, plug, after the appliance malfunctions, is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Return the unit to the nearest authorised service facility for examination, repair or
electrical or mechanical adjustment.
3. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause re, electric shock or
injury.
4. Do not use outdoors.
5. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.
6. Household or light commercial use only, except where differently indicated.
7. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
8. Acoustic level less than 60 dBA.
• Be careful during machine operation as heating elements are present on the welding bar.
• Only use compatible bags for food preservation or those supplied with the unit.
• Do not put the unit into water and do not use it if the plug or power cable are wet to avoid risks of re or
electric shock.
• Do not overll the bags to avoid risks of damage to the unit.
• Carry out any operations on the unit (cleaning included) with the power cable disconnected from the socket
to avoid risks of electric shock.
• Vacuum packaging does not replace other preservation methods but it can be combined with them.
• Perishable food requires cooling or freezing to prevent deterioration. Vacuum packaging prolongs
preservation times and helps keep original quality of the food product.
• Pre-packaged products must be used within the date indicated on packing.
• A higher vacuum level corresponds to a lower oxygen quantity with resulting possibilities of better
preservation.
• Liquids shall be refrigerated before packaging to prevent them from leakage which can be sucked into the
vacuum chamber.
• Clean the vacuum chamber in case of liquids or powder. Make sure to let the vacuum chamber dry after
cleaning.
• To reduce risks of electric shock, this product must be connected to a grounded plug. If the socket does not
t the plug, contact a qualied electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
• Close supervision is required when this product is used near children.
• Products in powder or grains shall be covered with a cloth before being vacuum-packaged so that they are
not sucked into the vacuum chamber and do not obstruct the valve.
• Containers unsuitable for vacuum packaging can implode through the effect of air pressure and cause
damages and injuries. In case of storage in freezers, only special containers in toughened glass shall be
used.
• The air pump and the welding system are equipped with thermal protection: in case of overheating the unit
stops automatically and can resume work after cooling.
• Experience and practice will enable you to obtain the best results with each product.
• Wrinkles and creases on the bag surface can prevent the package from reaching a satisfactory vacuum
level. To avoid such inconveniences, place the bag in spread conditions within the vacuum chamber.
• Adjustments related to operation are to be carried out by the manufacturer or authorised technician, both
for safety and reliability purposes.

Operation
USE OF THE MACHINE
All numbers in brackets (#) refer to those listed in the “Parts Breakdown” section of the manual on page 8.
Plug the machine in, making sure the socket has suitable voltage for the unit. The unit is now ready for
operation. Press switch (1) to start the air pump and air suction. Press the switch again to stop the unit. When
the air pump is working, press switch (2) to operate the welding bar until the automatic relay switch on. The
unit stops automatically after a pre-determined time or by pressing the on/off switch. The green LED (4) also
acts as welding time meter: during welding it ashes as many times as the number of seconds set. The red
LED lights up when a sufcient vacuum level has been achieved. Nevertheless welding can be postponed to
reach a higher vacuum level; this operation does not cause any damage to the unit.
CHANGING THE DEFAULT SETTINGS
SEALING TIME
• Connect the unit.
• Press and keep pressed the seal switch.
• Press and keep pressed the start switch.
• Wait at least 2 sec. to start defaults settings.
• Press and release the start switch the number of seconds to be set (each press and release is one second
of seal – each time the green led lights).
• Release the switches.
Default sealing time is 7 seconds.
Be careful! Don’t set more than 9 seconds or the Teon protection of the sealing bar can burn.
TO SET TO DEFAULT AGAIN
• Press and keep pressed the two switches.
• Connect the unit.
TO CHANGE FROM THE AUTOMATIC TO MANUAL USE
• Disconnect the unit.
• Press and keep pressed the start switch.
• Connect the unit.
• Wait the green LED light.
TO CHANGE FROM THE MANUAL TO AUTOMATIC USE
• Disconnect the unit.
• Press and keep pressed the seal switch.
• Connect the unit.
• Wait the green LED light.
VACUUM PACKAGING IN BAGS
Introduce the product into a bag suitable for vacuum food preservation; leave at least 3 cm free room from
bag opening. Lift the cover (6) and place the bag (spread out well with no wrinkles) on the welding bar (9), on
the left of the slide (11). Make sure that the open side of the bag is inserted in the vacuum chamber (8). Put

9
Operation
the power cable into a socket and start the air pump by pressing switch (1). Slightly press your hands on the
cover (6) to produce an initial depression in the vacuum chamber until the bag starts adhering to the product
(pressing as long as vacuum packaging has been completed is not necessary). When the vacuum level is
reached, the welding will start automatically. After welding the unit stops.
Cod. 9340 N – 9340 NAUS – 9340 NCSA– 9342 N (S-T-R-B): Push laterally the opening valve of the cover (7)
to lift the cover and remove the bag.
Cod. 9346 N (F) – 9348 N (F): the opening of the cover is automatic. Before storing the bag, check that
welding has been carried out correctly. No wrinkles capable of letting air in shall be present.
VACUUM LEVEL
The vacuum packaging unit is supplied with a vacuum sensor, installed in the electronic board, which makes
a red LED light up when a certain vacuum level (varying between –680 mbar and –750 mbar) is reached.
The vacuum level depends on the shape of bag content. It is possible to postpone welding to reach a higher
vacuum level without causing any damage to the unit. The vacuum level which the unit can reach depends
on food (or object) quality and shape. For example, a rigid structure of the material in the bag can produce air
residuals that cannot be removed and will prevent the vacuum gauge from reaching the maximum level. There
are also products (such as sh, tomatoes, etc.) containing liquids which, in case of compression, leak out
and can be sucked by the machine with resulting damages. Other products that are not very compact can be
damaged or crushed with an excessive vacuum level. We recommend checking the adherence of the bag and
welding before operation.
