When AirOut = 98.9% or lower, you can defi ne a Hold time.
The Hold timer will start once the AirOut value has been
reached.
When AirOut = 99%, you can defi ne a Plus time. Plus will
keep the vacuum pump running for the set time to achieve
the maximal vacuum possible, having the tiniest air pockets
being pulled out of your product.
Use the SofAir settings when vacuum packaging formed
products, beef patties, product with bones, shellfi sh in the
shell, and sausages.
We recommend the settings Air Return = 10%, and Pause =
1.0s, however you may adjust these settings to fi t your needs.
This setting will let the air return to the chamber in 10% steps
preventing ruptured sausage casings, squished product, and
holes in the bag from bones.

Never tilt or lay vacuum machine on its side.
Pump oil may move into the fi lter & sensor creating numerous issues.
Change oil frequently, especially when vacuum sealing liquids.
Food products release moisture which over time will contaminate the oil.
Maintain a low sealing time.
A low sealing time will extend the life of the Tefl on tape, seal wire and cushion.

Caution: Add oil before starting machine.
Mind the oil fi ll line, see label instructions on machine.

When AirOut = 98.9% or lower, you can defi ne a Hold time.
The Hold timer will start once the AirOut value has been
reached.
When AirOut = 99%, you can defi ne a Plus time. Plus will
keep the vacuum pump running for the set time to achieve
the maximal vacuum possible, having the tiniest air pockets
being pulled out of your product.
Use the SofAir settings when vacuum packaging formed
products, beef patties, product with bones, shellfi sh in the
shell, and sausages.
We recommend the settings Air Return = 10%, and Pause =
1.0s, however you may adjust these settings to fi t your needs.
This setting will let the air return to the chamber in 10% steps
preventing ruptured sausage casings, squished product, and
holes in the bag from bones.
