CLEANING
As mentioned above, it is indispensable to switch off and unplug the
machine at the end of each process before carrying out any cleaning
work.
· Use a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth to clean the machine
structure.
· Use a dry cloth only to clean the control panel.
· If there are plastic material residues on the sealing bar use a
damp cloth, warm water or a window detergent to clean the
Teflon-coating.
· Never use acid, caustic or abrasive products for cleaning.
MAINTENANCE
No routine maintenance is required. However, perfect cleaning after
is needed to keep the machine in perfect conditions of use.
The machine is fitted with a vacuum sensor. The machine leaves the
factory already set, but particular conditions of use may require
action on the sensor. Only in such cases, and only after checking
that the machine does not perform the automatic cycle completely
otherwise, the sensor may be set.
To carry out the setting, simply insert the wrench provided (or
alternatively a normal wrench model Torx 27) into the hole on the
lower part of the device. With the machine on in the automatic
mode, turn counter-clockwise gently and slowly until the red
warning light next to the adjustment hole flashes. At this point, run
a sealing test on a bag.
This operation is not advisable except in cases of true necessity, as
the device is supplied already with perfect settings.
It is advisable to use only original spare parts made by the
manufacturer for supplementary maintenance and replacements to
avoid problems due to different production characteristics.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
The machine can be used to vacuum pack any food.
Liquids can be packed in an oval or in a cylindrical container or in
any stiff container whose size is suitable for valve fitted lids
(containers with diameter from 42 mm to 105 mm).
FAULTY OPERATION AND UNEXPECTED STOPS
If the lid does not remain stuck to the compartment lower at the
beginning of the process, check that the seal has not been dislodged
on either the mobile lid or the fixed part underneath.
Also, check that the bag's mouth is completely inside the seal.
In the event of unexpected machine stops during processing, before
seeking the cause of the problem, quickly disconnect the electrical
power supply by switching off the machine are then disconnecting
the power cord from the socket. Then:
o If the stop is due to a blackout, wait for the normal conditions to
be restored before plugging the machine back in.
o If the problem is due to causes related to the electrical circuit, call
the retailer to have the necessary machine checks carried out by the
manufacturer.
FOOD STORAGE TIMES
The list below shows the storage times for vacuum packed food.
The storage times are indicative, the initial conditions of the food is
in fact crucial for optimal preservation.
IMPORTANT
Though slowed down, bacterial proliferation continues also under
vacuum.
Therefore food that needs refrigeration has to be kept in the fridge
or freezer. Pre-packed food must be consumed within the best
before date impressed on the package.
DANGER
The protective measures applied do not eliminate completely the
risk of upper limbs burns.
DANGER ATTENTION:
While working, the welding bar reaches high temperature. Therefore
it s really important to avoid any contact with the bar till it cools
completely.
DANGER ATTENTION:
Electrical connections to the power supply system should be done
by qualified personnel only.
