3.2. Instructions for vacuum packing with bags
1. Connect the vacuum sealer to the mains.
2. It is recommended to wait 15 seconds for the machine to warm up before
starting the first vacuum packing.
3. Introduce the food product you wish to vacuum seal in a suitably sized em-
bossed bag, leaving about 5 cm between the edge of the bag and the content.
4. Lift up the upper lid (3) of the machine. Place the bag properly spread out
over the non-stick sealing bar (9), making sure it is centred within the vacuum
chamber margins (7).
5. Lower the upper lid and press the sides to secure it, the system is properly
closed when you hear a "click" on each side. With the pressure from the closing
system, the bag is locked within the vacuum chamber (8). If you need to open
the upper lid once it has been locked, press each side again and gently pull the
lid up.
6. To start the vacuum process, press the "Vacuum/Seal" button. With the pres-
sure from the "easy close system", the bag starts o compress when the vacuum
pump is activated. It is possible that the vacuum gaskets (6) become damaged
and the bag is not properly locked within the vacuum chamber. In this case,
we recommend you press the upper lid for the first 10 seconds of the vacuum
process and replace the vacuum gaskets as soon as possible.
7. This model of vacuum sealer is designed to operate automatically. By pres-
sing the "Vacuum/Seal" button, the sealer changes from the vacuum stage to
the sealing stage automatically. The machine is equipped with a vacuum mea-
surement sensor, which executes the sealing process once the vacuum level
reaches - 700 mbar. To cancel the vacuum process, press the "Cancel" button.

8. The sealing process can also be initiated manually, by pressing the "Seal"
button. By doing so, you can seal the bag at my time, before reaching maximum
degree. This function is especially useful when vacuum packing fragile products
or ones you do not wish to squash, such as: pastries, cakes, fish, etc...
9. Once the bag is sealed, the machine stops automatically and the lid is relea-
sed. To remove the bag, gently pull the lid up.

3.3. Special Functions

- "Pulse" Function: for greater precision when manually vacuum packing fragile
foods, by pressing the "Pulse" button, the machine will vacuum the air con-
tained in the bag while the button is held down. The button can be pressed
intermittently for greater precision. Once you have reached the desired level of
vacuum, press the "Seal" button to start the sealing process. When this stage
ends, the lid opens automatically.
- "Extended Seal Time" Function: by activating this option, the sealing time is
lengthened by one second (the V Advance model is configured with a 6 second
sealing process by default). This function improves the quality of the seal and is
especially useful for the following cases:
- Packing humid foods, for example: fresh meat, soft cheese, fish...
- Using bags with over 100 microns of thickness
- Using the vacuum sealer in cold environments (temperatures under
10ºC), in this case it is recommended to activate this option for the
first 3 vacuum seals.
To activate this function, all you have to do is press the "Extended Seal Time"
button once; when it is activated a led light will turn on the top of the button. To
deactivate this function, press the same button again and the light will turn off.
WARNING: do not use this function continuously for more than 10 consecutive
uses, as it may cause the sealing bar to overheat.
