USE INSTRUCTIONS

Warning: When not using the machine, keep the Handles (1) in the STORAGE position. Do not close
completely in order to avoid damaging the Airtight Gasket (7).
Before each use, carefully clean your machine and accessories that come in contact with food
(canisters, lids, jars, etc....) following the instructions provided in paragraph "CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS".

1 - Positioning the machine

Position the machine in a dry place on a horizontal surface, being careful to leave the work zone
around the machine itself free of obstacles and wide enough to allow for placing the bags of food
to be packaged. Connect the power cable to an electrical outlet corresponding with its voltage (see
the information label).

2 - Connecting the machine

Insert the Power Cable Plug (17) in the outlet. Check for correct connection by rotating the Handles
(1) in the START position; on the Display the GREEN ON LED (2a), the BLUE LED (20) for the "turbo"
pump speed and the RED LED (2L) for the "humid" sealing mode will light up.

3 - Adjustments

Adjustments must be selected each time a packing cycle is started. These, in fact, reset the Handles
(1), rotating them to the OPEN position..

3.1 - Setting the sealing mode

Berkel Vacuum is equipped with an intelligent sealing function that auto-adjusts the sealing
according to the temperature of the Sealing Bar which increases little by little with consecutive
packing cycles. Therefore, the final bag sealing result can be influenced by the type of food to be
packed or the temperature of the room.
Thus, to optimise the final result you can choose form 3 sealing modes:
• "dry" for dry foods like cookies, rice and coffee
• "medium" for cheeses, dry meats and salami
• "humid" for red meats, which have liquids or blood, and fish.
When the machine is turned on, the sealing option is always set to "humid".
To set the sealing mode, before starting the packing
cycle, press the "sealing mode" button (2M) to
select the mode desired (fig. A).
ATTENTION: The sealing mode selected remains
memorized until the Handles (1) are rotated to the
OPEN position. The selection must be done at every
packing cycle.
