Cycle B) For maximum air extraction even for complex food such as an entire cleaned chicken,
a slice of Emmenthal cheese or a fish. Proceed as follows:
a) Insert the food in the Bag (see point 4), and eliminate any liquids or food residues from the inside
of the end of the bag that must be sealed.
b) Lay the bag with its contents in front of the machine, placing the open end inside the Vacuum
Chamber (8) (fig. L and L1).
c) Close the machine by rotating the Handles (1) to the START position (fig. M) and, looking through
the Lit WINDOW (3), make sure the open end of the bag is inside the vacuum chamber (8) (fig.
M1).
d) Press the "vacuum" button (2G) to start the manual vacuum cycle (fig. P).
e) Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute after the last blue LED sector on the Progress Display (2C) is lit and
then activate sealing by pressing the "seal" button (2H) (fig. P1).
f) Wait for the LED seal light (2B) in the centre of the Progress Display (2C) to stop flashing.
g) Unlock the Cover (5) by rotating one of the two Handles (1) (fig. O) and remove the bag.

8 - Automatic cycle in canisters
Use this cycle to perform vacuum packing in Canisters or in canisters sealed with Universal Lids.
ATTENTION: Only use original canisters since they are resistant to the vacuum created, while other
types of canisters could implode due to the vacuum created by the machine and cause injury.
Universal Lids, available in two diameters 100 mm and 125 mm, are to be used with food storage jars,
casseroles and tempered glass bowls.
ATTENTION: With Universal Lids, do not use plastic or glass canisters that are not made for vacuum
packing since they could implode due to the vacuum created by the machine and cause injury.
