USE OF THE MACHINE
Vacuum-packaging
1. Connect the bipolar plug, if 220V/240V, or the three-pole plug, if 380V/415V, to the current outlet.
2. Press the line main switch 7 and the ON/OFF button thus connecting the electric circuit which supplies
the modular card for the automatic cycle phases.
3. Set the vacuum time (or percentage) required, the sealing time and the gas injection time (if the
machine is equipped with such a system).
4. Position the bag (or bags) inside the vacuum chamber; put the bag opening perfectly flat on the sealing
bar. Put the exceeding part of the bag, if any, in the fissure between the chamber and the sealing bar.
5. Two or three removable food atoxic polyethylene shelves are positioned inside the vacuum chamber to
level the product thickness according to the sealing bar. The polyethylene shelves can be removed or
left inside the vacuum chamber depending on necessity..
6. Lower the bell-lid and press adequately on it until it remains closed, thus permitting the work cycle to
begin.
7. The different cycle phases are automatic and after a time preset by the manufacturer the bell-lid opens
thus enabling the subsequent cycles to begin.
Vacuum-packaging with inert gas injection (Optional)
1. Set the work cycle with inert gas injection on the control panel by pre-selecting the relevant time.
2. Connect the hose coming from the gas cylinder to the hose connection positioned on the side/rear of the
vacuum packaging machine (1 fig. 6) by means of the relevant clamp, then set the gas cylinder gauge at
a pressure value of 1 ATA.
3. Position the bag containing the product inside the vacuum chamber, fitting the gas nozzle inside the bag
opening (1 fig. 7); make sure that there are no folds obstructing the gas flow.
