6. PREPARATION

6.1 VACUUM BAGS USE

1) Vacuum sensor calibration: before using the machine for the first time, it’s necessary to calibrate the vacuum sensor, complaining to the atmosphere pressure (depending on the altitude). To operate the calibration, switch on the machine keeping the VAC button pressed, release the button after 2 seconds and then close the lid. The machine will automatically start the calibration. The calibration procedure takes about 2 min. and end by air return in the vacuum chamber. The calibration needs to be repeated only in case the machine was moved to another place at a different altitude.

2) Choose the vacuum bag, according to the function (storage or coking) and to the product size (the product should not take more than 2/3 of bag usable volume).

3) Open the lid and ensure that the vacuum chamber and the product are both dry. When placing the food into the bag, be careful not to dirty or wet the inside of the bag near the opening, so as not to compromise the sealing function.

4) Place the PE fillers inside the chamber based on product size (Fig. 1); inserting the maximum number of fillers relative to the size of the bag will save time during the preparation cycle, by reducing the amount of air needed to be sucked.

5) If the “bag support grill” option is available, and depending on the size of the product, place the bag on this support for smaller sealed bags, or place the bag on horizontal side in the case of larger bags (Fig. 2).

6) Place the vacuum bag containing the product onto the grill, in a central position onto the sealing bar

, so that the open side must overpass at least 2 cm the sealing bar.
