Obligations in the event of malfunctioning and/or potential
dangers
The operators must inform their direct seniors of any deficiency and/or potential
dangerous situation that should occur.
6.1 - User obligations
The user must inform the manufacturer immediately if any defects and/or
malfunctioning of the accident-prevention system are detected, as well as any
presumed dangerous situation of which he becomes aware.
It is prohibited for the user and/or third parties (excluding duly authorised
manufacturer’s staff) to make any type or entity of modifications to the machine
and its functions, as well as to this technical document. In the event of
malfunctioning and/or dangers, owing to failure to respect the afore-said, the
manufacturer is not liable for any consequences. We recommend you request any
modifications from the Manufacturer.
7 Troubleshooting
7.1 - Troubleshooting
1 After having connected the master switch, the machine does not start:
a) Check that the plug is well inserted into the socket and, if necessary, control the
contacts inside the plug itself.
b) Check that on lowering the lid, the micro switch positioned on the rear below
the left fixing hinge, is excited.
2 The machine operates regularly, but the package is not sealed when the
lid is opened
a) Lift the Teflon and check that the resistance is not interrupted and it is blocked
on the lateral clamps.
3 If the machine does not achieve an excellent vacuum
a) Close the lid and disconnect the line when a negative pressure of about 90%
has been reached. Check whether the vacuum percentage indicated on the
display remains fixed or decreases.
- In the first case, there are no leaks, therefore the problem has another source
(pump vanes, oil replacement).
- In the second case, there is the presence of air infiltration into the lid:
• Check the membrane below the sealing bar, checking that it has no holes or
is ripped
• Check the integrity of the sealing gasket positioned under the lid; if the
afore-mentioned pieces must be replaced, request them directly from the
authorised dealer.

5 Controls and maintenance
5.1 - Controls and maintenance
Access to the internal part of the machine is reserved exclusively to our special-
ised technician.
If the machine is accessed voluntarily, the manufacturer declines all civil and penal
liability regarding any accidents or damage caused to persons or objects.
All electric components are protected within the machine body and the relative
guard must be removed in order to gain access. Whenever access must be made,
remove the plug from the electric control board current socket.
5.2- Maintenance
1. Clean the sealing bars and the silicon counter-bar more or less every 15 days
using alcohol.
2. Change the oil every 400 hours of working (data variable depending on the type
of product packed).
After 2000 cycles the machine envisions an automatic oil control, the display
shows the “oil change” message. The user must call the dealer, who will
check the efficiency of the oil and will replace it, if necessary.
3. Replacement of electric resistances, Teflon sealing bar, lid sealing gaskets
about every 200 working hours.
4. Replacement of the silicon counter-bar
5. Check pump vanes, filters, pneumatic solenoid valve seals every 35,000
work cycles.
5.2.1 - Vacuum pump
For the safeguarding and the duration of the vacuum pump, follow the indications
given below scrupulously:
- Do not suck up steam, liquids and flours of any type.
This compromises the viscosity of the pump oil and damages the pump itself.
- Periodically check the pump oil level through the visual inspection window
A level below minimum can damage the pump
A level above maximum can damage the pump filter and the pump itself
- Periodically check the colour of the pump oil. If the oil appears
cloudy, dark or emulsioned, it must be replaced immediately.
- Replace the pump oil every 2 / 4 / 6 or 12 months, depending on use and location
of the equipment, or appearing the notice "change oil" on the display.
The pump oil may have to be replaced every month.
-
Replace the pump oil before prolonged machine shutdown.
ATTENTION!!:
Considering that the vacuum packaging machine is nearly always located in the
kitchen, an environment full of steam and humidity, the level and quality of the
pump oil must be checked constantly and replaced frequently and periodically.

1.4 - General recommendations and limits of liability of the
Manufacturer
Every operator-machine interaction, within the declared use ambit and the entire
life cycle of the same, has been carefully and thoroughly analysed by the
Manufacturer during the design and construction phases and when drawing up the
instruction manual. In spite of this, it is intended that nothing can replace the
experience, suitable training and especially the “good common sense” of those
interacting with the machine. The last requisites are therefore deemed
indispensible in every operational phase inherent the machine and when reading
this manual.
Failure to comply with the precautions or specific recommendations present in this
manual, use of the machine by unsuitable staff, violate all Safety Standards
concerning the design, manufacture and declared use of the supply and relieve the
Manufacturer from all liability in the event of damage/injury to objects/persons.
27
English
The table below shows some product types with the
mixtures that have been established for them.
"To guarantee the machine inlet pressure of 0.4 – 0.5 Bar, we recommend
using a pressure gauge with a scale from 0 to 3 Bar to set the gas pressure
because it is much more accurate than one with a scale from 0 to 30 Bar.
The machine could have problems during operation if the gas inlet pressure
is not as specified.
"
4.7 - Cleaning the machine
ATTENTION!
Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity before cleaning.
Do not clean the machine using a jet of water. Use non-toxic detergents only,
expressly intended for clearing components coming into contact with foodstuffs.
DO NOT use chlorine-based detergents. DO NOT use ethyl alcohol to clean the
lid. The lid must be cleaned regularly with a soft, damp cloth, using cold or warm
water, with a small amount of neutral detergent. It is recommended to avoid:
- the use of products containing: denatured ethyl alcohol, solvents in general,
Benzene, Trichloroethylene
- the use of abrasive materials and contact with sharp objects
Drying When the lid has been cleaned, it can be dried using a slightly damp
chamois cloth, without rubbing hard.
4.8 - Machine at rest
ATTENTION! If the machine is not used for a long period of time, to prevent dirt
and dust depositing inside the chamber, close and fix the lid using the relevant

4.4.2 Packaging with inert gas injection (optional)
CAUTION! ONLY USE GAS WITH A MAXIMUM OXYGEN CONTENT OF 20%.
MIXTURES WITH HIGHER PERCENTAGES OF OXYGEN ARE
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS IF USED WITH THIS MACHINE
Connect the hose from the cylinder to the fitting on the right side of the machine,
and set the pressure gauge on the cylinder to 0.4 – 0.5 Bar.
After activating gas injection
- Select a suitable program for packaging the product.
Normally the gas injection time should never exceed 6 – 7
seconds as gas saturation under the hood would cause
the pressure of the sealing bars to drop
(minimum vacuum under the hood = 70%).
- Place the bag containing the product in the vacuum chamber,
with the gas injection nozzle inserted into the mouth of the bag;
make sure there are no folds blocking the gas flow.
When using large bags, two
nozzles
can be
inserted
simultaneously to
avoid wasting gas
under the hood.
The major food-grade gas suppliers are:
You can normally find their addresses under GAS in the telephone directory.

Before carrying out any check that leads to the removal of some items, the plug
must be removed from the mains electricity.
3.3.1 - Disposal of the packaging
The packaging materials such as cardboard, nylon and wood are products similar
to solid urban waste. They can therefore be disposed of freely.
Nylon is a pollutant, which produces toxic fumes if burned.
Do not burn and disperse in the environment, but dispose according to the Laws in
force.
If the machine is in a country where there are particular regulations, dispose of the
packaging in compliance with that described by the Standards in force.
3.4 - Connections
Before start-up, check the oil level via the control window present on the pump.
Before connecting the packaging machine, make sure that the plate data
correspond with that of the mains electricity.
The plate is on the rear of the machine.
When the level has been checked and everything closed, connect the plug to the
230V socket.
In the event of incompatibility between the socket and plug, have the socket
replaced with a suitable one by professionally qualified staff.
In particular, the latter must check that the section of the cables is suitable for the
input power of the machine. In general, the use of adapters, multiple socket outlets
and/or extensions is not recommended.
Whenever their use is indispensible, only simple or multiple adapters and
extensions must be used that are in compliance with Safety Standards in force;
however paying attention not to exceed the capacity limit in terms of current value,
and the maximum power value marked on the multiple outlet.

Plate. All work on the electrical system of the machine must be carried out by
specialized staff duly authorized for its performance by the manager in charge.
Hook the machine to a power grid that has an efficient earthing connection.
3.5.1 - 3-phase machine (220 V/60 Hz)
These machine versions include 11 AWG
power cable.
The power cable is plugged into a quadripolar
3-phase socket. Hook the cable to the 3-
phase power grid, interposing a 16 ampere differential circuit
breaker.
3.5.2 - Single-phase machine (230 V/60 Hz)
This machine version includes 16 or 12 AWG power cable. This
power cable is pulgged into a tripolar single-
phase socket. Hook the cable to a single-
phase 230 Volt-60 Hz power grid, interpo-
sing a 16 ampere differential circuit breaker.
For machine versions configured with a
different voltage, contact the manufacturer
for instructions. If there is need to extend the power cable, use a
cable with the same diameter as the one installed by the manu-
facturer.
In the three-phase connection line, at the installation time, check the motor fan
rotation. That must be the same as the one indicated by the arrow

4.2.3 Vacuum sensor calibration
After setting the packaged products with the down arrow, the display shows:
The vacuum sensor calibration will start as soon as the hood is closed.
This process serves to align the sensor with the pressure at the place of
installation. The hood opens when the calibration cycle has finished.
It is advisable to repeat the procedure if there is a power failure or the calibration
cycles is interrupted.
NOTE: The machine has a very accurate “relative pressure” sensor, allowing it to
manage the optimal operating time automatically without the need for trials or man-
ual settings.
The relative pressure is the difference between the local atmospheric pressure and
the desired final vacuum pressure (which can be selected from 1, 5, or 10 Mb).
The relative pressure depends on the atmospheric pressure at the place where the
machine is installed, and may differ from that where the machine was manufactured
and tested (20 m a.s.l. with an average pressure of 1020 Mb).
The pressure decreases significantly with an increase in altitude and the sensor may
have difficulty in making measurements, which will affect the percentage vacuum
shown on the display. The machine operation does not change, the pump is not af-
fected in any way, and the actual pressure in the chamber will be the same or lower
than that obtained in the manufacturing site for the same operating time.
However, it does create the following problem: even when the chamber has reached
the requested vacuum, the display continues to show a lower vacuum level, and so
the pump will continue to operate continuously.
A sensor calibration program has been provided to realign the sensor with the new
pressure condition in the place of installation due to the different altitude and pres-
sure from those at the manufacturing site.
4.2.4 Oil heating
Once the sensor calibration cycle has finished, the machine automatically pro-
ceeds to the oil heating process.
The text “Close black cap and press ON button”
scrolls on the second line of the display. Follow
the instructions.
The machine will start the oil heating process to bring it to the preset
temperature of
about 60 – 65 °C.
Once the oil heating process has finished, the machine is in the best
operating conditions.
After a few seconds, the display shows
