• Attention! Do not handle the electric wire for any reason.
For any damage, please consult your retailer.
• The shell of this device is not protected against the penetration of liquids.
• Under extreme conditions of use (voltage being 10% more than the rated voltage and temperature
around 40°C), the intensive use of the device may require the triggering of automatic devices
for thermal protection. In this case, await until the device cools down, before using it again.

VACUUM PACKAGING MACHINE

Do not perform any vacuum packaging cycle for more than 10 times consecutively;
besides this limit, the automatic systems for the thermal protection of the device
may trigger. In this case, await about 30 minutes for the restoration of these
protection systems (We suggest to await at least 15 seconds between one sealing
and the following one).
• Use only original bags of the manufacturer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
After hooking the cover and before pressing the keys for the sealing and/or vacuum
process, it is necessary to press with a hand slightly on the cover and then with the
other hand to select the wished function. The device starts the operation cycle. After
some seconds, remove the hand from the cover.
USE OF THE BAGS
1) Before each use, clean carefully the device following the instructions given in paragraph "Cleaning
and maintenance".
2) Place the device on a flat and stiff surface and leave the working area in front of the device free of
hindrances, as well as enough space to allow the leaning of the bags with the food to be packaged.
3) Connect the device to an outlet meeting the rating plate data indicated on the bottom of the device.
4) Insert homogeneously the food to be preserved in the bag. Verify that the length of the bag is 8
16
Instructions and warranty
cm greater than that of the food to be preserved.
5) Lift the cover.
6) Place the open end of the bag within the suction chamber as shown in figure 2 with the smooth
part downward. Make sure that the inner part of the bag where the sealing will be performed is
clean and free of any food particle. The bag must be well stretched and without folds.
7) Firmly press with both hands on the two sides of the cover, hooking the two locking levers at
the bottom of the device (until you hear a "click").
8) Now, the cover is closed. With a hand press on the cover and with the other one press first of
all the "AUTOMATICO" key to start the operation cycle and then keep the cover pressed down.
After 3-4 seconds, remove both hands from the cover.
The warning light is red: sequentially and automatically air suction starts; when the device
has reached the maximum vacuum level, the suctions stops and the sealing starts Wait for
few seconds and when the warning light of the "SALDA" key switches off, press the two cover
opening push-buttons.
9) Verify the sealing of the bag and place it in the fridge, freezer or sideboard.
USE OF THE ROLLS
The roll allows to prepare bags in the length desired, suitable for the food to be preserved.
1) Establish the length of the bag, considering the length of the food to be preserved and adding
at least 8 cm; add further 2 cm for each time that the bag is reused.
2) Unwind the roll and using the sharpen scissors with long blades cut it in the wished measure.
3) Place one of the two open ends of the bag on the sealing gasket with the smooth part downward.
Caution! Do not let the bag stick out into the suction chamber or on the seal.
Make sure that the bag is well stretched, clean and without folds.
4) Firmly press with both hands on the two sides of the cover, hooking the two locking levers at
the bottom of the device (until you hear a "click").
5) Now, the cover is closed. With a hand press on the cover and with the other one press first of all
the "SALDA" key to start sealing automatically (the warning light is red).
After 3-4 seconds, remove both hands from the cover. when the warning light of the "SALDA"
key switches off, press the two cover opening push-buttons.
6) Verify the bag sealing.
7) Proceed as described under points 4-9 of paragraph "INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE - USE OF THE
BAGS".
MANUAL VACUUM PACKAGING
Press the "AUTOMATICO" key. Its warning light switches on in red color, this means that air suction
has started. Carefully observe the suction of the air from the bag and when it is deemed suitable,
stop the vacuum process by pressing the "STOP" key.
Press the "SALDA" key to start sealing automatically (the warning light is red). When the warning
light of the "SALDA" key switches off, press the two cover opening push-buttons.

VACUUM PACKAGING FOR LIQUIDS
To vacuum package the liquids, it is necessary to pre-freeze them. Place the liquid food in a suitable
container and then put it into the freezer for about 12-18 hours, then remove it from the container
and insert it into a bag for vacuum packaging.
Remove the air and seal the bag as described in the paragraph "instructions for use"; then place
the bag in freezer. These foodstuffs can be defrosted by dipping them into boiling water or using
the microwave oven. To preserve liquids in vacuum packages, it is possible to use either the bags
or the suitable containers for vacuum packaging.
SEAL OR BAG-CLOSING FUNCTION
This device can have the function of bag closing, without necessarily creating the vacuum.
It is sufficient to place the end of the bag that one wishes to close, perfectly clean and well stretched,
on the sealing gasket. Caution! Do not let the bag stick out into the suction chamber or on the seal.
Firmly press with both hands on the two sides of the cover, hooking the two locking levers at the
bottom of the device (until you hear a "click"). Now, the cover is closed. With a hand press on the
cover and with the other one press first of all the "SALDA" key to start sealing automatically (the
warning light is red). After 3-4 seconds, remove both hands from the cover. when the warning light
of the "SALDA" key switches off, press the two cover opening push-buttons. Verify the bag sealing.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Carefully wash your hands before performing the cleaning of the device.
N.B.: before performing the cleaning procedures, make sure that the plug has been
disconnected from the power supply outlet.
Before and after the use, clean the device with a dry or lightly wet cloth paying attention not to
let liquids penetrate within the device. It is important to remove any nylon residuals (bag) from
the sealing strip using a soft cloth, after each use, paying attention not to damage it. Clean the
sealing strip only when it has cooled down.
This unit contains precision components. Therefore, avoid to let the device undergo extreme
temperature variations, humidity, bumps, dust and direct sunlight. Do not let the unit fall or being
hit. For the cleaning, never use chemical or abrasive products.
