IMPORTANT
Always use bags proportionate with the product to be vacuum packed, otherwise (e.g.: if a very large bag is used for
only a little product), the device will take longer to complete the cycle.
Therefore, after you have finished the sample bags provided with the machine, select the most suitable bag size for
your packing needs from the attached list and order the bags from the BESSER VACUUM retailers.
Set the temperature according to the thickness and the characteristics of the bag.
For 105 micron thick bags (e.g. those provided with the device) it is advisable to set the sealing on the 2
setting the temperature of the sealing bar, it is advisable to run a few sealing tests to check the result before packing
the food.
IMPORTANT
Repeated sealing operations carried out at too high a temperature will damage the machine beyond repair. Do not use
sealing temperatures above 2 if not strictly necessary and in any case use only over 105 micron thick bags.
VACUUM SENSOR SETTING
This machine is provided with a sensor for the vacuum setting. The machine has already been set, but special
conditions of use could require a change. Proceed in the setting of the sensor only if you really need to, after having
verified that the machine does not end the automatic cycle.
In order to execute the setting, insert the equipped spanner ( or use a spanner model TORX 27) in the hole placed on
the back of the machine. While the machine is working, turn the key moderately and slowly towards the symbol + to
postpone the bag sealing or towards the symbol - to advance it (see below).
It is advisable to run a few sealing tests to make sure that the machine creates an optimum vacuum inside the bag
without sealing it too early.
We don t recommend you to do this operation if you don t really need to, because the machine is provided with the
perfect setting.
CORRECT BAG SEALING
The following suggestions are useful to prevent incorrect packing, which could compromise food preservation.
The bag content should never get between the sealing bar (3) to guarantee a proper sealing.
·
The sealing temperature should be chosen according to the thickness of the bag to ensure a correct sealing.
·
The bag will not be sealed completely if the temperature is too low.
·
The seam could be torn and tightness could be compromised if the temperature is too high; in the event of
·
repeated sealing operations under these conditions the machine might be seriously compromised.
IMPORTANT
After a while, there might be an air re-entry into the vacuum-packed bag. Causes may be:
1. The bag had not been perfectly sealed (the sealing temperature was not suitable for the bag used).
2. Food residues got between the sealing bar.
3. Sharp or pointed parts (bones, fish bones, hard cheese rinds, etc.) may have pierced the bag (possibly not visible to
the naked eye).
As mentioned above, before carrying out any cleaning work, it is necessary to switch off the machine and unplug it at
the end of each process.
Use a damp cloth followed by a dry cloth to clean the machine structure (A).
·
Use a dry cloth only to clean the control panel (B).
·
If there are plastic material residues on the sealing bar (D) use a damp cloth, warm water or a window detergent
·
to clean the Teflon-coating.
Never use acid, caustic or abrasive products for cleaning.
