•The correct operation and safety of the system can only be guaranteed if the
recommended maintenance is performed on time and properly.
Safety 8
•If work must be carried out on the machine, it must be disconnected and blocked from
the power supply.
•Only a technical expert may perform work on the electrical installation.
•Internal procedures and monitoring must be in place to ensure that all relevant power
supplies are disconnected.
•The machine may not be used during cleaning, inspection, repair or maintenance and
must be disconnected from the power supply by disconnecting the plug.
•Never perform welding work on the machine without first disconnecting the cable
connection to the electrical components.
•Never use the power supply of the control unit to connect other machines.
•All electrical connections must be connected to the terminal strips according to the
wiring diagram.
2.4 Warnings During Use
•Before starting the machine, make sure no work is being performed on the installation
and that the machine is ready for use.
•The machine may not be operated by unauthorised persons. This should be monitored
by the machine operator(s).
•Immediately contact the service technician of your technical department or dealer if
something does not seem right, such as unusual vibrations or unusual noise.
•Components of the sealing system can become very hot. Contact with these
components may cause injuries.
•Improper use, such as switching off the machine while it is creating a vacuum, is
strongly discouraged. Such actions may cause oil leaking back to the vacuum chamber.
2.5 Warnings for Operating Personnel
•Operating personnel must be 18 years or older.
•Only authorised persons are allowed to perform work on or with the machine.
•Personnel may only perform work for which it was trained. This applies to both
maintenance and normal use.
•The machine may only be operated by trained personnel.
•Operating personnel must be familiar with all circumstances, so quick and effective
action can be taken in case of an emergency.
•If an operator notices errors or risks or disagrees with safety measures, he or she

4 Description of the Machine
This section provides an overview of the main components and functions. If detailed information is
available in this manual, you will be referred to the specific sections.
4.1 Overview of the Main Components
The figure below shows the main components of the system. The model shown may differ from
your machine.
Figure 1: Overview of the Main Components
1.Lid
The lid closes the vacuum chamber during the application of the vacuum. A rubber is mounted
in the lid to ensure proper closing. Silicone holders are mounted in the lid as counter beams of
the sealing bar(s).
2.Vacuum chamber
The products to be packaged are placed on the work surface with the openings of the vacuum
bags on the sealing position.
3.Seal system
Depending on the model, one or two sealing bars are mounted in the vacuum chamber. These
close the vacuum bag.
4.Control panel
This serves to operate the available control functions.
5.Machine housing
The machine housing contains all the components necessary for the functioning of the
machine.

6.Vacuum pump
The vacuum pump creates the vacuum.
7.Power connection and cable
This serves to connect the machine to the power supply.
8.Circuit breaker
The circuit breaker protects against overload or short circuit.
4.2 Description of the Packaging Process/Machine Functions
This section provides an overview of the packaging process and available machine functions.
See Changing the Programme Settings on page 22 for information about setting the
parameters to the correct values.
4.2.1 Packaging Process/Machine Functions
This section describes the packaging process and the machine functions. See Operation on page
20 for the realization of the specific steps of the procedure.
StepProcess phaseOperation
1.PreparationThe operator puts the product in a vacuum bag and places it
on the work surface with the opening on the sealing position.
2.Applying vacuum
3.Sealing
4.DecompressingThe vacuum is removed from the vacuum chamber by letting
The vacuum process is initiated by closing the lid.
During the cycle, the air will be removed from the chamber
until the set vacuum percentage or time has been reached.
The sealing bars are pressed against the vacuum bag and
melt the bag closed.
During the sealing process, the material of the vacuum bag
is heated and pressed together to create a hermetic seal.
The programming of this function takes place in seconds.
Optionally, the second sealing wire can be replaced by a
cut-off wire. The purpose of the cut-off wire is to remove the
excess foil from the remaining flap.

The lid opens.
The operator can remove the packaged product from the
work surface.

4.2.2 General Functions
FunctionPictogramOperation
Cleaning of the
oil pump
External
Vacuum
The pump cleaning programme ensures that the pump is
thoroughly rinsed. During the programme, the pump and
oil reach the operating temperature, so the oil and moisture
are separated and any contamination is filtered. The high
temperature causes any moisture in the pump to evaporate, thus
minimising the risk of corrosion.
This function allows special food containers to be vacuumed
outside the machine.
The options to set the vacuum value are the same as for
standard vacuuming (see External Vacuum (optional) on page
23).
4.3 Sealing System
The sealing system closes the opening(s) of the bag to retain the vacuum and/or gas in the bag.
The end of the bag can optionally be cut off by the sealing bar.
Figure 2: Overview of the Sealing System
1.Sealing bar
The sealing bar consists of the following components:
•Sealing wires: during the sealing process, the sealing wires are heated for a certain time
causing the edges of the vacuum bag to melt together.
•Cut-off wires (optional): A cut-off wire is heated in such a way that the foil of the bag
partially melts, allowing the excess foil of the vacuum bag to be removed easily.
•Teflon tape: sealing and cut-off wires are covered with Teflon tape to prevent the bag from
sticking to the sealing bar.
