out of the reach of children as they are a potential source of danger.
• Scrap the appliance following local Standards regarding disposal of waste
and take it to appropriate collection points. Do not leave it unguarded even
for just a few days as it is a source of danger to children.
Technical safety
• Installation work and extraordinary maintenance or repairs performed below
standard can cause serious hazards for the user. Ensure this type of interven-
tion is only performed by qualied personnel authorised by the manufacturer.
• Pay particular attention to the general conditions of the lid (presence of
cracks, chips, scratches and deep marks). Possible damage could cause
an implosion with serious danger to the user. Never use the appliance if the
lid is damaged.
• An oil vacuum pump is installed in the appliance. Never tilt or overturn the
device to prevent the oil overowing.
• Correct operation of the appliance is only guaranteed if it is connected to
legally compliant electrical systems with absolute correspondence (voltage,
frequency) with the data shown on the appliance data plate. In case of un-
certainty arrange for the system to checked by a qualied electrician.
• Electrical safety is only guaranteed if the device is connected to a compliant
earthing system. Make sure that this fundamental safety condition is conrmed. In case of uncertainty arrange for the system to checked by a qualied
electrician.
• Multiple sockets or extension cords do not guarantee the required level of
safety (re hazard). Therefore do not connect the appliance using these
types of devices.
• Touching or altering electrical or mechanical components can result in injury
and equipment failure. Never open the appliance casing.
• If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised

• When removing the plug or if the cord is not provided with a plug, make sure
the appliance is connected to the electrical mains by a qualied electrician.
• If anomalies are noticed of the appliance (e.g. the electric power supply cable
is damaged of the control panel does not work) do not use the machine and
inform your authorised support centre immediately.
• Do not use the appliance with wet hands or where there is any contact with
water.
• The right to warranty is invalidated if the tray is not repaired by an authorised
support centre.
• Only replace any broken or defective parts with original spare parts supplied
by your dealer.
• In the event of a power outage during the vacuuming process, the vacuum
state is maintained in the chamber and the lid cannot be opened. Never attempt to open the lid by force or with the use of tools. Once electrical power
is restored it will again be possible to open the lid.
• To perform work of extraordinary maintenance, installation and repair, disconnect the appliance from the electrical mains and remove the plug from the
electrical socket. If the plug is not accessible, turn off the electrical system to
which the appliance is connected via the corresponding main switch. Before
performing any works of repair or installation, make sure that the appliance
is effectively disconnected from the mains.
• On scrapping, cut the power supply cable and make the appliance unusable
by removing the lid, in a way that children cannot close themselves inside
the appliance.
Correct use
• Scalding hazard! After the bag sealing process, the sealing bar and the sealing area of the bag itself are very hot. Do not touch the sealing bar or the
sealing line immediately after the sealing process.
• Fire hazard! Do not store materials or substances that are easily ammable
in the immediate vicinity of the tray.
• The slides have a maximum capacity of 30kg. Do not overload or lean on
the open tray as this could damage the slides.

Safety precautions and warnings
VM615
Built-in vacuum drawer
• Any damage to the lid could cause an implosion. Do not place any objects
on the lid and avoid striking its surface with any object. In case of accidental
impact with the lid, carefully inspect it for damage. If in doubt, contact the
authorised technical support centre.
• Do not use the appliance or lid as a work surface, for support or for cutting.
• Install the tray in such a way that it is possible to completely extract the tray
and to ensure the lid can be fully opened. Only in this way is it possible to
supervise the vacuum chamber at each phase and to avoid entering into
contact with the sealing bar and the sealing line when these are still hot.
• Always pack foods when they are sufciently cold; products cooled to 3°C
provide the best preservation results. Furthermore, the formation of vapours
is avoided which may cause problems with functioning of the tray. Monitor
the vacuum process carefully and where the formation of bubbles in the
liquid is noticed, prevent leakage prior to sealing.
• If liquids reach the pump suction, the latter can become damaged.
• Before using containers or vessels of any type, make sure that they are
sufciently robust to withstand the degree of vacuum including when placed
in a refrigerator, thereby preventing an implosion that could be dangerous
to the user.
• Never close the tray during operation as this would prevent ventilation of the
appliance. Only close the tray at the end of its use.
Cleaning and maintenance
• To clean the appliance only use damp cloths and non aggressive disinfectants
and detergents. Do not use abrasive sponges or cloths to avoid damaging
the stainless steel surfaces and the cover surfaces.
• Water or steam could reach live parts and cause a short circuit. Never use
running water or steam cleaning equipment.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

Drying cycle
VM615
Built-in vacuum drawer
Pump oil drying cycle
The heart of the machine is the vacuum pump.
Sometimes products are packaged at inappropriate temperatures, i.e. at much more than 3°C, which
can cause signicant levels of humidity to be sucked in together with the air. Humidity in water vapour form accumulates inside the pump and turns into water once the pump has cooled. Especially
during prolonged periods of inactivity, the water oxidises the internal surfaces of the pump and forms
residues that can in some cases cause the rotor or blades to jam.
The vacuum drawer indicates:
a) When packaging products that are too liquid or warm via an indicator light coming .
b) When performance is affected due to the frequent packaging of too liquid or warm products to the
point where a good vacuum level cannot be guaranteed. In this case, the indicator light
comes on, at which point a dehumidifying cycle of the pump oil is required.
WARNING: If further dehumidifying cycles are indicated as being necessary, the machine enters an obligatory cooling cycle for one hour.
Follow the following simple instructions carefully in order to prolong the machine’s life and guarantee
optimum packaging cycles every time.
1) Always package products when they are cold, if possible between 3-4°C. The warmer the product
is, the shorter its conservation life (due to bacteria formation) and the greater the condensation
levels inside the pump.
2) Carefully follow indications on liquid product levels when packaged in bags or containers.
The warnings and their meanings are detailed in the “Troubleshooting” chapter below.
