The vacuum machines are solid and safe. For your own safety and optimal maintenance of the
machine, the following instructions must be obeyed.
•
Make sure the machine is level and has been placed on a solid surface.
•
To ensure easy access for maintenance and sufficient ventilation, the machine must not be closed
in and is easily accessed from all sides.
•
Before connecting the machine to the mains make sure that the voltage stated on the specifications
plate is the same as that of the mains supply and that the connection is properly earthen.
•
The standard machine must be connected to 230 Volt - 1 phase - 50 Hertz (depending on the
country).
•
Check the oil level.
•
The temperature in the workspace should not be lower than 10°C (or 50º F), as the oil in the
vacuum pump will thicken and prevent the smooth operation of the pump.
•
Always remove the power plug from the socket during repair and maintenance work!!!
•
Never clean the machine with a high-pressure cleaner. Water jets may penetrate and damage the
electronics.
•
The machine must be switched of immediately in case of a damage in the gas springs. Contact
your dealer as soon as possible!!
•
Always have a recognised HFE-dealer carry out maintenance and repairs.
•
Don’t just start vacuuming sauces or other liquid products. When vacuuming sauces or soups, the
pressure in the vacuum chamber must be carefully monitored, because the boiling point of liquids
is lower as the vacuum percentage goes up. As soon as the boiling point has been reached, you
can see the gas bubbles in the product.
