The minimum clearance is 6 inches (15 cm) on all sides of the machine and 

30 inches (76.2 cm) inches above the machine.
Ambient temperature must be between 41-86 °F (5-30 °C). Never locate the 

machine near a heat source. This can damage the lid.
1.  Remove all packing material and tape, as well as any protective plastic 

from the equipment.

2.  Clean any glue residue left by the plastic or tape.
3. 

Place the vacuum pack machine on a flat, level surface.

4.  Check the oil gauge window at the back of the machine. Verify the oil 

level is between the minimum and maximum fill lines.

NOTICE: Running the machine without oil or insufficient oil will 

damage the machine and void the warranty.

5.  Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that matches the 

nameplate rated voltage.

NOTICE: Using a voltage other than the nameplate rated voltage will 

cause damage to the unit. Incorrect voltage, modification 

to the power cord or electrical components can damage 

the unit and will void the warranty. 

6.  Run the Pump Conditioning program. See “Pump Conditioning program” 

on page 4 in this manual.

chamber

Burn Hazard.

Sealing bar may become hot after repeated use.
