4.  Place the bag in the chamber. 

 

 

•  If the product is small, use the included insert plates to reduce 

empty space in the chamber. This will reduce the cycle time. 

•  Position the bag so the open end is placed over the sealing bar. 
•  The bag should NOT extend outside the chamber. 
•  The vacuum bag must be placed over the sealing bar without any 

folds.

5.  Multiple vacuum bags can be placed over the sealing bar if the sealing 

bar is longer than the opening of the vacuum bags. Do NOT overlap 

vacuum bags.

Special care must be taken when packing liquids.
1.  Cool foods before packing. Hot food quickly reaches the boiling point, 

which can lead to an insufficient seal.

NOTICE: Hot products create condensation which can damage the 

pump.

2.  Watch the vacuum process through the clear lid.

3.  Press the 

vac

stop

 button as soon as bubbles appear in the product. 

This will stop the vacuum and start the seal step.

NOTICE: Do not let products boil. Boiling will increase the amount 

of moisture that enters the pump, which can lead to 

corrosion.

4.  Run the Pump Conditioning Program at the end of the work day. See 

“Pump Conditioning program” on page 4.

warning

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Keep water and other liquids from entering the 

inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause 

an electrical shock.

Do not spray water or cleaning products. Liquid could contact the 

electrical components and cause a short circuit or an electrical 

shock.

NOTICE:   The machine must be moved in an upright position. Do NOT 

tilt the machine. Tilting could enable oil to flow out of the 

pump and cause damage to the machine.

NOTICE:  If the machine will be idle for more than one month, the oil 

should be drained from the pump. Moisture in the oil could 

corrode the pump.
