Vacuum packing machine with scale - At the beginning of vacuum packaging in any container, press lightly on the lid or tube adapter for a few seconds in order to allow proper air extraction air and avoid any air leakage through the space between the lid and the edge top of the container. - To check the vacuum, simply pull the lid upwards. It should not move. - Do not press any key during the marinating cycle to avoid interfering in the process. To prevent air from re-entering the container, we recommend you rst remove the connection from the container lid and then the other connection of the vacuum pipe from the appliance To heat food contained in vacuum containers in the microwave oven, rst release the vacuum then remove the lid before inserting it into the microwave to avoid risks.

The sponge seal gaskets (20) around the vacuum chamber can be removed and washed. Dry them well before repositioning them. Avoid damaging them, otherwise replace them. Store the appliance in a stable and level place, out of reach of children. VACUUM BAGS

1. Wash the bags in lukewarm water with a mild dish soap. Rinse and dry well.

2. When washing the bags in the dishwasher, turn them “inside-out” and place them

along the upper basket so as to expose the entire surface to washing.

3. Dry thoroughly before reusing.

To avoid the possible transmission of germs, do not reuse the bags after packing raw meat, raw sh or fatty foods. Do not reuse the bags that have been heated in a microwave oven or immersed in boiling water. SCALE CALIBRATION If the weight read by the scale is incorrect, you can recalibrate the scale.
