- 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 flammable 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.
FULGOR
- 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 sufficiently cold; products cooled to 3^ 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 sufficiently 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 when the appliance is completely cooled.

- It is recommended not to use aggressive detergents, stainless steel scrubbers, scrapers or abrasive, acid or aggressive substances, which could damage the stainless steel surface inside the vacuum chamber irreparably.


DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
The appliance is made up from an extractable machine body (1) that includes the vacuum chamber (4) and relative lid (3) for closure.
There is a sealing bar inside the vacuum chamber (5), whose function is to seal the bags hermetically.
The device can be turned on by plugging it into a suitable socket.

2) Control panel
3) Vacuum chamber lid in tempered glass
4) Vacuum chamber
5) Sealing bar


NOTIONS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE OPERATIONAL METHODS
The foodstuffs must be prepared previously inside the relative vacuum bags (for cooking or preservation) or inside the rigid containers for vacuum packing.
The bag or the container, is positioned inside the vacuum chamber, inside which the evacuation of the air takes place and, when vacuum pack bags are used, also the sealing of the same.
The vacuum generated can have four different levels:
VACUUM CYCLES FOR BAGS

Vacuum cycle for preservation.
The vacuum level is high, the air inside the bag is removed totally.

Cooking vacuum cycle.
The vacuum level is the high level. The air is removed around the food and from the heart of the product, in a way to obtain a uniform transmission of heat from the outside to the he
of the product in the successive cooking phase, inside a steam oven, of the foodstuff packed in the relevant cooking bag.
PA/PE are used in the preservation vacuum cycle or bags in OPA/PP are used for vacuum cooking cycles. Whenever the successive cooking of the food stuff is envisioned in a steam oven inside the packing, the use of bags in OPA/PP specific for cooking is indispensable.
Therefore, with OPA/PP bags the foodstuffs can be preserved and cooked, with PA/PE bags they can only be preserved.
VACUUM CYCLES IN CONTAINERS

BRIEF vacuum cycle in jars.
Used for vacuum packing containers in plastic, for household use.

LONG vacuum cycle in jars (activated by pressing for 5 seconds). Used for professional vacuum packing containers.
MAINTENANCE CYCLES

Automatic dehumidifying cycle of the pump oil (activated by pressing the key for 5 seconds).

It evacuates the watery vapour formed inside the pump while the device is used. The cycle lasts 20 minutes and must be carried out regularly.
NOTIONS REGARDING VACUUM PACKING BAGS
The bags used for vacuum preservation and/or cooking foodstuffs are characterised by an external nylon layer (barrier layer), which prevents the passage of oxygen from outside towards the inside of the bag, thus preserving the organoleptic properties of the packed food.
The bags suitable for the use described in this manual are:
- BAGS FOR PRESERVATION (in PA/PE).
They are smooth and opaque and normally have a thickness of 90 micron.
They are indicated for preserving foodstuffs and suitable for contact with the same, in compliance with the legislation in force.

They are not suitable for the vacuum cooking culinary technique.
BAGS FOR COOKING (in OPA/PP).
They are smooth and shiny and normally have a thickness of 75-85 micron.
They are indicated for vacuum cooking. With this technique, the maximum temperature reached is 100^ for some types of vegetables, while most foodstuffs are cooked at 60 - 65^ .
These bags are therefore suitable to resist temperatures up to 100^ .
The vacuum bags are indicated for packing products that cannot be easily crushed (meat, sliced meats, hard cheeses, legumes, etc...).
Perfect sealing is essential, which is highlighted via a well-marked seam without burns.

NOTIONS REGARDING THE VACUUM PACKING CONTAINERS
- Transparent plastic vacuum containers are usually found on the market. These are designed for domestic use not for professional vacuum levels (i.e. equal to about 80% of the absolute volume). The lids of these containers have a valve through which the air is evacuated.
- These accessories are useful for preserving products that can be easily crushed and for the preservation of liquids. They are not used in the vacuum cooking technique.
- To prevent the implosion or the excessive deformation of these containers due to the high level of vacuum that FVSD 2900 can reach, the appliance is equipped with a special functioning cycle, which automatically stops the evacuation of the air at a vacuum level such as guarantee good preservation, while maintaining the integrity of the container through time.
- If, however, you have rigid steel or glass containers available that can resist a high vacuum level as in the case of FVSD 2900, a longer cycle can be set, which takes the vacuum inside the container near to zero.
- Obviously the use of any type of containers depends on the maximum size of the vacuum chamber inside of which the same are to be placed.



NOTIONS REGARDING VACUUM PRESERVATION OF FOODS
Here are several fundamental rules to be respected for perfect results in the kitchen.
Do not use the system to preserve products that are already altered or impoverished from a nutritional point of view, lost quality cannot be recovered.
Foodstuffs that are kept too long at room temperature or that have just been prepared or cooked, loose humidity and initial quality (colour, perfume, taste, etc.) and are more subject to bacterial contamination.
It is therefore recommended to vacuum pack products that have been cooled in the fridge for a time sufficient to take them to 3^ .
This important solution also helps to preserve the pump from oxidation.
- If bags are used to vacuum pack raw or cooked foods, remember to distribute them uniformly in order to make it easier for the air to escape. Do not fill them excessively as the hermetic sealing could be jeopardised.
It is good practice to fill the bags up to 2/3 of their volume with the product to be packed. - It is preferable that vegetables and fruit are dried after washing, in order to prevent the stagnation of liquids, which could make them flaccid.
- To preserve meats for a reasonably long time, remember to cool them in the fridge for at least 2 hours in order to slow down bacterial proliferation. Before vacuum packing, dry them to obtain a good percentage of absence of air. If the meat is on the bone, e.g. spare ribs, pork chops or other, cover it with aluminium foil to prevent the bag being ripped.
- Regarding fish, it must first be washed well, eliminate the scales, remove the entails and gills, dry it and as for meat, cool it well before vacuum packing. Preserve it in the fridge at a temperature that does not exceed +3^ .
- For hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, Goat's milk cheese etc, do not have particular requirements, while soft cheeses must be wrapped in cellophane or preserved in the vacuum pack containers to prevent them being crushed.
- For cold pork meats and salads, if vacuum containers are used, no preparations are required. If they are to be packed in bags, dry them before carrying out the procedure.
- For sauces, proceed as follows: once prepared as usual, pack them in glass jars and then pasteurise them in a microwave for 12 minutes at maximum power. Place the container in water and ice to cool the sauce and then make the vacuum by pouring the product into the vacuum pack container.
INDICATIVE PRESERVATION TIMES
The preservation times listed are purely indicative and depend on the initial quality of the product to be preserved, the temperature of preservation, cooling time in the case of cooked foods, the level of vacuum reached as well as the quality of the bag used for vacuum packing.
- Fresh salads: up to 12 days
- Fresh cheeses: up to 20 days
- Fresh fish: up to 7 days
- Fresh meat: up to 15 days
PREPARATION: USING VACUUM PACKING BAGS
1) After three minutes of inactivity, the machine enters the energy-saving state. To exit the energy-saving state, press any key.
2) Select the bag depending on the method of use (preservation or cooking), suitable for the dimensions of the product (the product must not occupy more than 2/3 of the useful volume of the bag).
3) Open the lid and make sure that the vacuum chamber is empty and the product to be packed is dry. When inserting the food into the bag, pay attention not to wet or make the inside of the bag dirty in proximity of the opening so as not to compromise efficient sealing.
4) Place the bag, centred on the sealing bar (A), in a way that the open edge projects by about 2 cm with respect to the bar itself (Fig. 1-2).
5) When packing liquid products, fill the bag only up to half of its volume.
6) Close the appliance lid.

PREPARATION: USING VACUUM PACKING CONTAINERS
The following can be used:
- Plastic vacuum packing containers (ATTENTION: for domestic use), with valve on lid (only on short tray cycle).
Professional stainless steel containers, with valve on lid. - Pans, container and trays in combination with special vacuum packing lids.

In all cases, liquid foodstuffs must only fill the containers up to 3/4 of their volume.
The corresponding jar cycle will be set on the basis of the type of container selected (brief for plastic vacuum packing containers sensitive to crushing, long for the rigid professional type). The lid valves, must be set-up in a way to allow the suction of the air inside the container.
1) Prepare a container or a vacuum pack lid (A) with valve open (B), in a way to allow the suction of air from the container.
2) Fill the container up to a maximum of 34 of its volume, if liquid foodstuffs are being processed.
3) Position the container inside the vacuum chamber (Fig. 1).
4) Close the appliance lid.

SIGNALS AND WARNINGS
PUMP OIL REPLACEMENT NECESSARY WARNING
FVSD 2900 has a high performance vacuum pump, oil recirculation lubricated with a special lubricant studied for this application.
With use of the machine, the oil undergoes deterioration due to suction of impurities and liquids. Consequently, so as not to compromise appliance performance, the oil must be changed every 2500 cycles, corresponding to about 150 hours of functioning.
FVSD 2900 indicates when the oil must be changed.

The oil must only be changed by an authorised dealer.
On machine switch-on, reaching the limit of 2500 cycles for the first time, all of the control panel luminous indicators will flash for 3 seconds and an acoustic signal can be heard (long beep).
This visual and acoustic signal informs that the pump oil must be replaced.

Any cycle can be activated in the presence of an alarm. The alarm is zeroed with the first oil replacement intervention.
INSUFFICIENT VACUUM SIGNAL
FVSD 2900 has a device that detects the level of vacuum reached inside the chamber and which is determinant for the correct functioning of the appliance. If a minimum vacuum level is not reached, the cycle is automatically interrupted after about one minute. The appliance indicates the anomaly
using the luminous indicator of the STOP key, which flashes for about 20 seconds, accompa
nied by an intermittent acoustic signal.
The signal re-enters on the activation of a new cycle. If the cause is not removed, the alarm situation described is repeated.
If an insufficient vacuum is signalled, before calling the Dealer or the authorised after-sales centre, check the correct closure of the lid and the correct insertion if the gasket in the seat.

If, after the controls suggested, the anomalous situation remains, call the Dealer or authorised after-sales, communicating the information on the plate data.

ATTENTION! Do not try to repair or modify any part of the appliance: as well as making the warrant null and void, it can be potentially dangerous. Entrust specialised technicians only.
TEMPORARY INTERRUPTION OF THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY
If a power cut occurs during a functioning cycle, on restore of the power supply, the vacuum chamber is decompressed and the machine goes back to initial switch-on conditions.
If the power supply is cut-off in Initial switch-on phase, once the power supply is restored the machine goes back to Initial switch-on.

ATTENTION: 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.
WARNING REGARDING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The information and instructions given in this chapter are destined for all staff operating on the machine: the user and the maintenance technician.
ELEMENTARY SAFETY STANDARDS
To carry out cleaning and routine maintenance operations in safety, follow the regulations given below:
- Disconnect the machine from the power supply mains without pulling the power supply cable.
- Do not touch the machine with bare, humid or wet hands or feet.
- Do not insert screwdrivers, kitchen instruments or other between the guards and moving parts.

It is prohibited to remove the guards and safety devices in order to carry out routine maintenance operations. The Manufacturer declines all liability for accidents caused due to the failure to comply with the above-mentioned obligation.

ATTENTION! Do not scrape the surfaces with pointed or abrasive objects!

ATTENTION! For any maintenance, handling, installation and cleaning operations on the appliance, always use relevant prevention and protection devices (gloves etc.).
CLEANING EXTERNAL SURFACES
BODY FRAME
- The stainless steel external surfaces of FVSD 2900 must be cleaned using a soft cloth or sponge with neutral detergent following the direction of the satin finish.
- It is recommended not to use stainless steel scrubbers, scrapers or abrasive, acid or aggressive substances, which could damage the surface irreparably.

ATTENTION! Do not remove the serial number plates during cleaning. These supply important information regarding the appliance for the technical after-sales service.
CONTROL PANEL
- The FVSD 2900 instrument panel has "Soft-touch" controls without any projecting buttons, for easy cleaning. Clean using products specific for glass surfaces.
It is recommend to use a soft cloth with a small amount of detergent and to dry thoroughly.
CLEANING VACUUM CHAMBER

ATTENTION! Remove the electric power supply before intervening for maintenance.
In order to guarantee hygiene and protect the quality of the food products packed, the inside of the vacuum chamber must be cleaned after every use.
- The chamber conformation allows quick cleaning.
The use of a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge and a neutral detergent or alcohol-based disinfectant is recommended.

CLEANING LID

ATTENTION! Remove the electric power supply before intervening for maintenance.
In the same way, it is recommended to clean lid after use.
- The use of a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge soaked in drinking water or specific products for cleaning glass is recommended.

CLEANING THE SEALING BAR

ATTENTION!
Remove the electric power supply before intervening for maintenance.
It is recommended to clean the sealing bar every month in a way to remove any residues that could cause deterioration of the bag sealing quality.
To make the operation easier, lift the sealing bar upwards (A), extracting it from the two pins (B).
- The use of a soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge and a neutral detergent or alcohol-based disinfectant is recommended.
- Finally, engage the bar on the two pins (B) centring the two holes on the lower part of the bar and check correct engagement.

ATTENTION!
Do not remove the black Teflon strip! Do not use scrapers or abrasive tools!



DEHUMIDIFYING CYCLE OF PUMP OIL
The core of the machine is the vacuum pump.
Carry out the following instructions to preserve the inside surfaces of the pump from oxidation, which blocks the rotor due to oxidized residue, which occurs when the watery vapour, sucked in together with air, condenses and remains inside the pump body for a long time:
1) Always pack the product while it is cold, possibly at 3 - 4^ . The hotter the product is, the less it lasts and the more condensation is formed inside the pump, thereby oxidizing and damaging it.
2) If the device is used only every now and then, before packing the products, carry out at least 2 or 3 complete "Vacuum in the vessels" long cycles with the vacuum chamber. This allows the temperature of the pump oil to be brought to a steady level and to evacuate the watery vapour.
3) We recommend carrying out the dehumidifying cycle of the pump oil regularly, pressing

key for 5 seconds.
PERIODS OF INACTIVITY
- If the appliance is to remain at a standstill for a long period of time, clean the inside and outside thoroughly and protect the external surfaces with specific oil-based products for stainless steel.

ATTENTION! Disconnect the plug until further use.

ATTENTION! Before new use, control the integrity of the appliance and clean FVSD 2900 thoroughly
- When re-starting, carry out an automatic dehumidifying cycle of the pump oil pressing the key for 5 seconds.
The cycle lasts 20 minutes. At the end, the machine will be in stand-by.
MALFUNCTIONING

ATTENTION! In the case of malfunctioning, before calling the Dealer to request after-sales assistance, check the perfect insertion of the power supply cable and make sure electric current is present.
- Moreover, check that the lid gasket is well inserted and that the sealing bar is correctly engaged on the two pins.
- If, after having carried out the controls suggested, FVSD 2900 still does not work, disconnect the appliance from the mains and call the Dealer or authorised after-sales centre, communicating the machine serial number.

ATTENTION! Do not try to repair or modify any part of the appliance: as well as making the warrant null and void, it can be potentially dangerous. Entrust specialised technicians only.
