Operation
User manual Compact Eco-range 7
2.1 Warm up
If the machine has been switched off for a period of time we recommend that the machine is “warmed
up”. The machine vacuums a certain time, aerates a short time and then starts vacuuming again.
These cycles will be repeated for certain times.
1. Turn on the machine with the Off/On switch (G) and press button (E). The display shows a
‘rolling’ or ‘spinning’ zero.
2. Close the lid. The machine now starts to vacuum and the display shows the number of cycles to
go.
3. After the last cycle the machine aerates totally, the lid opens and returns to the stand-by mode.
4. The machine is ready to use.
2.2 Vacuuming and Sealing
The vacuum chamber contains filler plates. When the vacuum pouches are filled, a number of the filler
plates must be removed so that the vacuum pouch lies directly on the sealing bar. The vacuum
pouches should never stick out of the machine!!
2.2.1 Vacuuming
Depending on the desired vacuum, the vacuum time can be set by pressing buttons (B).
With OPEN lid, press the + to increase or – to decrease the vacuum time. The range is between 0 and
99 seconds and adjustable per 1 second.
Only when vacuuming, the attained vacuum can be seen on the vacuum gauge (A). It is important that
the vacuum time for products with enclosed air is extended.
2.2.2 Sealing
Depending on the desired seal, the seal time can be set by pressing buttons (C).
With OPEN lid, press the + to increase or – to decrease the seal time. The range is between 0 and 6
seconds, and adjustable per 0.1 second.
If the sealing time is too long (scorching the bag), set to a lower value; if the sealing time is too short
(the sealed product easily opens), set to a higher value.
2.3 Packing
1. Turn on the machine with the Off/On switch (G).
2. The display shows ‘on’, to indicate that the machine is ready to use.
3. Put the vacuum bag with your product in it in the vacuum chamber.
4. Be sure that the open side of the bag lays smoothly over the seal bar but not OUTER the
chamber. The bag must be inside the chamber.
5. Close the lid. The machine now starts to run and the display shows the vacuum time to go.
6. After the reached vacuum time the machine begins to seal. The display shows the seal time to
go.
7. After sealing, the machine aerates automatically and the lid opens.
8. Check the quality of the package and adjust the vacuum or seal time if necessary before
continuing.
