cool products before packing.
When packing food, always select a program that includes
Liquid Sensor Control.

Edit Programs on See "Packing Liquid Products" on
page 5.

seconds between packing cycles.
Do NOT exceed a vacuum time of 60 seconds.
If the machine has been in use for one hour, stop the
machine and allow it to cool to ambient temperature.

Place the Product in the Chamber
CAUTION
Burn Hazard
Sealing bar may become hot after repeated use. Do not touch
the sealing bar when placing vacuum bags in the chamber.
1. Place the food product in a vacuum sealing bag that fits completely
within the chamber.
2. Place the bag in the chamber with the open end over the sealing bar.
Make sure the bag is smooth, without wrinkles or folds. Multiple
vacuum bags can be placed over the sealing bars. Do NOT overlap
vacuum bags.
3. For small products, place one or more insert plates under the
product. This fills empty space in the chamber, which reduces the
cycle time.

a packing cycle will interfere with the cycle. The cycle automatically
starts.
2. The lid opens when the cycle is complete.
3. Remove the packed product.
4. Wait 15 seconds before packing another product.
