the status in the progress bar. To obtain good
sealing, the bag must be free of creases.

HOW TO OPEN THE VACUUM-PACKED
BAGS:
- Use the bag cutter.
- Cut the edges of the bag with scissors, just at
height of the seal.
- Do not fill the bag to the limit; always leave a
space of at least 7 cm.
- To obtain a good seal, the top of the bag must
be clean and free of creases.
- Do not wet the open end of the bag.
- Do not leave too much air in the bag. Press on
the bag so that the excess of air can escape
before vacuum packing.
- Do not vacuum pack sharply pointed objects as
they can puncture and tear the bag.
- We recommended vacuum packing and sealing
only one bag per minute to allow the appliance
to recover sufficiently.

THE FUNCTION:
- Make sure the electrical cord is properly
plugged into the mains.
- Check the cord and the mains socket and make
sure these are not damaged in any way.
- If you find any damage do not use the packing
machine.
THE AIR HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETELY
EXPELLED FROM THE BAG:
- For correct packing the end of the bag must
remain inside the vacuum chamber.
- Check for possible dirt on the sealing band
or in the vacuum chamber. If there is any
dirt, clean them and reposition them in their
locations.
- The bag may be punctured. To check this, seal
the bag with a little air inside, submerge it in
water and apply pressure. If bubbles form, this
means that there is a leak. Use another bag.
- Check that the cover is completely closed.
THE BAGS OF THE PACKING MACHINE
