1 Delivery and warranty 1.1 - Foreword ATTENTION! The symbols used in this manual intend to call the reader’s attention to points and operations that put the operator’s personal safety at risk or which can cause damage to the machine itself. Do not operate with the machine if you are not certain to have correctly understood that highlighted in these notes. ATTENTION! Some illustrations in this manual represent the machine or parts of the same with panels or guards removed.
1.3 - Warranty The Manufacturer is committed for 12 (twelve) months, from the date of shipping and direct delivery of the goods, to guaranteeing the customer or authorised dealer the integrity and good operation of the components relative to the machinery in question. The warranty excludes all parts of the machinery subject to normal wear, i.e components in which use generates unstoppable constant wear: A.
The Manufacturer is not deemed liable for the consequences caused by the user’s failure to comply with the safety precautions given in this manual. 1.5 - Description of the machine The vacuum packaging machine with dome is controlled electrically and therefore not subject to wear.
avoid the use of repaired fuses and the creation of short circuits between the terminals on the fuse holders; 8 the packaging machine power supply cable must never be replaced by the user; contact the machine manufacturer exclusively in the event of damage to the cable, or for its replacement; 9 keep the cable away from hot parts; 10 always switch the machine off and disconnect it from the mains electricity before starting any global clearing procedure or washing operation; 11 clean the machine coverings,

3 Inspection, transport, delivery and installation 3.1 - Inspection The machine you own has been inspected at our establishment in order to certify correct operation and adjustment. 3.2 - Delivery and handling the machine All material delivered has been accurately controlled before consignment to the carrier. Unless agreed differently with the Customer or for particularly onerous transport, the machine is wrapped in nylon and cardboard. The packaging dimensions are given in fig. 3.2.
Before carrying out any check that leads to the removal of some items, the plug must be removed from the mains electricity. 3.3.1 - Disposal of the packaging The packaging materials such as cardboard, nylon and wood are products similar to solid urban waste. They can therefore be disposed of freely. Nylon is a pollutant, which produces toxic fumes if burned. Do not burn and disperse in the environment, but dispose according to the Laws in force.
3.5 - Electrical system hook-up ATTENTION! - Connect the 16 ampere plug supplied by the manufacturer to the power cable. Make sure that its voltage matches the value displayed on the machine’s rating Plate. All work on the electrical system of the machine must be carried out by specialized staff duly authorized for its performance by the manager in charge. Hook the machine to a power grid that has an efficient earthing connection. 3.5.

Storing programs.
4.1.2 Automatic vacuum adjustment Hold key 1 (fig. 4.1.1) down for at least 5 seconds. The wording “language” appears on the display. Press key 5 (fig. 4.1.1) and select “Setting PROG. A”. Use keys 3 and 4 (fig. 4.1.1) to select the final pressure you want to reach in the bell. 1 mb (hard vacuum) 5 mb (standard vacuum) 10 mb (soft fast vacuum) Confirm by pressing 1 (fig. 4.1.1). 4.1.3 Activation of the thermal printer Press the button 2 (fig 4.1.1.) for 3 seconds to activate the thermal printer.
4.1.7 Pressure sensor calibration (must be done at first use of the machine) for vacuum full versions with pressure sensor Reasons and procedures Firmware rel. W8VD1A V4.4 and subsequent versions This machine is equipped with a very precise “relative pressure” sensor that allows you to automatically manage optimal operation time without having to carry out checks or manual settings.
4.2 - Using the packaging machine 4.2.1 Vacuum packaging 1. Connect the machine to the mains power supply 2. Unscrew the black knob on the right side of the machine until the dome is released and work can be started. 3. Supply power to the machine on using the switch on the right side. “OFF _____” will appear on the display. 4. Switch the board by pressing the key ref. 1 fig. 4.1.1 5. Set the suction time, the sealing time and the gas injection time (if the packaging machine is fitted with this system). 6.
SURPLUS BAG SEALING BAR Fig. 4.2.1 4.2.4 Packaging with introduction of inert gases. (Optional) ATTENTION, ONLY USE GAS WITH MAXIMUM 20% OXYGEN. MIXES WITH A HIGH OXYGEN PERCENTAGE ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IF USED WITH THIS MACHINE Connect the pipe coming from the fitting cylinder ref. 12 fig. 2.1.1 positioned on the right side of the machine and adjust the manometer positioned on the cylinder to a pressure value equal to 0.4 - 0.5 Bar. 1. Start the gas cycle by pressing key 2. 2.
The main food gas suppliers are: SIAD PERGINE SIO LINDE GAS SAPIO SOL RIVOIRA Addresses can normally found in the telephone directory under the GAS heading. The following table shows some product types with relative pre-determined mixture. "We recommend the use of a gas pressure adjustment manometer with scale from 0 to 6 Bar to guarantee gas inlet pressure into the machine of 0.4 - 0.5 Bar, as it is much more accurate than a manometer with scale from 0 to 30 Bar.
4.3 - Packaging liquids or semi-liquids With the dome vacuum packing machines we produce, it is possible to vacuum pack liquids and semi-liquids (soups, juices, sauces, etc…) lengthening their duration and maintaining flavour and hygiene unaltered. In these cases, remember that the bags must never be filled up to maximum limit, but up to 50% of the capacity, making sure that the edge is at a higher level with respect to the sealing bar. 1.
5. Remove the suction cap (ref. 3 fig. 4.3.4). 6. Attach the suction kit pipe (ref. 4 fig. 4.3.5) 7. Attach the suction kit dome nut to the tray lid valve (ref. 5 fig. 4.3.5) 8. Use buttons ref. 3 and 4 fig. 4.1.1 to select the percentage vacuum desired inside the tray. (the choice is from 50% to 100%) 9. Press the key ref. 1 fig. 4.1.1 to start the vacuum cycle. 10. Once the vacuum percentage equal to 100% has been reached, the machine stops automatically. 4 4.3.

4.5 - Cleaning the machine ATTENTION! Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity before cleaning. Do not clean the machine using a jet of water. Use non-toxic detergents only, expressly intended for clearing components coming into contact with foodstuffs. DO NOT use chlorine-based detergents. DO NOT use ethyl alcohol to clean the Plexiglas dome. The Plexiglas must be cleaned regularly with a soft, damp cloth, using cold or warm water, with a small amount of neutral detergent.
4B Use of the Mod. Easy Machine 4B.1 - Mod Easy Control Panel Legend 4 3 2 1 Fig. 4B.1.1 1. ON-OFF - Turning the machine on and off: briefly pressthe ON button pressthe OFF button for 3 sec. - Interruption of work phase: During the work phases, if pressed, it stops the processing and passes to the next one.
4B.1.1 Chamber Vacuum Packing Cycle 1 - Press the general switch (right side of machine) Ref. 8 Fig. 4B.1.2 in the ON position. The display lights up and the word OFF appears 2 - Press the 1 button and put the machine in an ON mode. The machine is ready for the chambervacuum packing cycle. Check that the timing of vacuum packing and sealingtimes are optimal (the machine is sold with preset vacuum packing and sealing values). 3 - Place the bag inside the chamber and close the chamber to start a work cycle.
5 Controls and maintenance 5.1 - Controls and maintenance Access to the internal part of the machine is reserved exclusively to our specialised technician. If the machine is accessed voluntarily, the manufacturer declines all civil and penal liability regarding any accidents or damage caused to persons or objects. All electric components are protected within the machine body and the relative guard must be removed in order to gain access.
6 Obligations in the event of malfunctioning and/or potential dangers The operators must inform their direct seniors of any deficiency and/or potential dangerous situation that should occur. 6.1 - User obligations The user must inform the manufacturer immediately if any defects and/or malfunctioning of the accident-prevention system are detected, as well as any presumed dangerous situation of which he becomes aware.
7.2 Putting the machine out of service If for some reason, you decide to put the machine out of service, make sure nobody can use it: disconnect it from the mains and eliminate the electrical connections.
