Safety and Warranty

1. Before the operation, please read through the user guide about each operation’s rules and safety precautions.
2. You must fill the vacuum pump with pump oil before use (when the machine is placed at a horizontal position, the oil should keep at 1/3-1/2 of the oil window). When running, the oil level should not be lower than 1/3 of the oil window. Do not fill with too much oil to avoid overflow.
3. The machine should be placed horizontally in good ventilation and light without corrosive gas and heavy dust.
4. The power connection position may be located on a different side, be sure that there is proper grounding protection before use.
5. Always ensure top cover is open before turning the power on. Start the machine by pressing the top cover and the process start automatically. For 3-Phase units, please be sure the vacuum pump is running in the correct direction. If the direction is wrong, simply switch the phase of the power.
6. Preheat of vacuum pump must be done in a low-temperature working area. Turn off the heater selection switch at the control panel to off position. This is to prevent the heating process and cut down wear and tear losses.

Note: Do not block the air hole in the chamber.

2. Press the setting button, the indicator lamp of vacuum lights to enter into the setting state of vacuum timing. Press the upward or downward key to increase or decrease vacuum time in the range of 0-99 seconds.
3. Press the setting button, and sealing indicator lamp lights to enter the sealing setting state. Press the upward or downward key to increase or decrease sealing time in the range of 0-3.5 seconds.
4. Press the setting button, and cooling indicator lamp lights to enter the cooling setting state. Press the upward or downward key to increase or decrease cooling time in the range of 0-9.9 seconds.
5. After the cooling time is set, press the setting button to finish the parameter setting and “ED” is shown on the panel.
6. Press the sealing temperature button, and temperature indicator lamp lights to enter the temperature setting state. You may choose between high temperature, middle temperature and low temperature.

Operation

1. Turn on the power supply and select a suitable vacuum packaging bag for the product.
