with an "H". For example, if the pump motor has been running for 20991 hours, the display will show:"2 - 0 - 9 - 9 - 9 - 1 - H", on a loop. Figure 2. Display of vacuum pump operating hours By pressing the push-button while the number of pump operating hours is displayed, the vacuum packer will go on to show the number of complete vacuum cycles it has completed.
In some foods, it may be interesting or advisable to use antioxidant gas to improve the food preservation or also mixtures of gas to avoid crushing the packaged product. This option is available with all Mychef iSensor vacuum packers. The following is a description of the precautions to be taken into account when carrying out vacuum packaging in a protective atmosphere: •...
Figure 4. Automatic mode Mychef patented iVAC control algorithm automatically detects and completes the vacuum process depending on the type of food and its conditions. It is particularly suitable for the packaging of porous foods and liquids as it prevents them from boiling and overflowing out of the bag.

"VACUUM" icon will start flashing (later all the parameters and their relation with the LCD screen icons are presented). Then by rotating the encoder, you can modify the parameter value and pressing it again saves it and jumps to the next value to be set. This process will be repeated until all parameters are modified and saved, returning to the manual mode starting point.
iSeal algorithm that will regulate this time automatically. The icon that identifies it is the "SEALING" icon. Atmospheric pressure recovery mode: This parameter allows the selection of 3 types of air inlet: 1. FAST: The atmospheric pressure recovery in FAST mode allows the air to be blown in by opening the inlet valve until the atmospheric pressure inside the chamber recovers.
electricity grid, or it is turned on from the “OFF” rest mode. If the lid is lowered during this time, the “AUTOCLEAN OIL” process will begin automatically. ➔ If you do not wish to perform the AUTOCLEAN process when the notification appears, you can rotate the encoder to any direction (right and left) to go through the menu as normal and perform the cycle you prefer.
time or atmospheric pressure is being recovered. Each time a repetition is made, the digit below the "REPEAT" icon will decrease its value until it is passed to the last packaging cycle. All processes except pressure recovery in the vacuum chamber can be cancelled by pressing the encoder button while running.
