Page 35: Replacing The Lid Gasket
Replacing the Lid Gasket The lid gasket ensures the vacuum chamber is fully closed during the machine cycle. This is essential to reach the maximum vacuum level. Due to extreme pressure differences, the gasket wears and should therefore be replaced regularly. Replace the lid gasket if damaged or as specified in Maintenance Schedule on page 31. -
Page 36: Vacuum Pump Maintenance
Vacuum Pump maintenance The vacuum pump creates the vacuum. Regular maintenance of the pump is very important. 7.7.1 Overview Depending of the configuration the machine is equipped with one of the following pumps: 7.7.1.1 Pump 8 m Figure 10: Overview of the Pump Vacuum pump - Creates the vacuum for the process. -

Oil sight glass - Indicates the maximum and minimum oil levels of the vacuum pump. Oil drain plug - Removing the oil drain plug allows the oil to be drained. -
Page 38: Replacing The Oil Exhaust Filter
See Overview on page 36 for the pump fitted in the machine and an overview of the parts. If the machine remains unused for a prolonged period of time, the oil must be removed from the pump. This is necessary because moisture and dirt in the oil may affect the pump, causing the pump to jam at the next use. -
Page 39: Pump 16 - 21 M
Follow the steps below to remove the old oil exhaust filter: Remove the filter cover (3) of the vacuum pump (1) and put it aside. Remove the oil exhaust filter (2) from the vacuum pump. Follow the steps below to install a new oil exhaust filter: Turn the new filter into the vacuum pump. - Page 40 It is advisable to run the program before using the machine for the first time, after the machine has been stationary for a lengthy period of time, and especially prior to changing oil. Run the pump cleaning program every week. If you package moisture-containing products, such as soups and sauces, the pump cleaning program should be run every day.
