Maintenance And Troubleshooting - Omcan VP-IT-0300 Instruction Manual

Operation
• Position the attachment on the plug, covering the valve completely.
• Start the pump on the vacuum until the desired vacuum level is reached.
WARNING: Stop vacuum when the red light (if present) is on or when the needle reaches the red
level.
• Once the machine is switched off, remove the attachment for containers from the lid and screw in the plug
until the valve is blocked.
• To open the container, slightly unscrew the plug until the valve is released, then move the valve so air
enters the container.
VACUUM PACKING WITH UNIVERSAL LIDS
• Proceed as per vacuum packaging in the container, taking care the edge of the container used sticks
perfectly to the universal lid seal.
• In case of prolonged use on the same container, the seal of the lid can have a groove left by the edge of
the container; to eliminate any use problems, you must rotate the gasket on the opposite side; then the
groove with shortly disappear by itself.
• The seal of the lids can be removed for washing; once dry they must be correctly positioned; Attention! The
seal must be washed exclusively by hand with lukewarm water.
THE VACUUM LEVEL
The vacuum packers come with a vacuum sensor installed on the electronic board that detects reaching
the vacuum level obtained on the bag or container, controlling the start of the sealing function (automatic
operation). Certain models are also equipped with a device (LED and/or vacuum gauge with hand) that
enables the user to check the vacuum level created: switching on the red LED and/or the hand in the red zone
of the vacuum gauge indicates the optimal vacuum level has been reached. It is however possible to delay the
start of the sealing operation to obtain a greater vacuum level, i.e. not damage the machine in any way. The
vacuum level reachable by the machine is conditioned by the equality and shape of the food (or objects) in the
bag. Some food (fish, tomatoes, etc.) contain liquids that when compressed leak and can be sucked in causing
damage to the machine, and foodstuffs that due to their poor consistency can become crushed or damaged
by an excessive vacuum level; for this food, you are advised to check the level of adherence of the bag and
proceed to welding before any crushing.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

UNDERSTAND AND RESOLVE DOUBTS ON CORRECT USE OF THE APPLIANCES
FOR VACUUM PACKING
The appliance is tested at the time of manufacturing with at least 3 vacuum/sealing cycles. If you are having
difficulty during use, doubts or problems, you can proceed with some tests to check the efficiency of the
product.
