Dehumidifying the pump oil

The main element of the vacuum-packer is the vacuum pump. Steps
should be taken to ensure that the pump does not oxidise on its
internal surfaces and consequently cause a blockage of the rotors. This
can occur due to residues of rust, which are formed when water
vapour is drawn in with the air, which then condenses and remains
inside the pump for long periods of time. To prevent this happening
you can:
1) Vacuum-pack products when they are cold, possibly at a
temperature of 3 – 4°C. The hotter the product, the
shorter the preservation and the greater the formation of
condensation inside the pump which can cause rust and
damage.
2) If this device is only used occasionally, before packing the
products, run at least two – three complete long
preservation container cycles with the chamber empty.
This enables the temperature of the pump oil to reach the
right level and the water vapour to be evacuated.
It
is
dehumidifying cycle of the pump oil once a week by
pressing the preserving cycle button for five seconds.
If the appliance is switched back on after a long period of
inactivity the dehumidifying cycle should be carried out
before the appliance is used. The cycle lasts approximately
twenty minutes.
