• Make sure the machine is level and has been placed on a solid level surface.
• To ensure easy access for maintenance and sufficient ventilation, the machine must not be closed
in and is easily accessed from all sides.
• The main cable must be routed in such a manner to minimize any tripping hazard or that will cause
damage to it.
• Before connecting the machine to the mains make sure that the voltage stated on the specifications
plate is the same as that of the mains supply and that the connection is properly earthen.
• The standard machine must be connected to 230 Volt - 1 phase - 50 Hertz (depending on the
country).
• Check the oil level. It is crucial that there is enough oil in the machine. If the machine has been
supplied without oil, (see chapter “Looking After Your Machine” section entitled “Oil”).
• The temperature in the workspace should not be lower than 10°C, as the oil in the vacuum pump
will thicken and prevent the smooth operation of the pump.
• Before you start with the vacuum process, familiarize yourself with the procedure.
• Don’t just start vacuuming sauces or other liquid products. When vacuuming sauces or soups, the
pressure in the vacuum chamber must be carefully monitored, because the boiling point of liquids
is lower as the vacuum percentage goes up. As soon as the boiling point has been reached, you
can see the gas bubbles in the product.
