2 OPERATION
The models Compact MINI, MAXI, Gastrovac, Gastrovac PRO and SUPER are machines that functions
automatically, When the filled vacuum pouch has been put in the vacuum chamber and the lid is closed
the operation will start automatically. The machine will automatically follow the entered program from
vacuuming to sealing. After the sealing has been completed the vacuum pump will turn off and the lid
will automatically open.
2.1 Warm up position
After the machine has been switched off for a period of time we recommend that the machine is
“warmed up”. Set the On/Off switch in the position WARM UP (B). Allow the pump to run (10 minutes
max.). the main switch can then be reset to ON. The machine is ready to be used.
2.2 Vacuuming and Sealing
Set the On/Off Switch (B) to position ON. The red light will light up, (adjacent to the switch) to indicate
that the machine is ready to be used.
The vacuum chamber contains filler plates. When the vacuum pouches are filled, a number of the filler
plates must be removed (or not for smaller packs) so that the vacuum pouch lies directly on the
sealing bar, ensure that the pouch lies half above the bar and half below it. The vacuum pouches
should never stick out of the machine to stop the lid closing, NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID
CLOSED.
2.3 Vacuuming
Depending on the desired vacuum, the vacuum dial (C) on the control panel can be set. A red light (D)
serves as a control indicator of the vacuum time. Start with position 3. If there is insufficient vacuum,
set the dial to a higher value. The attained vacuum can be seen on the vacuum gauge (G) on the right
side of the control panel. It is important that the vacuum time for products with enclosed air is
extended.
2.4 Sealing
The seal time is set by the seal dial (E), The red light (F) serves as a control indicator of the sealing
time. Starting with position 3, if the sealing time is too long (scorching the bag), set the dial to a lower
value; if the sealing time is too short (the sealed product easily opens), set the dial to a higher value.
