CONFIGURATION OF THE VACUUM TIME
The selection of the vacuum time regulates the amount of air that the pump will extract during the
packaging process. The longer the vacuum time, the less air will remain in the bag and the longer
the preservation time of the foods will be. Logically, the longer the vacuum time selected, the longer
the packaging process.
The packaging machine offers a range from 20 to 99 seconds.
Press the function selector button "SET" (11) until the sealing time display flashes once.
The digital display (2) will show the vacuum time selected, expressed in seconds.
