new vacuum cycle is started.

6.8 Guideline for Function Values
For each function, values can be set if you are authorised as an owner. In order to understand the
consequence of the set value, the table below explains the consequences of giving a low or high
value for each function.
For the values in the table below, the following rule of thumb applies to setting a value in mbar.
These values may vary slightly, depending on the humidity.
•
99.8% = 2 mbar
•
0% = 1013 mbar
Function
Range
Conditions
Vacuum
0 – 99%
(for 10-prog control)
30 – 99.8%
(for ACS)
Rule of thumb: the higher the vacuum, the less oxygen
remains in the package and the longer the shelf life of
the product. There are exceptions to this rule.
0 – 99 seconds
(for 10-prog control)
0 – 20 seconds
(for ACS)
This is the time the vacuuming will continue after the
maximum vacuum has been reached. This to allow
entrapped air to escape from the product. Please note
that the vacuum must be set to the maximum.
Gas
30 – 98%
(for 10-prog control)
1 – 69%
(for ACS)
For some products it may be desirable to insert gas
into the packaging to increase the shelf life of the
product.
