drawn into the liquid trap. It may also force food items out of shape which may be important if they
are being displayed for sale. You can however initiate the sealing process, at any time, during the
vacuum cycle just by pressing the seal button (P). See Packing at a Lower Pressure.
Automatic Operation
Use this when the item you are packing is fairly resilient and does not contain too much liquid. You
may need to experiment to discover which items are suitable.
1.
Set the vacuum pump control switch (R) to ‘II’
2.
Set the manual/auto switch (S) to ‘AUT’.
3.
Set the rotary switch which controls the bag sealing time (L) to 5.
4.
Place the item in the bag and place the bag with the rough/embossed side down. Lift the
front of the machine and place the top of the bag into the bag locator (F).
It is vital that the top of the bag is correctly located with the full width of the bag inside the
bag locator. Failure to locate the bag properly is the most common cause of problems with
Lava machines.

corners of the lid. NOTE - when the machine is new or the seals have just been replaced you
will need to press down very hard on the corners of the lid for about one second to initiate
the vacuum. Failure to press down hard enough, at this stage, is the second most common
cause of problems with Lava machines.
6.
The machine will draw all of the air out of the bag to a pressure of 0.9 bar and will then seal
the bag automatically before switching off. You can initiate the seal process earlier and at
lower pressure just by pressing button (P).
7.
You can now raise the lid and remove the sealed bag. Before packing other items, check that
the seals look OK – see Checking the Seal.
Manual Operation
Use this when the item you are packing is fairly soft or contains too much liquid for automatic
operation. See Packing at a Lower Pressure.
