3
The machine seals
without firstly
creating a vacuum
in the bag
• Make sure that the open side of the bag is inside the machine decompression
chamber (7), beyond the sealing bar (9)
4
The machine cre-
ates the vacuum
but does not seal
the bag
• Check that you have not vacuum packed food that might have rigid or pointed
parts that during packing could have punctured the bag (e.g. cheese rinds or
bones)
• Try changing the bag to see if it is a faulty one
5
Sealing spoils the
bag “melting” it
• Make sure you use original TRE SPADE bags
• Check that you have not changed the sealing time by accident; refer to the
“Sealing bar temperature adjustment” paragraph
6
As soon as it is
connected to the
mains, the vacuum
packer has started
a cycle on its own
without using any
control
• The last time it was used it was cut off by a blackout or was not switched off
correctly. Allow the packer to complete the cycle or press the stand by key
(3). The packer will be ready to work normally.
7
The machine cre-
ates the vacuum
and seals correctly
but after a while
the bag swells
again
• Try changing the bag to see if it is a faulty one
• Check that the bag is not dirty with food (especially fats and serum) in the
area where sealing takes place; in which case, carefully clean the area
concerned with a tissue
• Check that there are no puckers on the seal and that it has been carried out
at the correct temperature (also see point 4 above)
• Certain fresh vacuum-packed foods (e.g. beans, runner beans, courgettes,
some fresh sausages, fresh cheeses, etc.) also release gas, which gets
trapped in the already sealed bag.
• Check that you have not changed the sealing time by accident; refer to the
“Sealing bar temperature adjustment” paragraph
8
The vacuum
packer does not
create a vacuum in
the jars
• Check that the jar lid is perfectly clean outside and inside and that there
are no remains of foreign material (food, glue, labels) in the area below and
immediately surrounding the valve
• For further details please refer to the cautions given in the leaflet provided
with the valves
9
The jars lose their
vacuum after a
short time
• Certain fresh vacuum-packed foods (e.g. beans, runner beans, courgettes,
some fresh sausages, fresh cheeses, etc.) also release gas, which gets
trapped in the jar already under vacuum.
• Check that the jar lid is perfectly clean outside and inside and that there
are no remains of foreign material (food, glue, labels) in the area below and
immediately surrounding the valve
• For further details please refer to the cautions given in the leaflet provided
with the valves
