Page 6: Use
Misuse excludes the manufacturer from any liability! The risk is borne by the plant operator alone. Avoidable incorrect use – Use of externally purchased articles, e.g. non-original MULTIVAC spare parts. – Incorrect operation. Example: Sealing times that are too short or too long result in the film pouches not being closed securely and thus damage the product. -
Page 7: Safety
Safety Safety General Safety Notes Dangerous contact voltage! Making contact with voltage-carrying parts can lead to severe injury, even death. Only qualified electricians are permitted to make repairs to the electrical equipment. Switch off the machine before conducting any repair work. Turn the main switch to 0 and lock it to prevent accidental start-up. -
Page 8: Electromagnetic Compatibility (Emc)
Safety Electromagnetic Com- Chamber machines are designed for use in domestic, business and trade sectors (without the use of an individual transformer, running from the pub- patibility (EMC) lic electric power supply). If employed in the industrial sector, a limitation of the operating characteristics may occur. -

Page 17: Recommended Settings
Determine the correct settings by experimentation, see "Setting recommendations" and "Displaying values, changing values". – If the factory settings have to be changed and newly stored on Program 1, please contact MULTIVAC. Recommended Settings Sealing The standard pouch "PA/PE", thickness 100 µm, is best suited for most gastronomic products. - Page 18 Operation Target vacuum guidelines for: Veg. Cheese Meat Soup, Sauces etc. 80°C 40°C To Be Noted When Using Liquid Products: Vacuum lowers the boiling point of liquids. Liquids boil at a lower tempera- ture under a vacuum, which makes itself noticeable through the formation of bubbles in the pouch.

Do you have a question about the C 500 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
Que parte necesito ordenar para una c500 que solo se activa el vaccuun y celado hacia el lado izquierdo y cuando se mueve al lado derecho solo ase un sonido de fuga del aire dando herror 69
The issue with the Multivac C 500, where vacuum and sealing only activate on the left side and an air leak sound with error 69 occurs when moved to the right side, suggests a problem with the air de-oiling component or a faulty valve related to the vacuum system. You may need to order a replacement air de-oiling component and check the oil return flow valve as mentioned in the manual. Additionally, inspect the sealing bar and chamber components for misalignment or leaks.

Tengo una multinacional c500 que por rato deja de sellar cuál puede ser la causa y que pieza debo ordenar
A Multivac C 500 could stop sealing intermittently due to several possible causes:
1. Insufficient Pressure – If the pressure is below 400 mbar, the sealing force may be inadequate. Check and correct the settings.
2. Improper Sealing Time – The sealing time may be set incorrectly. Adjust to the correct time.
3. Unsuitable Pouch – Ensure that the pouch used is capable of being sealed.
4. Pouch Neck Placement – If the pouch neck is squeezed by the lid, reposition it within the chamber.
5. Damaged or Dirty Lid Seal – If the lid seal is dirty, clean it. If it is damaged, replace it.
6. Misadjusted Lid – Adjust the lid if necessary.
7. Worn Teflon Strip or Sealing Bar – If the Teflon strip or sealing bar is worn or damaged, it should be replaced.
The part that may need to be ordered is the lid seal or Teflon strip/sealing bar, depending on the observed issue.
