Vacuum packaging with any model in the VACPAK-IT line will yield unbelievable results.

These machines remove up to 95% of the air from the package. This will help keep food

fresher up to 5 times longer than under normal storage methods. You can store dry

foods like pasta, cereal and ﬂour, fresh meats like pork, chicken and beef, vegetables

like carrots, potatoes and squash, or even frozen liquids like soups and drink mixes. The

possibilities are endless.

Once packaged, there are a variety of unique methods to cook your stored food. You

can cook the food traditionally or sous vide it for a tender and lush ﬂavor.

Vegetables should always be blanched – cook until crispy and then submerge in cold

water to stop the cooking process – to kill any enzymes that may cause out-gassing

when vacuumed.

IMPORTANT

NEVER vacuum pack garlic, fungi (like mushrooms),

or soft cheese (like Brie, Camembert, and Ricotta).

A dangerous chemical reaction takes place when air is removed,

causing them to be extremely dangerous if ingested.

Initial Setup

Packaging Guidelines

If you are part of the food processing or food service industry, there is a good chance

that you already know the advantages of vacuum packaging. It has been used with

success for many years as a safe and cost eective method for extending shelf life and

maintaining the quality of food products. If vacuum packaging is new to your home or

business, you will soon wonder how you lived without it!

Whether you are a beginner or expert, there are certain basic guidelines that should

always be followed in order to package foods safe to eat. Neglecting these basic

guidelines can result in food spoilage, and in some cases, illness or death.

Note: The machine is designed with a hanging bag mechanism, the bag can only be hung

on the hook, therefore, it is necessary to purchase the specialized bag with the hook holes.

• Package only fresh foods. Do not package old or rancid foods. An already bad

product does not improve with vacuum packaging.

• Fresh foods (Meats, vegetables, cheeses, etc.) should be refrigerated at 34˚F or below

or frozen after vacuum packaging.

• Vacuum packaging removes a high percentage of air. This slows the growth of most

living microorganisms, which degrade food, such as aerobic bacteria and molds.

However, some forms of bacteria such as clostridium botulinum (responsible for

botulism) are anaerobic and grow in the absence of oxygen.

• The foods susceptible to botulinum should be refrigerated for a short term and frozen

for long-term storage. Consume immediately after heating.

• Keeps food fresh 3-5 times longer than conventional storage bags.

• Several sizes available to meet your packaging needs.

• Well suited to use with many other household appliances

• Can be refrigerated, frozen or safe in the use of microwave ovens can be boiled, fully

applicable with the current popular cooking style Sous-Vide.

• Pouch thickness available in standard 3mil or heavy duty 4mil.

IMPORTANT

NEVER vacuum pack garlic, fungi (like mushrooms),

or soft cheese (like Brie, Camembert, and Ricotta).

A dangerous chemical reaction takes place when air is removed,

causing them to be extremely dangerous if ingested.

1. Vacuum bag placement: Select the appropriate size of the vacuum bag (vacuum bag need

to be with hang holes) to hold food, and then have the bag left side of the hanging hole

hanging into the ﬁxed hook, and then the right hanging hole linked to the adjustable hook,

move the hanging hook and keep the bag open end straight.

When placing the vacuum bag, make sure the bag is completely placed in the vacuum

chamber.

The liquid tank in the vacuum chamber is designed to prevent the bag from rupturing and

prevent the liquid from ﬂowing out.

2. After the machine is connected to a grounded outlet, the LED display shows "OFF"

3. Press the "Power" button to keep the machine in a working status.

4. Set the time: Press "Set" button to select the seal time or the marinate time (the

corresponding indicator light will turn bright). After selecting the working mode, set the time

with the "+" "-" key

5. Set the vacuum degree:

Press the "Vacuum Level" button to select the vacuum degree: Max(29.0 inHg); High(28.5

inHg); Medium(27.5 inHg); Low(26.0 inHg); Minimum(23.5 inHg); Adjustable (When you

select Adjustable, you can use the "+" "-" key to set the required vacuum degree).

6. Vacuum - SEAL MODE:

A. When this mode is set (the Seal Time indicator light is on), press the Start button, machine

will automatically enters the vacuum process, the LED display value rises from 0 to the pre-

set vacuum degree.

B. When the vacuum process goes to the end, the machine will automatically enter the seal

mode, the number on the LED display will be gradually reduced to zero from the preset seal

time value.

C. The air goes back to the vacuum chamber, you will ﬁnd the vacuum bag tightly wrapped

around the product

D. When the machine beeps, the entire work process ends.

Note: DO NOT use the machine with the lid lock engaged. Always release the lid lock

before use. The lid lock feature is only to be used when the machine is in storage,

never while in use.

Note: Please keep the vacuum machine vertical.

1. According to the positioning drawings to ﬁx the installation hole.

2. Drill in the wall.

3. Install the expansion screw.

4. Install the ﬁxing screw (Do not completely ﬁt ﬁxed screw into the expansion screw,

leave 2-3mm empty space between hexagonal end and the wall

5. Install the machine in the ﬁxed screw to complete the installation.

Vacuum - MARINATE MODE:

Press marinate button, (Marinate Time light on), press Start Key, machine will

automatically enter the vacuum marinate cycle (every 9 minutes a cycle, could be set

up to 11 cycles) until the end; During the vacuuming process, the value on the LED

rises from 0 to the default vacuum value. During marinate process, the value on the

LED is gradually decreased from the default vacuum value.

7. Pouch Inspection

VACUUM – check the quality of the vacuum by looking at the tightness of the pouch

and the product. If you notice air pockets increase the vacuum time by 5 seconds, test

again. The vacuum time could take up to 60 seconds depending on the pouch size

and the volume of the product being packaged.

SEAL – Inspect the pouch seal.

Note: A positive seal will look “clear” upon inspection. If the seal is “spotty or

incomplete” increase the sealing time by 1 second. If the seal is “white or milky”

decrease the seal time by 1 second. *If the vacuum bag is not placed straightly

enough by the removable hook, it may lead to poor vacuum or poor sealing.

product installation

ISSUE REMEDY

Unit won't turn on

• Ensure the machine is properly plugged into a grounded outlet.

• Check the power cord for tears, frays, or other damage.

Do not use machine if the power cord is damaged.

• Make sure the power switch is turned on.

The LED screen will be illuminated when on.

Not achieving a

complete vacuum

• Vacuum time may not be set high enough. Set the vacuum time

higher in small increments and try again until the desired vacuum

is achieved.

• The edge of the bag must be across the seal bar, and not extend

past the chamber, ensure there are no wrinkles in the bag and that

the bag is inside the chamber.

• Make sure the seal is complete and that the seal is clear. If the seal

is spotty, incomplete, wrinkled, milky, or white colored, they are

inadequate. Cut seal portion and restart the vacuum process.

• Ensure both the sealer and bag are clean, dry and free of debris

for the vacuum process to be successful. Wipe the surface of the

seal bar and inside of the bag and try again.

Bag loses vacuum

after being sealed

• Check for sharp items such as bones, stems, cloves and others

that can puncture the bags, cover them with a folded paper towel

and vacuum in a new pouch.

• Some fruits and vegetables can release gases if not properly

prepared before storing. Make sure to blanch or freeze food

before packaging. If in doubt about the quality of the food, discard

immediately.

Pouch not sealed

properly

• The sealing time may not be long enough for an adequate seal.

Increase the seal time in small increments of 0.1 seconds and try

again.

• Ensure both the sealer and bag are clean, dry and free of debris

for the vacuum process to be successful. Wipe the surface of the

seal bar and inside of the bag and try again.

• The edge of the bag must be across the seal bar, and not extend

past the chamber, ensure there are no wrinkles in the bag and that

the bag is inside the chamber.

Buttons not working

• In rare cases, the buttons and/or programs may not work properly.

If this occurs, unplug the machine and plug it back in to reset the

programming.
