Troubleshooting - Vacmaster VP112 User Manual

VP112 will not turn on -
• Ensure that the machine is properly plugged into a grounded outlet.
• Check the power cord for tears and frays. Do not use machine if power cord
is damaged.
▪ Make sure the ON/OFF button was properly pressed. LED screen will be
illuminated when on.
VP112 does not pull a complete vacuum with pouch -
• Vacuum/seal time may not be set high enough. Set vacuum and seal times
higher and vacuum again.
• To vacuum and seal properly, the opening of pouch must be within the
vacuum chamber. For detailed instructions, refer to "Operating Instructions".
• VP112 and vacuum pouch need to be clean, dry and free of debris for the
vacuum process to be successful. Wipe surface of seal bar and inside of
pouch and try again.
Vacuum pouch loses vacuum after being sealed -
• Sharp items can puncture small holes in pouches. To prevent this, cover
sharp edges with paper towel and vacuum in a new pouch.
• Some fruits and vegetables can release gases (out-gassing) if not properly
blanched or frozen before packaging. Open pouch. If you think food spoilage
has begun, discard food. If food spoilage has not yet begun, consume
immediately. If in doubt, discard food.
