Food Storage and Safety information
- This vacuum chamber packaging machine uses the vacuum sealing method to pack food airtight. Vacuum packaging is an easy and efficient way of packaging a variety of food, because it can pre-vent spoilage and extend the shelf life of food. The lack of air in the bag hinders hinder the growth of bacteria and molds. You can buy food in large quantities and vacuum pack them without the threat of food waste.
- However, please keep in mind that not all kinds of food can benefit from vacuum packaging. Never use vacuum packaging to store garlic or fungi such as mushrooms. A dangerous chemi-cal reaction will take place when air is removed, causing these foods to be dangerous if ingested. Vegetables should be washed and peeled before packaging to kill any enzymes that may cause deterioration when air is removed under vacuum packaging.
| Food | Vacuum and freezer storage | Vacuum and fridge storage | Typical storage |
| Fresh beef & veal | 1 ~ 2 years | 3 ~ 4 weeks | 1 ~ 2 weeks |
| Fresh pork | 1 ~ 2 years | 3 ~ 4 weeks | 1 week |
| Fresh fish | 1 ~ 2 years | 2 weeks | 3 ~ 4 days |
| Fresh fruits | 1 ~ 2 years | 2 weeks | 3 ~ 4 days |
Remark
1. Above table is just for reference only and suggest to follow local hygienic and epidemiological regulations.2. Vacuum packaging can only slow down the process of food spoilage, but it cannot stop food spoilage. The food still need to be put in the freezer or fridge.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Attention: Always unplug the machine from the electrical power outlet and let it cool down completely before cleaning & storage.
Cleaning
- Never immerse the machine in water or other liquids.
- Clean the cooled exterior surface with a slightly damp cloth or sponge with some mild soap solution.
- Never use abrasive sponges or detergents, steel wool or metallic utensils to clean the interior or exterior parts of the appliance.
Pump oil
- Check the colour of the pump oil regularly. The oil should be clear and bright. If the oil becomes muddy and darken, it means that the oil contains impurities and need to be replaced.
- Check the oil level at least once a week through the window cover to make sure it is at least above the MIN level.
- Change the pump oil for at least every 6 months.
Storage
- Before storage, always make sure the machine is disconnected from the electrical outlet and cooled down completely.
- Store the machine in a cool, clean and dry place and make sure the lid is closed and secured with the clamp.
Troubleshooting
If the machine does not function properly, please check the below table for the solution. If you are still unable to solve the problem, please contact the supplier/service provider.
| Problems | Possible cause | Possible solution |
| The machine does no switch on. | Power plug is not connected properly with the electrical power outlet. | Make sure the power plug is connected properly with the electrical power outlet. |
| The vacuum bag is not vacuum and / or sealed completely. | Vacuum/ Seal time is not long enough. | Set longer Vacuum/Seal time. |
| The opening of the vacuum bag was not entirely and properly placed under the sealing bar (8). | Pack the food in a new bag and place properly in the chamber so the entire opening can be sealed. Don’t use bags that don’t fit the sealing bar. | |
| The sealing bar (8) and the inside vacuum chamber (9) is not clean enough. | Wipe the surface of the sealing bar (8) and inside the vacuum chamber (10) to keep clean, dry and free of debris. | |
| There is some moisture, food particles or debris on the seal area of the vacuum bag. | Wipe the seal area of the vacuum bag to make sure it is dry and clean. | |
| Vacuum bag loses vacuum after being sealed. | Inside the vacuum bag has food with sharp points to penetrate the bag and thus air enters into the vacuum bag. | Cut off the sharp points or cover it before packing. |
| Some food can release gases also food can release gases due to food spoilage. | Blanch or frozen the food properly before packaging. Discard the food if in doubt. |
