Food Storage and Safety information

This vacuum chamber packaging machine uses the vacuum sealing method to airtight pack food. Vacuum packaging is an easy and efficient way of packaging a variety of food, because it can prevent 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 chemical 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: Above table is just for reference only and suggest to follow local hygienic and epidemiological regulations

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 not 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 ON/OFF button (A) is not pressed.	Press ON/OFF button (A) to start the machine if it cannot start automatically.
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 (11).	Pack the food in a new bag and place properly in the chamber so the en- tire opening can be sealed. Don’t use bags that don’t fit the sealing bar.
The sealing bar (11) and the inside vacuum chamber (9) is not clean enough.	Wipe the surface of the sealing bar (11) and inside the vacuum chamber (9) to keep clean, dry and free of de- bris.
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 be- fore 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.
