VP95 Machine Maintenance Vacuum Pump Maintenance This machine requires periodic oil changes. Required oil change schedule: ▫ First oil change: after 25 hours of usage. ▫ Future oil changes: change oil after every 60 hours of machine usage. Check the oil level and color frequently using the OIL SITE GLASS. ▫ Oil must remain between 1/2 and 3/4 in the OIL SITE GLASS. ▫ With use, the pump oil will become cloudy or dark. Once oil becomes discolored, replace with new VacMaster® vacuum oil.
Important Tips ▫ For optimal performance use VacMaster® Vacuum Chamber Pouches and Accessories. ▫ Delicate foods can be frozen prior to packaging to protect them from being crushed by the vacuum process. ▫ Use VacMaster® Bone Guards to cover sharp edges to prevent pouch punctures. ▫ Allow foods and liquids to cool before vacuum packaging. ▫ Avoid overfilling the pouch. Leave a minimum of 3" of space between the contents and the open end of the pouch. This is called "head space".
Cleaning & Storage Oil Cleaning Button function The oil cleaning program runs the vacuum pump for 30 cycles. During this program, pump and oil reach operating temperature. Moisture in the pump is absorbed by the oil. The high temperature causes any moisture in the pump to evaporate, and minimizes the risk of corrosion.
Troubleshooting VP95 will not turn on ▫ Make sure the machine is properly plugged into a grounded outlet. ▫ Check the power cord for tears and frays. Do not use this machine if the power cord is damaged. ▫ Make sure the power switch is turned on. The LED screen will be illuminated when on. ▫ If you see ‘ERR’ displayed on the LED screen and the machine will not function, make sure the lid is open and turn the power off. Turn the machine back on and it should return to working order.
Important Guidelines ▫ Follow all food safety regulations as outlined at www.FDA.gov ▫ Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for canning. ▫ Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing. ▫ Vacuum packaging cannot reverse the deterioration of foods. ▫ All perishable foods must be refrigerated or frozen. ▫ Some fruits and vegetables may release gases, known as outgassing. When packaging these fruits and vegetables, outgassing can cause the vacuum to be gradually lost over time.
