Frequently Asked Questions - SS-13025 Sogo

How to choose between Normal and Gentle mode?

Normal mode is default and suitable for most foods. Use Gentle mode for fragile foods (e.g., biscuits, chips) to avoid crushing them. You can switch to Gentle mode by pressing the 'Mode' button before starting suction.

What to do if the bag does not vacuum completely?

Check that the bag opening is properly placed in the vacuum chamber and does not extend beyond it. Ensure the latches are correctly locked (two clicks). Let the appliance cool for 40 seconds between uses. If the problem persists, the bag may be punctured or the sealing bar may be dirty.

How to use the marinate function?

Place the food in a suitable canister with the marinade. Connect the hose to the appliance and the canister lid. Press the Marinate button (LED on). The appliance will perform vacuum cycles to allow the marinade to penetrate faster. Press Stop to interrupt at any time.

Why does air re-enter the bag after vacuum sealing?

This may be due to imperfect sealing: check that there are no wrinkles or moisture on the sealing area. If the bag is punctured by a sharp food, use a new bag and wrap sharp foods in paper towel. Some fermenting foods produce gas: discard them if spoiled.

Can I use generic bags or rolls from other brands?

It is recommended to use bags and rolls specifically designed for vacuum sealing. Unsuitable accessories can compromise the seal and damage the appliance. Prefer Sogo or compatible accessories.

How to clean the appliance?

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the vacuum chamber, use a paper towel to remove residues. Never immerse the appliance in water and do not use abrasive products.

What is the storage duration of vacuum-sealed foods?

Vacuum sealing multiplies storage time: for example, red meat keeps 8-9 days in the refrigerator (vs. 3-4 days without vacuum), and vegetables 7-10 days (vs. 1-3 days). In the freezer, meat keeps 15-20 months vs. 4-6 months. Refer to the storage guide in the manual for more details.

What to do if the bag melts during sealing?

If the bag melts, the sealing bar is too hot. Let the appliance cool down for at least 5 minutes before using it again. Also ensure the rubber lip is clean and in good condition to avoid local overheating.

How to use the canister function?

Place the food in the canister, close the lid. Connect one end of the hose to the appliance's suction port and the other to the canister lid. Press the Canister button. Suction occurs automatically until stop. First disconnect the hose from the canister, then from the appliance.

The appliance does not start, what to check?

Ensure the power cord is properly plugged in and the outlet works (test with another device). Check that the cord is not damaged. The latches must be in the locked position. If nothing happens, let the appliance cool for 40 seconds after use, then try again.

TIPS ON USING CANISTER

Remove the lid before placing the canister in the microwave oven. Place the canister in the refrigerator for better preservation.

HELPFUL HINTS

1. Do not overfill the bags; leave enough length at the opening of the bag so that it can be placed in the vacuum chamber easily.
2. Ensure that the opening of the bag is not wet. A wet bag may be difficult to melt and seal tightly.
3. Vacuum sealing cannot completely replace refrigeration and freezing; perishable foods still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
4. Make the opening of plastic bags clean and flat, with no foreign objects or folds allowed, otherwise it will cause difficulty or leakage during sealing.
5. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently stretch the bag flat while inserting it into the vacuum chamber and hold it until the pump begins to work.
6. When vacuum sealing items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.), protect the bag from punctures by wrapping the item in soft cushioning material, such as tissue paper. You may need a canister or container instead of a bag.
7. When using accessories, remember to leave 2.5 cm (1 inch) of space at the top of the canister or container.
8. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for the best results.
9. Intervals of 40 seconds after sealing or vacuuming are recommended.
10. If you are unsure whether your bag was sealed properly, reseal the bag.

TIPS ON VACUUM SEALING WITH ACCESSORIES

Please pay attention to the following points before using accessories including canister, container, and wine stopper, etc.

1. Make sure to leave at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of space between objects and the edge.
2. Wipe the edge of the jar, container, or bottle to make sure it is clean and dry.
3. Put the lid on the canister or container, or insert the wine stopper into the bottle.
4. Turn the knob to vacuum the canister/container with a large knob on the lid. When the process is completed, turn the knob off, then remove the hose.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Don't immerse the appliance in water or other liquid for cleaning.
3. Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean, because it is easy to scratch the surface of the appliance.
4. Wipe the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap if necessary.
5. To clean the vacuum chamber, wipe away any food or liquid with a tissue paper.
6. Dry thoroughly before using again.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Nothing happens when you try to vacuum package:

1. Check if the power cord is tightly plugged into electrical outlet.
2. Check if the power cord is damaged.
3. Check if electrical outlet is working by plugging in another appliance.
4. Make sure the latches are in the locked position.
5. Make sure bag is placed correctly inside Vacuum Chamber.
6. Allow the appliance to cool for 40 seconds before using it again.

Note: To prevent overheating of the appliance, allow the appliance to cool for 40 seconds before using it again and keep the cover open.

AIR IS STILL IN THE BAG AFTER

1. Make sure the opening of the bag is placed entirely inside the vacuum chamber.
2. Examine the bag for leaks. Seal the bag with air, then immerse it in water and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak; use a new bag if bubbles appear.
3. If you use a bag with a customized size, check the seal of the bag. A wrinkle in the bag along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter. Simply cut the bag and reseal.
4. Do not attempt to make your own side seams for a bag. The bags are manufactured with special side seams that are sealed all the way to the outer edge. Making your own side seams may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter.
5. Please do not seal food that is hot. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, do not seal hot food, otherwise the food will shrink when it cools down, making it look like air is leaking.
6. There is still air inside bags containing vegetables or fruit after vacuuming. After vacuuming, please put the sealed bags into the refrigerator; otherwise, air release will occur due to photosynthesis, so you cannot achieve a vacuum result.
7. Please do not seal fermented food. Fermented food is not suitable for vacuum packing because fermented food will release air itself.

AIR WAS REMOVED FROM THE BAG, BUT NOW AIR HAS RE-ENTERED

1. Examine the seal of the bag. A wrinkle along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to enter. Simply cut the bag and reseal.
2. Sometimes moisture or food material (such as juices, grease, crumbs, powders, etc.) along the seal prevents the bag from sealing properly. Cut the bag, wipe the top inside of the bag, and reseal.
3. If you vacuum package sharp food items, the bag may have been punctured. Use a new bag if there is a hole. Cover sharp food items with a soft cushioning material, such as tissue paper, and reseal.
4. If there is still air in the bag, fermentation or the release of natural gases from inside the foods may have occurred. When this happens, the food may have begun to spoil and should be discarded.

THE BAG MELTS:

If the bag melts, the rubber lip may have become too hot. Always wait at least 5 minutes for the appliance to cool down before you vacuum package another item.
