Frequently Asked Questions - VS-130802 Emerio

How to create a custom bag with the device?

Unroll the film from the roll, cut to the desired length using the cutting bar. Place one end of the film in the vacuum chamber, close the lid by locking it, then press the Seal button. After cooling, open the lid: you get a custom bag.

What types of bags should I use?

Use only bags or rolls with embossing (pattern) of a thickness of 0.1 to 0.2 mm and a width less than 300 mm. Smooth bags do not allow proper vacuum sealing.

What is the difference between the three suction modes?

The Gentle suction mode is for soft foods (fruits, vegetables). The Normal suction mode for dry foods (nuts, biscuits). The Moist suction mode for wet foods (meat, fish). Choose the appropriate mode to avoid crushing the food.

Why is my device not vacuuming properly?

Check that the seals are properly in place and clean. Make sure the lid is correctly locked (click). The bag must be positioned on the heating element, with the embossed side down. If the problem persists, clean the collection tray and seals.

How to clean the device after use?

Unplug the device and let it cool. Wipe the surfaces with a soft cloth soaked in soapy water. Remove the collection tray and wash it with hot water. The seals can be removed and cleaned with soapy water, then dried completely. Never immerse the device.

Can I put liquids under vacuum in the bags?

No, liquids (soup, sauce, juice) should not be vacuumed because they will be sucked into the device and may damage it. If this happens, unplug the device immediately and clean the collection tray.

How long can I store vacuum-sealed foods?

Storage times vary depending on the food. For example, uncut vegetables keep 1 to 2 years in the freezer, bread 1 to 3 years, ground meat 1 year. Refer to the storage chart in the manual for more details.

Does the device get very hot during use?

Yes, the heating element and pressure bar become very hot. Never touch them during or immediately after sealing. Let them cool before cleaning. The device has overheat protection with programmed pauses.

Where can I get spare parts like seals or the tray?

Contact Emerio customer service at the coordinates provided in the manual. The seals, collection tray, and film stops are removable and replaceable. Compatible film rolls are available in stores.

What to do if the device no longer works?

Check the power supply and that the lid is properly locked. If the problem persists, the device is covered by a 2-year warranty. Keep your receipt and contact the seller or Emerio after-sales service. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself.

BEFORE USE

Prepare vacuum bags or bag roll with emboss (0.1-0.2mm thickness and less than 300mm width) for vacuum seal. If the plastic bag is too thin, the air may penetrate the bag.

• Remove all packaging material. Keep the packaging material out of children's reach. Dispose of it immediately.
  • If applicable, press the release buttons on both sides at the same time, in order to release the lid.
• Wipe the collection tray of the device with a slightly damp cloth prior to initial use.
• Completely unwind the power cable and press the cable into the small opening leading out of the cable compartment at the bottom of the appliance. This way, you will prevent the appliance from "wobbling".
• Place the appliance on a level and stable surface. The rubber feet provide a secure grip.
• Open the lid and check the seals for correct fit. These must be completely and evenly pressed into the mounting. Otherwise, no vacuum can be generated.
• After use, open the lid; never come into contact with the heating element and the pressing bar, to avoid burns.
• Prior to initial use, please perform 1 to 2 sealing cycles. Slight odours and slight smoke development are normal and will disappear after a short time. Nevertheless, ensure that there is sufficient ventilation (e.g. by opening a window).
• Consecutive vacuuming/sealing processes are only possible after a programmed pause of approx. 15 seconds. After 10 consecutive processes, a 10-minute cool-down break is programmed. During this time, the device cannot be started.
• The roll of sealing bags can be supported on the two film roll racks. Adjust the position of these two racks to match film roll of different lengths.
• However, ready-made bags can also be used. Bags that have ridges or dots on one side are appropriate. Smooth bags are not suitable for sealing.

Prepare film

1. Before sealing, make sure the edges of the open side of the bags to be sealed are cut flat with no wrinkles.
2. If use a film roll, adjust the position of the two racks to match the length of the film roll. The film roll racks can only move when they are flipped close. When the position is suitable, flip open the racks to fix the roll.

1. Prepare bags. For this, unroll a piece of film from the film roll and cut it with appropriate scissors or cutting bar to the required length.

Due to the sealing, the usable length of the bag will be slightly shorter than the piece that you have cut off from the film roll.

1. To use the cutting bar, flip it open. Position the film over the appliance. Press down the cutting bar to lock it back in position. Slide the blade button to the left or right to cut the film. Remember to press the blade button slightly downwards onto the film while sliding.

6) Wait about 15 seconds before using the appliance again.

CAUTION! Burn hazard! Hot surface! The heating element and the pressing bar are very hot after the sealing process.

2. Vacuum seal function

1) Fill the vacuum bag with the food to be vacuum-sealed, and leave enough space for vacuum seal. Liquids (e.g. soup, sauce, meat juice) should not be vacuum-sealed into the bag. Liquids will be sucked in the device. If this should happen, disconnect the power plug and do not use the device.
2) Open the lid of the appliance, and place the open side of bag into the vacuum chamber.
3) Press the lid down firmly on both sides at the same time until you hear a click, which indicates the lid is completely locked.
4) Plug in the appliance and press the soft vacuum / stop button, normal vacuum / stop button or moist vacuum / stop button. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate as well as the indicator light of seal / stop button. Once the vacuum sealing process is completed, all the indicator lights of buttons will flash 3 times and then turn off.

You can also press any button manually during operation to stop the process in advance.

• Soft vacuum: suitable for sealing soft foods, like: vegetables, fruit, e. g. grape, tomato, etc.
• Normal vacuum: suitable for sealing dry food, like: soybean, seasonings, nuts (no sharp shell), biscuits, etc.
• Moist vacuum: suitable for sealing wet food, like: meat, e.g. fish, beef, etc.

5) Press the two release buttons to open the lid, take out the vacuum-sealed bag.

6) Wait about 15 seconds before using the appliance again. Unplug the appliance after use.

7) If some liquid escapes during the vacuuming process, it will be caught in the collection tray. Check the collection tray after each vacuuming process and remove the tray to clean the moisture residues.

CAUTION! Burn hazard! Hot surface! The heating element and the pressing bar are very hot after the sealing process.

3. Vacuum function without sealing

If necessary, the appliance could also vacuum other sealing bags or jars with a suitable hose (not provided) matching the suction opening in the appliance.

1) Open the lid and remove the liquid collection tray.
2) Connect the hose of the sealing bag to the suction opening.
3) Plug in the appliance and long press the normal vacuum / stop button for more than 3 seconds. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate as well as the indicator light of seal / stop button. Once the vacuuming process is completed, all the indicator lights of buttons will flash 3 times and then turn off. You can also press any button manually during operation to stop the process in advance.
