Frequently Asked Questions - VA-0030 Concept

How do I clean the vacuum sealer?

Unplug the device and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in water or use abrasive cleaners. The drip tray can be removed and washed separately.

What types of bags can I use?

Use only specially designed vacuum sealer bags or rolls. Standard zip-lock bags are not suitable as they cannot create a proper vacuum seal.

Can I seal liquids?

Avoid sealing liquids directly. For soups or stews, freeze them first in a container, then remove and vacuum seal the frozen block using the pulse mode to prevent liquid from entering the pump.

How long does vacuum-sealed food last?

Vacuum sealing extends shelf life: meat up to 3-5 years in freezer, vegetables 2-3 years, dry goods 1-2 years. Refrigerated items last 2-3 times longer than non-sealed.

What is the pulse function for?

The pulse function allows manual control of vacuum time, ideal for delicate items like bread or berries. Press and hold until desired vacuum level is reached, then release to seal.

Why isn't my vacuum sealer sealing properly?

Ensure the sealing bar is clean and free of debris. Check that the gasket is properly positioned and not damaged. Also, make sure the bag is placed correctly across the sealing strip.

Can I use the vacuum sealer for sous vide cooking?

Yes, this model is suitable for sous vide. The heavy-duty seal and strong vacuum create airtight pouches that withstand water immersion.

How do I store the vacuum sealer?

Store in a dry, cool place. Wrap the power cord loosely around the device. Keep the lid closed to protect the sealing bar from dust.

What does the marinate mode do?

The marinate mode alternates vacuum and release cycles to quickly infuse flavors into meat or vegetables in minutes instead of hours.

Is the device repairable?

Yes, spare parts such as the sealing gasket and vacuum pump are available. For repairs, contact authorized service centers or consult the manual for DIY replacements.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Use of box with AC adapter:

1. Place the appliance on a firm, dry and heat resistant surface, away from heat sources.
2. Connect the AC adapter (7) to the appliance (Fig. 1) and plug it into the mains.
3. Make sure that the appliance is turned off by ON/OFF button (no LED is lit) (10).
4. Press and hold for 5 seconds the drain valve button (1) on the upper lid of the appliance (Fig. 2).
5. Release the opening system (3) and open the lid of the appliance.
6. Place foodstuff to be stored on the tray at the bottom of the bowl.

CAUTION:

Foodstuff that might clog the vacuum pump filter (crumbs or liquids) must be put in a bag or a suitable container before it is placed in the vacuum bowl.

Never place foodstuff directly on the vacuum pump filter (6). This could reduce the pump performance or cause permanent damage to the device.

1. Close the bowl lid and secure it by a locking system.
2. Press ON/OFF button (4). The integrated pump starts to exhaust air from the bowl immediately (red light is lit). Once the air is vented (after about 1 minute), the pump is turned off automatically (green light is lit).
3. The vacuum bowl can be used in two modes:

Fig. 2

A) Automatic mode

Having exhausted the air, leave the ON/OFF button on. The vacuum pump is activated again automatically, if any air is sucked into the bowl.

B) Manual mode

When the air is exhausted, switch the ON/OFF button to off position. To activate the vacuum pump, switch the button on again.

Use of box with batteries:

1. Remove the battery cover (9) in the bottom of the bowl.
2. Place 4 pieces of D batteries of 1.5 V according to +/- polarity indicated.
3. Fit the battery cover back in its place and then follow the instructions stated in „Use of bowl with AC adapter“, starting from item 3.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Clean the appliance regularly according to the frequency of its use to prevent accumulation of foodstuff remains and generation of unpleasant odour.

Use a clean damp cloth for cleaning.

Never rinse or immerse the appliance in water or other liquids.

The vacuum pump must always be kept clean. Before each use, make sure the filter is not clogged with foodstuff remains.

The appliance is not to be cleaned in a dishwasher or heated in a microwave oven!

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. If the appliance does not work, check the following:

Is the AC adapter connected properly?

Are the batteries inserted correctly?

Are batteries discharged?

Are there any foodstuff remains in the vacuum pump or its filter?

2. If the appliance still does not work, try the following:

Turn on the appliance using the ON/OFF button and press the bowl lid gently with both hands until the vacuum pump stops working.

If the pump motor does not stop working, even though there is no air left in the bowl, the problem may be caused by old batteries.

The manufacturer, importer and seller are not liable for damages arising from breach of the appliance operating instructions.
