Frequently Asked Questions - Moose VS-0824S WILFA

How do I use the vacuum sealer?

Place the open end of a vacuum bag into the vacuum chamber, press down the lid until you hear two clicks, then press the Vac/Seal button. The appliance will vacuum and seal automatically.

What is the recommended interval between uses?

After each seal or vacuum cycle, allow the appliance to cool for 40 seconds to prevent overheating. Keep the lid open during cooling.

Can I use the appliance for moist foods?

Yes, press the Food button to switch from 'Dry' to 'Moist' mode. Moist foods require a longer sealing time.

How do I use the canister function?

Connect the hose to the vacuum nozzle and a compatible canister lid. Press the Canister button to start vacuuming. The appliance will stop automatically.

What should I do if the bag doesn't seal properly?

Ensure the bag opening is clean, dry, and wrinkle-free. Check that it is fully inserted into the vacuum chamber and the lid locks properly. If the seal is weak, use the Seal button to reseal.

How do I clean the vacuum sealer?

Unplug the appliance. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Clean the vacuum chamber with a tissue. Never immerse the appliance in water.

Can I reuse vacuum bags?

No, always use new bags to avoid possible illness. Reusing bags can compromise the vacuum seal and food safety.

What is the Gentle mode for?

Press the Mode button to select 'Gentle' for crumbly or delicate foods. This reduces vacuum pressure to avoid crushing them.

How long does vacuum-packed food last?

Vacuum packing extends shelf life significantly. For example, red meat lasts 8-9 days in the fridge (vs 3-4 days without vacuum), and up to 15-20 months in the freezer.

What is covered under the guarantee?

Wilfa provides a 5-year guarantee covering production failures or defects for products used in private households. It excludes misuse, normal wear, and unauthorized repairs.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Do not overload the bags, leave enough length at the opening of the bag so that it can be placed in the vacuum chamber easily.
• Ensure that the opening of the bag is not wet. A wet bag may be difficult to melt and seal tightly.
  • Vacuum seal cannot completely replace the refrigeration and freeze, Perishable foods still need to be refrigerated or frozen.

• Make the opening of plastic bags clean and flat, no foreign objects or folds allowed, otherwise it will cause difficulty or leakage during seal.

• To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently stretch bag flat while inserting into the vacuum chamber and hold it until the pump begins to work.

• When you are vacuum sealing items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware etc.), protect the bag from punctures by wrapping item in soft cushioning material, such as tissue paper, you may need a canister or container instead of a bag.
• When using accessories, remember to leave 2.5CM(1-inch) of space at the top of the canister or container.
• Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for the best results.
• Intervals for 40 seconds after seal or vacuum is recommended.
• If you are unsure whether your bag was sealed properly, just reseal the bag.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Nothing happens when you try to vacuum package:

• Check if the power cord is tightly plugged into the electrical outlet.
• Check if the power cord is damaged.
• Check if the electrical outlet is working by plugging in another appliance.
• Make sure the latches are in the locked position.
• Make sure the bag is placed correctly inside vacuum chamber.
• 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 vacuum:

• Make sure the opening of the bag is placed entirely inside vacuum chamber.
• Examine the bag if it leaks. Seal bag with air, then immerse it in water and apply pressure, bubbles indicate a leak, use a new bag if bubbles appear.
• A wrinkle in the bag along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter, just cut bag and reseal.
• Do not attempt to make your own side seams since the bags are manufactured with special side seams, which are sealed all the way to the outer edge. Making your own side seams may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter.
