VP230 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 ‘F1’ 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.

VP230 does not pull a complete vacuum with pouch -

 

The vacuum time may not be set high enough. Set the vacuum time 

higher and vacuum again.

 

To vacuum and seal properly, the opening of the pouch must be within 

the vacuum chamber.  For detailed instructions, refer to

.

 

The seal bar, lid gasket and vacuum pouch need to be clean, dry and 

free of debris for the vacuum process to be successful. Wipe surface 

of the seal bar, lid gasket and the inside of the pouch and try again.

Vacuum pouch loses vacuum after being sealed -

 

Sharp items can poke small holes in pouches. To prevent this, cover 

sharp edges with VacMaster

"

 Bone Guard and vacuum in a new pouch.

 

Some fruits and vegetables can release gases (outgassing) if not 

properly blanched or frozen before packaging. Open the pouch. If you 

think food spoilage has begun, discard the food. If food spoilage has 

not yet begun, consume immediately. If in doubt, discard the food.

High elevation may cause the gauge to not go all the way green. 

VP230 is not sealing pouch properly -

 

The seal time may not be long enough. Increase the seal time and try 

again.  

 

Pouches will not seal if any moisture, food particles or debris are 

present in the seal area. Wipe the inside of the pouch clean and  

try again.

 

Pouches must be properly placed along the seal bar. Make sure the 

entire pouch is over the seal bar and there are no wrinkles in the  

pouch material.
