CLOSE THE
LID (CONT.)
If you have set the pump timer correctly, the needle should reach the 28-30 mark and
then “dwell” there, with the pump still running, for 2-3 additional seconds before the
seal bar indicator clicks on.
NOTE:
If the pump stops (on gas flush models 20 and 30 only) and the seal bar
indicator comes on
before
the gauge has steadied, then this indicates that the vacuum
level achieved will be less than optimum. You may want to increase the pump timer
setting to the next level and try again.

On the other hand, if the gauge steadies and the pump continues to run significantly
longer than the 2-3 second dwell, then you can conclude that no higher vacuum level
will be achieved, the machine is just “idling” and that the pump timer can be
decreased slightly for the (faster, more efficient) next cycle.
When the seal bar indicator light comes on the seal bar raises up, pinches the bag shut
and heat seals it. Once sealed, the de-vac valve opens and air reenters the chamber.
Since the inside of the bag is still at vacuum, the atmospheric pressure of the outside
of the bag will collapse it tightly around the product.
The lid will open automatically.
CAUTION! The seal bar will still be hot. DO NOT TOUCH.
REMOVE BAG
Inspect the seal area for leaks. Refrigerate, freeze, or store as appropriate.
QUICK
VACUUM
STOP
CONTROL
Standard on all VACMASTER SVP-20/30/40 models is a quick stop control. The
quick stop feature, used in conjunction with the clear see-through chamber lid, is
highly useful for packaging applications using liquids, especially applications
involving warm sauces or gravies. The benefits of vacuum packaging food sauces
while they are still warm and relatively bacteria free can be meaningful. However,
liquids tend to boil at lower and lower temperatures as the vacuum level around them
increases. Warm gravies, for instance, can boil violently during evacuation to the
point of boiling out of the pouch itself.
Depress the red quick stop button to terminate evacuation at the very moment the
boiling begins. The VACMASTER will immediately stop and heat seal the pouch.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The VACMASTER has been designed with ease of use and low maintenance in
mind. Follow these few points for years of trouble-free operation:
Cleaning
Unplug the VACMASTER.
Use a warm, damp washcloth with dish-washing soap on all components. Clean daily for
best results.
Caution: Do not clean the VACMASTER with abrasive cleansers or solvents. Softer
surfaces such as the lid and base will scratch and discolor.
Maintenance
Pump oil will become cloudy with use. Refer to the recommended oil change schedule
listed in the Leybold pump manual included with your VACMASTER.
Periodically inspect the following items:
•
Black rubber sealing gasket in the lid ● Seal bar tape and wire
•
Silicone seal pad in the lid ● Clear lexan lid
•
Check oil level on a weekly basis
If the lid appears stressed or cracked:
Replace At Once, Do Not Continue To Use The
VACMASTER Until Part Is Replaced.
