Your Lava vacuum packing machine is covered by a two-year warranty. This warranty specifically 

excludes breakdown caused by liquid entering the air-pump. It is very important that you are aware 
that allowing liquid to enter the air-pump will cause the machine to breakdown and invalidate your 
warranty.

If you are vacuum packing items which have a high liquid content (soup etc.) then you should use 
acrylic containers rather than bags, as the design of containers prevents liquid from being drawn into 

the machine. All Lava machines are fitted with a liquid trap which prevents liquid from entering the 

pump. However once the liquid trap is full, the liquid has nowhere else to go and will be sucked into 
the pump. If you see liquid being drawn out of the bag and into the machine then you must stop the 
machine immediately and empty out the liquid trap.

The cause of the problem needs to be determined and this is usually “over-packing” something which 

contains a significant amount of liquid. For example, raw meat has a fairly high liquid content and if you 

“over-pack” it, you will squeeze the liquid out of the meat and into the bag which will then be sucked 
into the machine. A new product called Liquid Stop can be used to prevent this problem.

To prevent “over-packing” you can either manually seal the bag before maximum pressure is reached 
or use a variable pressure valve in combination with the pressure gauge and pack at a lower pressure. 

For example -0.3 bar instead of -0.94 bar. This will have some effect on the longevity of the product 

being packed since less air is being removed but it can improve the presentation of softer food items as 
they will be able to keep their shape better.
