1. Select a canister
Select the proper size canister for your application - either the ½ quart (0.47 L) canister
or 2½ quart (2.37 L) marinator.
2. Fill the canister
Fill the canister with the item(s) to be vacuum packaged. Make sure the lid of the canister is
dry and free of food particles and debris. Leave a minimum of 1” (2.5 cm) headspace
between the top of the product and the canister lid – do not overfill.
3. Turn the knob to VACUUM
Turn the knob on the top of the canister to the VACUUM position, and place the lid on top of the
canister. The lid should rest securely on the rim of the canister until the vacuum process begins.
4. Attach the hose
Attach one end of the hose to the accessory port located on
the right side of the VP112 (labeled “A” in the picture to the
right). Attach the opposite end of the hose to the center of the
knob on the canister lid (labeled “B” in the picture to the right).
5. Close the machine lid
Close the VP112 lid with both hands, using the lid lift handles.
6. Vacuum
Press the START button to begin the vacuum process. The machine will count down from
30 seconds to zero and then 5 seconds to zero. Once the vacuum cycle is complete, air will
be released back into the chamber and the machine will give a long beep sound indicating
that the vacuum cycle is complete.

7. Turn the knob to LOCK
Turn the knob on the top of the canister to the LOCK position. Then remove the hose from
the canister lid and the VP112 accessory port. Inspect the canister and tug gently on the
canister lid. If the lid is securely attached, then the vacuum process was successful. Store
the canister in the refrigerator or other appropriate storage location.
To remove the lid, turn the knob on the top of the canister to the OPEN position. This will
release the pressure of the vacuum and allow the lid to be removed.
