Operating Instructions (Continued)
5. Select a vacuum chamber pouch
Select the proper size of vacuum chamber pouch for the product that you are
packaging. Make sure that the mouth of the pouch does not exceed the length of the
seal bar, and make sure the entire pouch fits inside of the chamber. Allow 1” to 2” of
extra headspace at the top of the pouch to ensure a quality, air-tight seal. The
VP115 accepts vacuum chamber pouches up to 10”W x 13”L in size.
6. Fill the pouch and place inside the chamber
Fill the pouch with the product to be vacuum packaged, and place the pouch inside
the chamber. Keep pouches that contain liquids or wet product below the height of
the seal bar. Lay the pouch flat inside the chamber, with the opening of the pouch
across the seal bar. Make sure that the pouch lies flat across the seal bar and is
free of wrinkles.
Note: The entire pouch, including the opening, must remain inside of the chamber.
Using the pouch clip - To keep the pouch in place
during the vacuum cycle, you will want to use
the pouch clip accessory at the front of the
chamber. Lift the pouch clip lever up and insert
the open end of the bag inside the clip (as shown
in the picture to the right). Once the pouch is in
position, press the pouch clip lever down firmly.
The pouch clip will keep the pouch in place during
the vacuum and seal process.
Note: Once the vacuum and seal cycle is complete,
lift the pouch clip lever up to remove the pouch.
