You are about to use one of the most powerful vacuum sealers available.
With the help of the VP545, you will now be able to keep food fresh for
longer, deliver consistent portion control, and streamline your operations
with programmable seal and vacuum time settings.
The VP545 is a chamber vacuum system, which offers two distinct
advantages over non-chamber, external suction units. First, a much
higher level of vacuum can be achieved, which means a longer shelf life
for foods that you package. Secondly, liquids and liquid-rich foods can be
marinated vegetables are packaged quickly with ease and no mess. The
VacMaster® VP545 is perfect for storage, cook chill, portion control, sous vide,
processing game and more.

6.
when bolt is removed. Place
catch cup underneath before
removing drain bolt.
7. Capture oil from pump. When
oil is completely drained,
replace and tighten bolt.
(Dispose of old oil properly,
according to your local and
state regulations.)
8. Follow the "Adding Oil to
Vacuum Pump" instructions at
beginning of manual. Do not
use machine until oil has been
added.
Vacuum Pump Maintenance
The VP545 vacuum pump requires periodic oil changes.
Required oil change schedule:
▫ First oil change: 1 week after use.
▫ Future oil changes: every 3 months or 250 cycles.
Using pump site glass, check the oil level and color frequently.
▫ Oil must remain between
▫ With use, the pump oil will become cloudy, dark or
even "milky". Once oil becomes discolored, change oil
replacing with new VacMaster® vacuum oil.

Set Up - Powering up the VP545
1. Attach the power cord and plug the machine into a
grounded electrical outlet - Properly insert the electrical
cord into the power outlet on the back of the machine
and then plug the cord into the wall outlet.
2. Open the machine lid - Release the lid lock, located on
the right side of the machine, and allow the lid to lift and
remain open.
3. Do not stand over the lid
IMPORTANT: DO NOT turn the machine on until the lid
lock has been released, The lid lock feature is used ONLY
to keep the lid closed while the machine is in storage.
4. To power ON press "I" on the
power switch.
5. To power OFF, press "O" on the
power switch.
Set Up - Adjusting the VP545 Timing Controls
NOTE: All timing adjustments must be
made with the lid lock off and the lid open.
To adjust/set the timing controls, press the SET button on the control panel
until the required label (Vacuum, Sealing or Cooling) is illuminated. For
each selection, the current time setting will show on the LED Screen. All
time settings are displayed in seconds. For initial testing, the time settings
should be:
Vacuum Time - 40 seconds
Sealing Time - 1.2 seconds
Cooling Time - 2.2 seconds
Gas Flush - 0.1 second
To change settings, see instructions for each control on page 7.

VP545 How to Use
Set Up - Adjusting the VP545 Timing Controls
Vacuum Time: To increase or decrease the vacuum time, press the
SET button until VACUUM is illuminated and then use the UP/DOWN
buttons to adjust the vacuum time accordingly. The time setting will
display on the LED Screen on the control panel.
NOTE: Filler plates can be used to reduce the vacuum time required.
Place the ller plates inside the chamber as desired. Filler plates
occupy space, leaving less air to be removed from the chamber. If
you require more space inside the chamber, remove the ller plates
to accommodate your product.
Sealing Time: To increase or decrease the sealing time, press the
SET button until SEALING is illuminated and then use the UP/DOWN
buttons to adjust the sealing time to accommodate your application. It
is recommended that you make adjustments in 0.2 second increments
to avoid melting the pouch.
NOTE: For thicker pouches, increase the seal time in 0.2 second
increments until the pouch seals completely. In addition, for thinner
pouches, decrease the seal time in 0.2 second increments to avoid
over-sealing the pouch.
Cooling Time: To increase or decrease the cooling time, press the
SET button until COOLING is illuminated and then use the UP/DOWN
buttons to adjust the cooling time accordingly.
NOTE: The VP545 settings will always default to the most recently
used settings on the machine.
TIP: To prolong the life of your seal bar, set the cooling
time to twice the sealing time.
NOTE: After setting the timing controls, press the SET button until
the function lights on the Control Panel are no longer illuminated.
The machine will not start until all function lights are off.
1. 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
of extra headspace at the top of the pouch to ensure a quality,
air-tight seal. The VP545 accepts vacuum chamber pouches

2. 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
chamber, with the opening of the pouch across the seal bar. Make sure
Note: The entire pouch, including the opening, must remain inside the
chamber.
3. Close the machine lid to vacuum and seal
gauge begins to move.
4. Inspect the pouch
When the lid opens, remove and inspect the pouch.
Vacuum conrmation - Check the quality of the vacuum by looking at
the tightness of the pouch and the product. Look for air pockets or air
leaks. If you notice that the product is not vacuum packaged tightly, then
increase the vacuum time by 5 seconds, vacuum and seal again.
Seal conrmation – Inspect the pouch seal. A positive seal will appear
clear upon inspection. If the seal is spotty or incomplete, increase the seal
time by 0.1 second. If the seal appears white or milky, decrease the seal
time by 0.1 second. Once the settings are determined for your application,
vacuum and seal again. If the product is vacuumed and sealed tightly,
then the process is complete.

Programmable Vacuum Cycle Instructions
This VacMaster chamber vacuum sealer is now equipped with a
new feature that allows you to program and store up to 10 different
seal cycle settings. Changing from liquids to solids to delicate
items has never been easier to get that perfect amount of vacuum
and a double seal for an additional layer of protection.
Also included is an oil change alert that, after 250 uses, reminds
you to change the oil. This reminder is intended to keep your
machine in tip-top shape. As a rule of thumb change your oil at the
CO Code - This stands for change oil.
Once complete, press "Set" " Up" "Down" (all 3) at the same time for

• The vacuum time can be adjusted to your desired length.
• Suggested vacuum time should be set to
• 18-20 for liquids/powders.
• 35-40 is a good starting point for other products.
All settings are for 3 mil bags. The seal time and cool down time should only
be changed if you move up in thickness of bags. For different thickness
bags, increase both seal and cool down times by .2 seconds
at a time until you get a good seal.

Gas Flush System
Products which would be damaged by high pressure must be
subjected to a lower vacuum or the pressure must be counterbalanced
with a mixture of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen to extend shelf life and
when packaging items that shouldn’t be compressed. This includes
but is not limited to soft fruits, dried foods, chips, pasta, and precooked meals. By adding a mixture of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen,
the food will stay fresh longer while keeping its original shape.
How to Use: Consult your local authorized gas supplier for assistance
in buying, regulating, and connecting the gas to the machine.
Gas Fill Operating Instructions: Connect the required gas cylinder
(complete with regulator), to the machine by hose. The Regulator may
never be set more than atmosphere pressure, approximately 14 psi.
