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.

4. Inspect the pouch When the lid opens, remove and inspect the pouch.
Vacuum conrmation - 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 conrmation – 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.

Tips & Suggestions for Program Settings
• 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.

VP545 Troubleshooting
VP545 will not turn on -
Make sure the machine is properly plugged into a grounded outlet.
h
Check the power cord for tears and frays. Do not use this machine if the
h
power cord is damaged.
Make sure the power switch is turned on. The LED screen will be
h
illuminated when on.
If you see ‘F1’ displayed on the LED screen and the machine will not
h
function, make sure the lid is open and turn the power off. Turn the machine back on and it should return to working order.
VP545 does not pull a complete vacuum with pouch -
The vacuum time may not be set high enough. Set the vacuum time
h
higher and vacuum again.
To vacuum and seal properly, the opening of the pouch must be within
h
the vacuum chamber. For detailed instructions, refer to “How To Use the
VacMaster® VP545 Chamber Vacuum Sealer”.
The seal bar, lid gasket and vacuum pouch need to be clean, dry and free
h
of debris for the vacuum process to be successful. Wipe surface of the seal bar, lid gasket and the inside of the pouch and try again.
Vacuum pouch loses vacuum after being sealed -
Sharp items can poke small holes in pouches. To prevent this, cover sharp
h
edges with VacMaster® Bone Guard and vacuum in a new pouch.
Some fruits and vegetables can release gases (out gassing) if not
h
properly blanched or frozen before packaging. Open the pouch. If you think food spoilage has begun, discard the food. If food spoilage has not yet begun, consume immediately. If in doubt, discard the food.
VP545 is not sealing pouch properly -
The seal time may not be long enough. Increase the seal time and try
h
again.
Pouches will not seal if any moisture, food particles or debris are present
h
in the seal area. Wipe the inside of the pouch clean and try again.
h
Pouches must be properly placed along the seal bar. Make sure the
entire pouch is over the seal bar and there are no wrinkles in the pouch material.
NOTE:
all the way into the green. You may have to increase the vacuum time by 5-10 seconds in higher elevation.
High elevation may cause the gauge to not go

VP545 Vacuum Packaging Guidelines
Follow all food safety regulations as outlined by the FDA at
h
www.FDA.gov.
Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for canning. All perishables
h
still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
Vacuum packaging cannot reverse the deterioration of foods.
h
Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing.
h
Some fruits and vegetables may release gases, known as outgassing.
h
When packaging these fruits and vegetables, outgassing can cause the vacuum to be gradually lost over time. Blanching or freezing before vacuum packaging helps prevent this from occurring.
NOTE: Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, soft cheeses,
fresh mushrooms, garlic and onions should never be vacuum packaged.
NOTE: Beef and other proteins may look darker after being
vacuum packaged. This is due to the removal of oxygen and is not an indication of spoilage.
It is critical that food handling and storage are maintained at low
h
temperatures. You can reduce the growth of microorganisms at temperatures of 34ºF or less. Freezing at 0ºF will not kill microorganisms, but reduces the chances of them growing. For long-term food storage, always freeze foods that have been vacuumed packaged.
Delicate foods can be frozen prior to packaging to protect them
h
from getting crushed by the vacuum.
Use VacMaster® Bone Guards to cover an item’s sharp edges to
h
prevent pouch punctures.
Allow foods and liquids to cool to room temperature before vacuum
h
packaging.
