CONSUMABLES
• Oil - oil for the vacuum pump should be replaced
at least once every 6 months. We recommend
Victor Vacuum Oil available for purchase from the
manufacturer or distributor.

so may cause damage to the sealing bar. Teflon
bars may be purchased from the manufacturer
or distributor.
7. VACUUM PACKING PROCESS DESCRIPTION
1. Connect the machine to power source.
2. Flip the blue switch at the back of the machine
upwards.
3. Turn the machine using the “ON” button - “- -”
will light up on TIME(S) display. (for a dozen or
so seconds up to a few minutes). Changing of
settings will be impossible then.
4. Press SET button (parameter selection) - “VACU-
UM” LED will light up. Set the desired vacuum
value by pressing “+” button to increase or “-” to
decrease vacuum level. Time range is 0-99 sec-
onds. The result will shown on TIME(S) display.
5. Press SET button again (change to another
parameter) - “SEALING” LED will light up to
indicate sealing time. Set the desired value by
pressing “+” to increase or ”-” to decrease seal-
ing time. Time range is 0-3.5 seconds. Sealing
time should be gradually increased.
6. Press SET button again (change to another
parameter) - “COOLING” LED will light up to
indicate cooling level. Set the desired value by
pressing “+” to increase or ”-” to decrease cool-
ing time. Time range is 0-9.9 seconds.
7. Press SET button again - parameter LEDs will
switch off.
8. Press SEALING TEMP button repeatedly to set
the sealing power. Each press will switch on bag
sealing power LEDs (HIGH, MIDDLE, LOW). De-
pending on bag thickness, proper sealing power
will be used. The thicker the bag, the higher the
power.
9. Insert the bag in machine’s chamber. Make sure
that the whole length of the bag is placed on the
sealing bar and that the bag is not folded along
the seam.
10.Press the bag onto the sealing bar using a met-
al clamp.
11.Close the upper cover of the machine and hold
for a while. The machine will start working au-
tomatically. The cover will be sealed shut.
12. During operation the chamber will generate vacu-
um which will prevent accidental opening of the
cover.
All processes are carried out in the state of vac-

9
EN
uum, the display and timer show the current
process (time remaining to generate full vacu-
um, sealing time and then cooling time). During
operation “WORKING” LEDs will switch on.
13.After completion the cover will automatically be
raised and “Ed” message will be displayed.
14.After completion of the cycle, the chamber is
filled with air, the cover opens automatically
and “Ed” is displayed. The cover will not open
automatically if a locking clamp is used. Unlock
the clamp to open the cover.
15.To continue working at the same parameters,
close the machine’s cover after inserting anoth-
er bag.
16.After completion of work turn the machine off
with the “OFF” switch, flip the blue switch at the
back of the machine downwards and disconnect
power cable from the mains.
NOTE: never obstruct air flow vent in the chamber.
NOTE: In an emergency press “STOP” to stop the
vacuum packaging process. The chamber will be
filled with air thus completing the process, the cov-
er will open after the process is completed. The
cover will not open automatically if a locking clamp
is used. Unlock the clamp to open the cover.
NOTE: in models 975251, 975268, 975275 the
GAS” parameter/function is not active.
NOTE
• Do not turn the machine on without any bag
inside. Doing so will accelerate the wear of the
heating element.
• Turn the machine off and disconnect the power
cable if the machine will not be used for some
time.
• The vacuum gauge/meter reading may be differ-
ent in different areas. At high altitudes, the data
in vacuum meter goes down.
• Do not use vacuum bags that emit poisonous va-
pours while sealing – use dedicated Victor Vac-
uum Bags.
• The machine must be transported in a horizontal
position.
• The transport must proceed strictly according to
the instructing marks on the shipping case.
• The machine should be stored in dry, ventilated
place and room temperature.
• Please be careful during the automatic opening
of the acrylic cover to avoid being hit.
• Please do not try to make any repairs without
consulting professional service first.

chine or recommended by the manufacturer.
8. FAQ – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Question: How much longer will my products last?
Answer: Typically shelf life of vacuum packed prod-
ucts may be extended three to five times. It depends,
however, on the type of product, earlier handling,
storage temperature, conditions before and after
packing etc.
Question: What are the advantages of vacuum
packaging my products?
Answer: There are many advantages of vacuum
packing, e.g. longer shelf life, no changes to the
product, no weight loss resulting from evapora-
tion, easy labelling (date, weight, best before date,
purpose), considerable reduction of aerobic bac-
teria, easier storage and control of products, re-
duced costs thanks to longer storage, possibility
of storing large quantities, excellent appearance
of the vacuum packed product, better protection
against contamination, easier transport of the
product, better appreciation of product quality by
customers and consumers.
Question: How does sealing temperature affect
the sealing of bag?
Answer: Setting sealing temperature (HIGH, MID-
DLE, LOW) is related to the sealing function, there-
fore if the sealing level is low (1-2 seconds), then
temperature should be set at middle/high level
and if the sealing parameter is high (more than 3-4
seconds), then the temperature setting should be
middle/low. In each case please test the setting on
a bag.

10
EN
Question: How to select proper vacuum time for
a specific bag and product size?
Answer: The smaller the product is, the longer vacu-
um generation time should be set.
Usually 30 seconds is enough to properly pack a 300
g product in a small bag (16/23 cm). Moreover, it
is not always necessary to generate high vacuum,
if you want to pack a product without generating
high vacuum, a dozen or so or even a few seconds
of vacuum time will suffice. You should always test
your settings and repack the product if necessary.
Question: Can I vacuum–pack liquids/sauces?
Answer: Yes, you can vacuum-pack liquids and sauces.
Question: Can I crop the bag to adjust it to a small
product?
Answer: Yes, you can cut off the open edge of the
bag with scissors or a knife.
Question: If I vacuum package my food products,
will I still need to refrigerate them?
Answer: Yes, vacuum packaging is not a substitute
to refrigeration.
Question: Do I need to heat the machine up before
turning it on?
Answer: In temperature of 18-24°C,
the machine needs max. 3 min after switching on
to be ready for work. If the ambient temperature is
below 18°C, we recommend starting the machine
up 7 minutes after it has been turned on and set-
ting the sealing time at 0 seconds to properly dis-
tribute oil.
Question: What products can be vacuum-packed?
Answer: You can vacuum pack products that are
resistant to vacuum, i.e. any food products, metal
elements, clothing, money etc.
Question: What type of bags should I use for vac-
uum-packing?
Answer: We recommend Victor Vacuum Bags
which are dedicated for our machines. Please con-
tact your distributor or our company.
Question: How often should I replace or replenish
oil?
Answer: Oil should be replaced, i.e. drained after
it turns dark brown (dirty) colour or at least once
every 6 months. Before starting the machine, it is
necessary to fill half of container with oil and then
keep this level by replenishing oil (please check oil
level every month). Oil is delivered with the ma-
chine. We recommend Victor Vacuum Oil.
Question: How often do I need to replace the seal-
ing bar?
Answer: The sealing bar should be replaced after
approx. 180 hours of sealing bags, i.e. approx. after
sealing 200,000 bags, assuming that the sealing
operation was correct (the bag was placed with its
open edge on the bar, the machine was not used
without any bag and the sealing time was not very
long). A worn bar changes its colour to black or
has visible gaps. Spare parts are delivered with the
packing machine. Picture instruction below.
1. Disconnect the cable from the pin, then pick the entire sealing bar from the vacuum chamber.
