Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. All perishables still
need to be refrigerated or frozen.
Follow all food safety regulations as outlined by the FDA at
www.FDA.gov.
Use only VacMaster®Vacuum Full Mesh Pouches and accessories.
Some fruits and vegetables may release gases, known as outgassing.
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.
Delicate foods can be frozen prior to packaging to protect them from
getting crushed by the vacuum.
Use VacMaster®Bone Guard to cover an item’s sharp edges to
prevent pouch punctures.
Allow foods to cool before vacuum packaging.
Avoid overfilling the pouch. Leave a minimum of 3” of space between
the contents and the open end of the pouch. This is called head
space. This will prevent spills during the vacuum sealing process.
To prevent wrinkles from forming in the seal, gently stretch the pouch
flat along the seal bar before closing the lid.
VacMaster®pouches are boilable, freezable, and microwavable.
When microwaving, it is important to pierce or make a small cut in the
pouch.
Whether you are a pro or a beginner, here are some good tips to make sure you

Sealing Cycle
Runs for a set time - counting down to zero
Inspect the pouch - When the lid opens, remove and inspect the pouch.
Vacuum confirmation - Check the quality of the vacuum by looking at the tight-
ness 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 and vacuum and seal again.
Seal confirmation - 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.
Set your vacuum sealing time - Starting at 5 set your time on the control
panel. Press start after you make sure everything is secure.

Troubleshooting
PRO275 will not turn on -
Make sure the machine is properly plugged into a grounded outlet.
Check the power cord for tears and frays. Do not use this machine if
the power cord is damaged.
Make sure the power switch is turned on. The LED screen will be
illuminated when on.
Vacuum pouch loses vacuum after being sealed -
Sharp items can poke small holes in pouches. To prevent this, cover
sharp edges with a paper towel or VacMaster®Bone Guard and
vacuum in a new pouch.
Some fruits and vegetables can release gases (out-gassing) if not
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.
PRO275 is not sealing pouch properly -
The seal time may not be long enough. Increase the seal time and
try again.
Pouches will not seal if any moisture, food particles or debris are
present in the seal area. Wipe the inside of the pouch clean and
try again.
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 and half way across the trough.
