Thank you for purchasing the
VacMaster
®
VP321 Chamber Vacuum Sealer.
You are about to use one of the most powerful vacuum sealers available.
With the help of the VP321, 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 VP321 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
effectively vacuum packaged. Foods like fresh meats, sh, soups, stews and
marinated vegetables are packaged quickly with ease and no mess. The
VacMaster
®
VP321 is perfect for storage, cook chill, portion control, sous vide,
processing game and more.
For your safety and protection, carefully read and follow this guide.

Set Up - Adjusting the VP321 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.
Sealing Time: To increase or decrease the sealing time, press the

SET button until COOLING is illuminated and then use the UP/DOWN
buttons to adjust the cooling time accordingly.
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
make sure the entire pouch ts inside the chamber. Allow 3”
of extra headspace at the top of the pouch to ensure a quality,
air-tight seal. The VP321 accepts vacuum chamber pouches up
to 16”W x 18”L in size.
10
VP321 How to Use
TIP: To prolong the life of your seal bar, set the cooling
time to twice the sealing time.
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.
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.
NOTE: The VP321 settings will always default to the most recently
used settings on the machine.
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.

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
product below the height of the seal bar. Lay the pouch at inside the
chamber, with the opening of the pouch across the seal bar. Make sure
that the pouch lies at across the seal bar and is free of wrinkles.
Note: The entire pouch, including the opening, must remain inside the
chamber.
3. Close the machine lid to vacuum and seal
Close the lid and press down rmly for 2-3 seconds or until the vacuum
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.
