Vacuum canning set - hand pump and caps 9 pcs. VAKS-82BM

This set is designed for vacuum canning of products, which allows you to significantly extend their freshness compared to traditional storage methods. Air is sucked out of the container, reducing the amount of oxygen, which in turn slows down oxidation processes and product spoilage.

Vacuum caps with a pump make the canning process easier and more efficient, extending the shelf life of products.

Recommended uses for vacuum caps:

- For preserving vegetables, fruits, berries and juices

- For preserving the natural taste and aroma of food

- For protecting dried fruits from insects

- For storing bulk products, such as grains, flour, spices, tea or coffee

- For products with a strong smell or that easily absorb foreign odors

- For storing technical liquids and products that dry out in contact with air (e.g. paints, glues)

Set contents:

• Nine caps, suitable for sealing regular and screw jars with an 82 mm neck

• One NVR hand vacuum pump, providing a vacuum of up to 90%

Instructions for use:

1) Make sure that the jar is free of cracks, especially in the neck area. Jars with defects should not be used.

2) Insert the sealing rubber tightly into the groove of the lid.

3) Place the cap on the neck of the jar.

4) Insert the pump firmly into the recess in the cap.

5) To create a vacuum, move the pump handle up and down all the way. For canning, 5-6 pressures are enough, for storage - 15-20. The more pressure, the deeper the vacuum. When the pump begins to fall rapidly on its own and hit the lid, pumping should be stopped.

6) To open the jar, lift the edge of the lid valve with your finger - air will flow into the jar with a noise, and the lid will open easily. Do not use metal or sharp objects so as not to damage the valve.

7) The pump should be washed with warm or hot water when it becomes dirty, as well as after each use. Unscrew the nut and remove the piston from the cylinder. After washing, lubricate the seal with Vaseline.

8) Lids should also be washed regularly. Do not use sharp objects to remove the rubber seal. The valve can be easily removed by pressing with your finger.

9) If the piston moves with difficulty, disassemble the pump, thoroughly wash the cylinder and seal, then lubricate with Vaseline.

10) During long-term storage, the seal may become hard and lose elasticity. It is recommended to keep it in boiling water for a few minutes. If this does not help, replace it.

11) To check the tightness of the system, pour tap water into the jar, leaving 3-4 cm to the edge, put on the lid and pump out the air. Turn the jar upside down. If air bubbles are visible under the valve, the lid is not suitable for use.
