Status manual vacuum pump

A hand vacuum pump is an essential tool for creating a vacuum in:

• Status vacuum containers,
• vacuum jug Status,
• glass bottles, closed with vacuum caps Status and
• other packaging, closed with universal vacuum lids Status.

How is a vacuum created?

A vacuum is a space without air. You create it by sucking the air out of the packaging, which is sealed with a special lid with a vacuum valve. The advantage of vacuum storage is that it prevents oxidation, which causes food to spoil. Microorganisms need oxygen to grow and develop. For you, this means that you can extend the shelf life of your food in a completely natural way and without additives, thus reducing the amount of spoiled and wasted food in your household.

Manual vacuum pump: use

Vacuuming with a manual vacuum pump is easy because it does not require batteries or electrical connections. You can vacuum all Status accessories.

• Use a hand-held vacuum pump to vacuum seal a vacuum container in which you have stored fruit and vegetables, flour, coffee, polenta, herbs, ready-made meals or other foods that you want to extend their shelf life and freshness and protect their nutritional value and aroma. Vacuum sealing also prevents the spread of unpleasant odors throughout the refrigerator and kitchen.
• Vacuum protects the enzymes, vitamins and minerals of freshly squeezed juices, milk and other beverages that you prepare at home and store in a vacuum jug. In a jug, vacuum-sealed with a hand-held vacuum pump, the contents are completely safe from spillage during transport.
• Vacuum seal cooked meals in the pot they were cooked in. The hand vacuum pump and universal vacuum lids vacuum seal all types of flat-rimmed containers. This means less dirty dishes for you because you can reheat the meal in the same pot.
• Vacuum caps preserve the quality of an open bottle of wine. Use a manual vacuum pump to remove the air from the half-empty bottle and prevent oxidation. Wine and juice will be full of flavor even after a few days.

Vacuuming slows down but cannot completely prevent food spoilage, so always store food in the refrigerator.

Cleaning and maintenance

The hand vacuum pump does not generally need to be cleaned as it does not come into contact with food. If it accidentally gets dirty, use a damp, soft cloth to wipe it off.

Dishwasher cleaning is not recommended as it may cause difficulty in sliding the inner tube. If difficulty occurs after many years of use, stretch the pump and lubricate the inner tube with paraffin oil.

Materials

The seal on the bottom of the pump is made of silicone, while the other parts are made of high-quality ABS plastic, which guarantees long-term use of the product. Both materials are safe for food.
