1. Introduction

Ensure the VOID Vacuum Lid’s battery is fully charged before first use. This manual provides instructions for safe and effective use of the VOID Vacuum Lid with compatible blenders.

2. Quick Start Guide

Proper Use of VOID Vacuum Lid
Note: Do not pull a vacuum while blending.

  1. Add ingredients to the blender jar, ensuring not to overfill.
  2. Place the VOID lid on the jar, ensuring a proper seal.
  3. Turn on the lid and let it pump to your desired pressure.
  4. Once the vacuum has finished pumping, turn off the lid and blend.
  5. After blending, release the pressure by pulling the red vent tab. The lid cannot be removed without venting.
  6. Remove the lid and enjoy your drink.

3. Detailed Operating Instructions

  1. Load the Jar:
    • Place lightweight/least dense ingredients (e.g., spinach leaves) at the bottom.
    • Add dense ingredients (e.g., ice cubes, frozen fruit) on top.
  2. Attach the Lid:
    • Place the VOID lid on the jar, ensuring it is properly seated and sealed.
    • For easier removal, wet the lid gasket before placing it on the jar.
    • Turn on the lid, press the Nav (>>) button to select the desired preset, and press “Go” until the pumps start running.
  3. Vacuum Process:
    • Wait for the “Ready to Blend” message on the lid’s screen before blending. Blending too early may reduce vacuum effectiveness and damage pumps.
    • Note: The “Ready to Blend” message does not appear in VAC+ mode.
  4. Blend and Vent:
    • After blending, release the vacuum pressure by pulling down on the red vent tab located on the bottom circle of the lid.
    • Carefully pry up a corner of the lid to remove it and serve your blend.

4. Charging Instructions

  1. Plug the USB cable into the included wall power adapter. A blue LED on the USB cable indicates power.
  2. Connect the magnetic end of the USB cable to the metal charging port on the wireless charger.
  3. Place the wireless charger over the lid’s touchpad (above the red vent) with the LED lights facing upward. Magnets will snap the charger into place.
  4. Ensure the charger lies flat against the lid. Adjust side-to-side if needed for proper connection.
  5. Verify the LED indicators:
    • Red Light: Charger is active but not emitting power (lid is ready to charge).
    • Blue Light: Charger is actively emitting power (lid is charging).
  6. Note: The lid cannot be operated while charging.

5. Programming Pressure Presets

  1. From the home menu, hold the “>>” button for 3 seconds to enter the preset menu.
  2. Press “Go” to cycle through Presets A, B, C, and exit the menu.
  3. To adjust a preset:
    • Select the preset by pressing “Go.”
    • Press “>>” to increase pressure by 1 unit.
    • Press “Go” to save and cycle to the next preset or exit.
  4. To determine maximum pressure:
    • Run the lid on an empty jar in VAC+ mode for 60 seconds.
    • Note the pressure reading and subtract 1 for a safe preset value.
  5. Preset Functions:
    • Presets A/B/C automatically maintain programmed pressure, turning pumps on/off and displaying “READY” when complete.
    • VAC+ runs pumps continuously for 5 minutes.
    • Warning: Presets extend lid lifespan by limiting pump runtime and preventing container contents from being sucked into the pumps.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

General Cleaning Tips:

  • VOID lids are not dishwasher safe and must be hand-cleaned.
  • Use only dish soap and water; avoid chemicals.
  • Rinse the lid under running water; do not submerge.

Cleaning Steps:

  1. Regular Cleaning:
    • Remove the lid gasket and clean it.
    • Gently push down on the gasket tabs to expose and rinse the area underneath.
  2. Deep Cleaning:
    • Remove the gasket completely and clean all lid and gasket surfaces.
    • The gasket may be washed in the dishwasher or submerged in soapy water.
  3. Drying:
    • Air dry the gasket and lid separately before reattaching to prevent bacterial growth.

7. Storage Guidelines

  • Store the VOID lid in a cool, dry place.
  • Avoid extreme temperatures (e.g., refrigerators, freezers, or high-heat environments).

8. Safety Warnings and Prohibited Actions

Warnings:

  • Pumping anything besides air will damage the pumps and may require repairs.
  • Overfilling the container or ignoring presets can damage vacuum pumps.

  • Freezing or refrigerating the lid.
  • Exposing the lid to boiling temperatures.
  • Using the jar/lid for long-term or short-term food storage.
