Please note
► Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing the bag. Make sure
nothing is leaving on the open area of the bag. Foreign objects or creased bags may
cause difficulty to seal tightly.
► Do not leave too much air inside the bag. Press the bag to allow extra air to escape
from the bag before vacuuming it. Too much air inside the bag increases the vacuum
pump loading and may cause that the motor works insufficient to draw away all the air
out of the bag.
► If the foods you’re sealing have sharp edges, such as bones, spaghetti or shellfish,
pack the edges with kitchen paper to avoid tearing the bag
► Suggest to vacuum seal one bag within 1 minute to let the appliance cool down
enough.
► In order to vacuum seal liquid-based foods, such as soups, casseroles or stew, freeze
them first in a baking pan or tempered dish, vacuum seal them, label and stack them
in your freezer as soon as they are in frozen solid.
► Blanch the vegetables by cooking briefly in boiling water or microwave oven, cool them
down , then vacuum seal them in convenient portions.
► To vacuum seal the foods not frozen, two extra inches are required for bag length to
allow for expansion while freezing. Place the meat or fish on a paper towel and
vacuum seal with the paper towel in the bag, this way will help to absorb moisture from
the foods.
► Before storing the foods such as tortillas, crepes or hamburger, use wax or parchment
paper between them to stack the pieces, this will be easier to remove some of the
food, reseal the rest and immediately replace in the freezer.
► The vacuum sealer can’t be used directly for vacuum sealing canisters or canning jars
17.9 Opening a sealed bag
Cut the bag straight across with scissors or the cutter, just inside the seal.
17.10 Storage

PLEASE NOTE
► Always unplug the appliance from its outlet immediately after using and before
cleaning.
► For the correct storage, please slightly close the cover, do not lock, it will deform the
gaskets and affect the machine function.
