Hints and Tips
■
Boil-in-bag foods retain their flavor, the saucepan
remains cleaner, cooking odors are reduced, and it
saves energy.
■
The vacuum removes the air from the bag, prolonging
storage life, and retaining food color. It also saves
space in the freezer or cupboard.
■
To achieve an efficient seal, ensure that the area to be
sealed is completely clean and dry.
■
Also ensure that there are no creases or wrinkles in
the bag which would prevent a perfect seal.
■
Allow approximately 1

” margin between the food

cooking.

Do not use the vacuum sealer on cling film, as the heat
will melt this type of film.

The white stripe on the bag is for labeling.
■
When packing boiling foods, allow them to cool for
5 minutes before packing.
■
Do not vacuum air when sealing liquids in bags.
■
Remember that seasonings and flavorings alter or
intensify during storage, so reduce the amount of salt,
pepper and spices in dishes to be frozen.
Caring For Your Vacuum Sealer
1. Before attempting any cleaning operation, remove the
plug from the outlet.
2. Simply wipe the sealer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not
immerse in water. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
3. If particles of plastic adhere to the sealing wire, wipe
them off carefully to avoid damage to the wire. It may
help to carry out a sealing operation (closing the lid and
pressing fully down) without a bag in position. This will
heat the wire and soften any plastic adhering to it.
