GUIDELINES FOR VACUUM SEALING
1. IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW FOOD SAFETY GUIDELINES
WHILE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
2. DO NOT overfill the bag; leave enough empty space for The
Pistol Vac to come in contact with the valve.
3. Do not leave too much air inside the bag. Press bag to allow
extra air to escape before closing and vacuum sealing it.
4. Do not vacuum seal objects with sharp points (e.g., fish
bones or hard shells). Sharp points may penetrate and tear
the bags.
5. Do not use vacuum sealer system to store soups or other
liquids.
6. During the sealing process, small amounts of liquids,
crumbs or food particles can inadvertently enter into the
suction cup, clogging the pump and potentially damaging
your appliance. If this happens, immediately release
the trigger and follow the cleaning instructions on
page 8.
To prevent this, follow these tips:
a) For moist and juicy foods such as raw meats:
Seal the bag closed while it is in a vertical position.
b) For powdery or fine-grained foods: avoid overfilling bags.
You can also place a paper towel inside before vacuum
sealing it.
NOTE: Bags are meant for one-time use. This will eliminate the
possibility of contracting a food-borne illness.
