Please note
► Do not put too much food inside the bag; leave enough empty length in the open end of
the bag so that the bag can be placed in the vacuuming plate more positively.
► Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may be difficult to seal tightly.
► 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 preservation system can’t be directly used for the vacuum sealing of
canisters or canning jars.
