Weston AutoFresh Vacuum Dome - Manual (Page 4)

HOW TO USE...
1. Place the food on the
Reversible Food Tray. The flat
surface of the Food Tray (figure
8) is recommended for foods
like cakes or pies. The deep
dish surface of the Food Tray
(figure 9) is recommended for
fruits and small foods.
2. Cover the food with the
Acrylic Dome (figure 10).
3. Be sure that the vent holes
in the Vacuum Cap (figure 11)
are not blocked or obstructed by
the food.
4. Push the “On/Off” Button
down to start the vacuum action
(figure 12).
5. Gently push down on the
Dome down for 10 seconds to
allow the Dome to adhere to the
Food Tray.
6. The AutoFresh Vacuum
Dome removes the air that
is trapped inside the Dome
automatically (figure 13).
7. The AutoFresh Vacuum
Dome has a built in sensor that
monitors the amount of air in
the Dome. When all the air is
removed from the AutoFresh
Vacuum Dome, the vacuum
process will temporarily stop.
8. If air seeps back into the
Dome, the Vacuum Base will
resume removing air out of the
Dome.
9. To turn the AutoFresh
Vacuum Dome off, simply pull
up on the “On/Off” Button until
it snaps into the off position
(figure 15).
10. Wait 20 seconds to release
the vacuum seal of the Dome.
11. Grip the top of the Vacuum
Base while holding down on the
handle of the Food Tray and
gently pull the Dome up and off
of the Food Tray.
The Dome can also be
used directly on any flat,
smooth surface such as
a countertop, without the
Food Tray (figure 14).

FOOD SAFETY & TIPS
. The AutoFresh Vacuum Dome IS NOT a substitute for refrigeration, freezing, canning
or other long-term storage methods such as vacuum sealing.
. All perishable foods that require refrigeration MUST STILL BE REFRIGERATED after
being placed in the AutoFresh Vacuum Dome. The AutoFresh Vacuum Dome is not for
use in the freezer.
. The AutoFresh Vacuum Dome cannot reverse the deterioration process of food. The
AutoFresh Vacuum Dome can only slow down the deterioration by maintaining the foods
quality for longer because of the lack of air in the Dome. The duration period of this process
depends on the age and the condition of the food in the Dome.
. As fruits and vegetable naturally release moisture, it is suggested to remove the Acrylic
Dome and keep the food in open air for 10 minutes per day to allow the excess moisture to
escape.
. Place perishable foods into the AutoFresh Vacuum Dome then place in the refrigerator.
The AutoFresh Vacuum Dome is not for use in the freezer.
. Keep the AutoFresh Vacuum Dome out of direct sunlight. The heat from the sunlight
will affect the food inside the AutoFresh Vacuum Dome.
. Dry foods, such as bread, biscuits or cereals can be stored in the AutoFresh Vacuum
Dome.
. The AutoFresh Vacuum Dome is perfect for marinating foods. The vacuum action helps
to open the pores of the food, allowing marinade to infuse into the food quicker and deeper
thus giving the food a more intense flavor. In just 30 minutes, the food will be completely
marinated. Place the food and the marinade onto the deep dish side of the Food Tray.
Place the Dome onto the Food Tray and press the “On/Off” Button to start the vacuuming
process. Place the AutoFresh Vacuum Dome into the refrigerator while marinating. Be
sure to follow food safety rules as listed by the FDA.
