IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:The Vacuum Sealer is equipped with
a two-prong polarized power cord. Connect the
appliance only to earthed (grounded) power sockets.
Do not use appliance with a grounding adapter.
Contact a qualified electrician if the plug does not fit
into the electrical outlet you intend on using.
WARNING: Be careful not to touch or come in
contact with the Seal Bar when the Vacuum
Compartment Lid is open as it may be hot.
Never press the Seal button when the Vacuum
Compartment Lid is open as this will apply heating
power to the Seal Wire and can present a burning
hazard.
WARNING: Vacuum packaging is not a substitute
for refrigeration or freezing. Any perishable foods
that require refrigeration must still be refrigerated or
frozen after vacuum packaging. Vacuum packaging is
not a substitute for canning.
!
WARNING: Never vacuum package garlic or fungi
(such as mushrooms). A dangerous chemical
reaction takes place when air is removed, causing
these foods to be dangerous if ingested.
!
WARNING: As with any storage container, it is
important to inspect food that has been vacuum
packaged for spoilage prior to consumption.
!
It is important to note that vacuum packaging cannot reverse the
deterioration of foods; it can only slow down changes in quality. It is
difficult to predict how long foods will retain their flavor, appearance
or texture since it depends on the age and condition of the food
when it was vacuum packaged.

6. Remove the bag and check for proper seal.
1. Pull out a length of roll sized to fit the item you wish to
vacuum package. Be sure to allow for at least 1.75 inch (4.5
cm) of space at the top and the bottom of the food item.
2. Cut the roll to size.
3. Place the open end of the roll across the Seal Wire in the
Vacuum Compartment, making sure the Seal Wire spans the
entire width of the roll.
Making a Heat-Seal Bag from a Roll
CAUTION: When making heat-seal bags from a roll,
we recommend that you allow at least 20 seconds
between each seal. When the unit is used for an
extended period of time without allowing sufficient
time between sealing, it may overheat and shut
down. See Troubleshooting for more information.
!
Note: A positive seal will look “clear” upon inspection.
If the seal is spotty, incomplete, wrinkled, white or
milky, cut the seal and restart the sealing process.
!
4. Close the Vacuum Chamber Lid.
5. Press Seal. The vacuum pump will turn “On”, pulling the Lid
tight against the Seal Wire. Vacuum will release when the
sealing process is complete.
