Please note
► 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.
Cut the bag straight across with scissors or the cutter, just
inside the seal.
You can reseal many foods in their original store packages
(e.g. potato chip bags). Follow the steps shown in Chapter
Vacuuming and sealing.
PLEASE NOTE
► The vacuum sealer can't be used directly for vacuum sealing
canisters or canning jars.
