HINTS FOR BEST VACUUMING PERFORMANCE
Ⅵ.CORD STORAGE BOX
1. Put the power cord into the storage box when not use the machine which is in the
back of the machine. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance.
1.Do not put too much stu inside the bag: leave enough empty space in the open
end of the bag so that the bag can be placed in the vacuum chamber area without
creating wrinkles or ripples;
2.Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags will cause diculty to heat-seal
tightly. If the food has moisture, or the bag is wet, you can choose the 'Moist'
function which is designed for a longer sealing time and seals better for wet bags.
3.Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing. Make sure nothing is
left on the open area of the bag, no wrinkle or creased lines should appear on the
open panel, foreign objects or creased bag may cause dicult to seal tightly.
4.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 the motor insucient power to draw away all the air
inside the bag.
5.Do not vacuum packaging objects with sharp points like sh bones and hard shells!
Sharp points may penetrate and tear the bag! You may want to use a container
instead of a bag to store such stu.
6.Suggest to vacuum seal one bag within 1 minute, to let the appliance resume
enough.
7.If it’s not reach the required vacuum for some unknowable reason, the vacuum
system will shut automatically after 60 seconds, in this
situation, please check if the bag is leak, or not placed properly or any other
reasons.
8.Make sure there is no crack or deformation, or small paicles resting on the foam
gaskets around the vacuum chamber. When this happens, take it out and wash and
d it thoroughly, or replace with a new one.
9.During bag vacuum packaging process, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food
paicles can be inadveently pull into the vacuum chamber, clogging the pump and
damaging your appliance. To avoid this, freeze moist and juicy foods rst before
sealing bags or place a folded paper towel near the inside top of the bag. For
powde or ne-grained foods, avoid oveilling bags. You may also place a coee
lter inside before vacuum packaging.
12
10.Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum packaging for best results.
11.Liquids need to be cooled before vacuum packing. Hot liquids will bubble up and
over the top of the jar when vacuum packed. Note: A jar attachment is necessa for
sealing jars.
12.Store perishable foods in the freezer or refrigerator. Vacuum packing extend the
shelf life of foods, but do not presee them.
13.Fill a bag about 2/3 full with water, seal the end (don't vacuum). Freeze the bag
and use for ice in the cooler, or ice packs for spos injuries.
14.Many foods are sold pre-packed in commercial vacuum bags such as cheese and
deli meats. Now, you can maintain the taste and freshness of these foods, by
re-packaging with the vacuum sealer bags after the commercially packed bags have
been opened.
15.Panty items such as our, rice, mixed for cakes and pancakes, all stay fresher
longer when vacuum packed. Nuts and condiments maintain their avor while
rancidity is kept out.
16.For objects with sharp points and edges, such as bones or dried pasta, pad the
edges with paper towels to keep them from puncturing the bag.
17.There are many non-food uses for vacuum packing. Keep camping supplies such
as matches, rst aid kits and clothing, clean and d. Keep ares for auto emergen-
cies ready. Keep silver and collectibles untarnished. 1. The main function of this
appliance is to store a wide kind of foods for freshness, longer, avor and conve-
nience. In general, vacuum packaging keeps food fresh up to three times as long as
other traditional food storage methods. Once this appliance as an indispensable pa
of your life, it will less food spoilage and save more money.
a)Cook in advance to vacuum seal and store individual poions or entire meals. This
vacuum bag is not recommended for microwave or boil-in-bag cooking, please use
the general cooking method to re-heat the vacuum-sealed foods.
b)Prepare foods in advance for picnics and camping trips or barbecues.
c)Eliminate freezer burn.
d)Package foods, such as meat, sh, poult, seafood and vegetables to freeze or
refrigerate.
e)Package d foods, such as beans, nuts, and cereals to store longer.
