Hints for best vacuuming performance
1. Do not put too much stuff 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 difficulty 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 difficult to seal tightly.
4. Do not leave too much air inside the bag. Press the bag to allow extra
- 15 -
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
insufficient power to draw away all the air inside the bag.
5. Do not vacuum packaging objects with sharp points like fish 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 stuff.
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 particles resting on
the foam gaskets around the vacuum chamber. When this happens,
take it out and wash and dry it thoroughly, or replace with a new one.
9. During bag vacuum packaging process, small amounts of liquids,
crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently pull into the vacuum
chamber, clogging the pump and damaging your appliance. To avoid
this, freeze moist and juicy foods first before sealing bags or place a
folded paper towel near the inside top of the bag. For powdery or
fine-grained foods, avoid overfilling bags. You may also place a coffee
filter inside before vacuum packaging.
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 necessary for sealing jars.
12. Store perishable foods in the freezer or refrigerator. Vacuum packing
extend the shelf life of foods, but do not preserve 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 sports 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.
- 16 -
15. Panty items such as flour, rice, mixed for cakes and pancakes, all stay
fresher longer when vacuum packed. Nuts and condiments maintain
their flavor 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, first aid kits and clothing, clean and dry. Keep
flares for auto emergencies ready. Keep silver and collectibles
untarnished. 1. The main function of this appliance is to store a wide
kind of foods for freshness, longer, flavor and convenience. 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 part of your life, it will less food spoilage and save more
money.
a) Cook in advance to vacuum seal and store individual portions 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, fish, poultry, seafood and vegetables
to freeze or refrigerate.
e) Package dry foods, such as beans, nuts, and cereals to store
longer.
18. It’s ideal to prepackage ingredients as well as individual portions for the
health-conscious, such as weight-conscious or those on diets or
nutritional regimes with special requirements.
19. This system can also be used to store and protect other items: valuable
items, such as photos, important documents, stamp collections, book
collections, jewellery, cards, comics etc.; hardware items, such as
screws, nails, studs and bolts; medicines, band-aids and other first-aid
items, etc.

Note:
After finished the vacuum work, please always let the machine
cover open, don’t fasten the cover, it will deform the form gaskets
and affect the machine function.
FOOD STORAGE AND SAFETY INFORMATION
This Vacuum Sealer will change the way you purchase and store foods.
Once you are accustomed to vacuum packing, it will become an
indispensable part of your food preparation. When preparing and vacuum
packing foods using your vacuum sealer, there are certain procedures that
must be followed to ensure food quality and safety. Review this section
carefully for you protection:
1. Chemical reactions in the food to air, temperature, moisture, and enzyme
action, growth of microorganisms or contamination from insects will
cause food spoilage.
2. The main element to cause food to lose nutritive value, texture, flavor,
and overall quality is oxygen in the air. Most micro-organisms growth
relies on air, for it will carry moisture into and out of foods unless they are
protected with moisture-proof packing. Frozen foods being exposed to
freezer air will result in freezer burn.
3. The vacuum seal packing removes up to 90% of the air from the
package. It’s approximately 21% oxygen in the air, so 90% air removal
leaves a 2% to 3% residual oxygen level in vacuum-sealed foods. When
the oxygen level is at or below 5%, as you know, most microorganisms
are inhibited from growth
4. In general, there have three categories microorganisms: mold, yeast and
bacteria, they are present everywhere, but only under certain conditions
they can cause problems.
5. In a low oxygen environment or in the absence of moisture, mold can’t
grow; In moisture, Sugar and a moderate temperature circumstance,
yeast can grow with or without air. Refrigeration will slow the growth of
yeast and freezing stops it completely; Bacteria can grow with or without
- 18 -
air.
6. One of the extremely dangerous type of bacteria is clostridium botulinum,
and they can grow under the right conditions without air: in the
temperature range of 40˚F to 115˚F(4˚to 46˚). Conditions for growth are
foods lacking acid, low oxygen environment and temperatures greater
than 40˚F(4˚c) for extended time.
7. Frozen, dried, high in acid, salt or sugar foods can resistant to botulinum.
Non-acid foods which include meats, seafood, lye-cured olives, poultry,
fish, eggs and mushrooms; low-acid foods which are mostly vegetables;
medium-acid foods include overripe tomatoes, onions, chili peppers, figs
and cucumbers are easy be infected by botulinum;
8. It should be refrigerated for short term and frozen for long-term storage,
for the foods most susceptible to botulinum, and consume immediately
after heating.
9. Some dried foods, such as flour and cereals may contain insect larvae, if
do not vacuum-sealed, larvae may hatch during storage and
contaminate the foods. To prevent weevils and other insects from
hatching, store these foods in vacuum seal package is necessary.
10. Avoid spoilage: foods should be stored at low temperatures, for few of
the microorganisms could growth without air.
11. If Temperatures in the refrigerator greater than 40˚F (4˚C) (especially for
extended periods of time), it will support the growth of harmful
microorganisms, so we should keep the temperature at 40˚F (4˚C) or
below.
12. When the temperature for the freezer is 0˚F (-17˚C) or lower, it’s suitable
for store foods, although freezing does not kill microorganisms, it retards
their growth.
13. The vacuum-sealed storage temperature will affect dried foods: for their
shelf life is extended 3-4 times for every 18˚F (10˚C) drop in temperature.
14. When packaging large volumes of meat, fish, or any food
products, we advise the following:
1. Make sure to properly clean your hands, all utensils and surfaces to
be used for cutting and vacuum packing foods.
- 19 -
2. Once you've packed perishable foods, refrigerate or freeze them
immediately. Don’t leave them sitting at room temperature.
3. Vacuum packing will increase the shelf life of dry foods. Foods that
have high fat content develop rancidity due to oxygen and warm
temperature. Vacuum packaging extends the shelf life of foods such
as nuts, coconut or cereals. Store in a cool, dark place.
4. Vacuum packing will not extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables
such as apples, bananas, potatoes and root vegetables unless
peeled them before vacuum packing.
5. Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage emit gases
when vacuum packed fresh for refrigeration. To prepare these foods
for vacuum packing, blanch and freeze.
GENERAL RULES FOR FOOD SAFETY
Food safety rules are based on scientific study as well as common
sense. The following rules and important food safety and optimal
food storage.
1. Once you have heated, defrosted or un-refrigerated perishable foods,
consume them immediately.
2. After opening canned food or commercially vacuum packed foods,
they can be re-vacuumed packed. Follow the instructions to
refrigerate after opening and store re-vacuumed packages properly.
3. Don't defrost foods in hot water or via other heat sources. It doesn't
matter whether they are vacuum packed or not.
4. Don't consume foods if they are perishable and have been left out at
room temperature for more than a few hours. This is especially
important if they have been prepared with a thick sauce, in a vacuum
package, or in a low oxygen environment.
5. Spread vacuum packages evenly throughout the refrigerator or
freezer to cool down food temperature quickly.
