2 inches between the contents and the top of the bag to allow for bag contraction.
2. Open lid and place the open end of the bag down into the vacuum chamber.
How to Vacuum Seal with the Vacuum Bags
The indicator light illuminates during the seal process.
REMARK : When the sealer is used for the first time, the sealing line may not be
complete, this is because the heating bar needs time to reheat, in this case, just try
another time.
5. Once completed the indicator light of seal button will turn off; press the release
buttons on both sides of the machine, it is now safe to take out the newly created bag.
6. The custom sized bag is now ready for vacuum sealing. (After sealing, please check
whether the sealing is complete, without bubbles or gaps, to prevent air from entering
or cannot be vacuumed.)
CAUTION : Make sure you give the appliance time to cool down. Wait at least 20
seconds between seals. Under very heavy usage, appliance will shut off automatically
to prevent overheating. If it does, wait 25 minutes to allow appliance to cool off.

the machine to release the sealed bag.
NOTE: Wet foods refers to food that contains a certain amount of moisture, such as
fresh fish, salmon, shrimp, raw meat etc.Marinate and juicy food please use "pulse”
mode.
Since the pressure under the normal vacuum function is set to be high, sometimes
it is easy to destroy some delicate items by high pressure in the vacuum bags. In
this case, you can use the ’’PULSE’’ vacuum function to control the vacuum time
and pressure, and prevent crushing delicate items. When sealing marinate food,
please select "pulse" mode to control the vacuum strength by manual vacuuming to
prevent excess liquid from being sucked into the machine.

5. Vacuum Sealing Guidelines
Try pre-freezing meats and fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging. This helps
retain the juice and shape, and provides for a better seal.
If you can’t, place a folded paper towel between the food and top of the bag, but below
seal area. Leave paper towel in bag to absorb excess moisture and juices during vacuum
packaging process.
Food Storage & Safety
Food Preparation Hints and Tips for Air-tight Vacuum Sealing
Preparation Hints for Meat and Fish :
Vacuum package cheese after each use. If you make your bag just a little longer than
needed, you can re-seal the bag after each use.
IMPORTANT : Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, soft cheeses should never be
vacuum packaged.
Preparation Hints for Cheeses :
IMPORTANT : 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.
For the best results in extending the life of foods, it is important to vacuum package
foods that are fresh. Once food has begun to deteriorate, vacuum packaging may only
slow the deterioration process. Vacuum sealing cannot prevent the growth of mold.
Other disease causing microorganisms can still grow in low oxygen environments and
may require further measures to be eliminated.
Cooking, Thawing and Reheating – You can also reheat foods in the vacuum bags by
placing them in water at a low simmer below 170°F (75°C). Simmering in a vacuum bag
helps food retain its flavor and it helps with the clean up as well. No dirty sauce-
pans.When reheating foods in the microwave using your vacuum bags, always
puncture open the bag to allow hot air to escape.
IMPORTANT : Always thaw foods in either refrigerator or microwave – do not thaw
perishable foods at room temperature.
8
Blanching is a process that should be done before vacuum packaging vegetables. This
process stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of flavor, color and texture. To
blanch vegetables, place them in Simmering water or in a microwave until they are
cooked, but still crisp. Blanching times can range from 1 to 2 minutes for leafy greens
and peas ; 3 to 4 minutes for snap peas, sliced zucchini or broccoli ; give your carrots
about 5 minutes ; and 7 to 11 minutes for corn on the cob. After blanching, immerse
vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking process.
NOTE : All vegetables (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale,
turnips) naturally emit gases, during storage. Therefore, after blanching, it’s best if
they’re stored in the freezer.
Preparation Guidelines for Vegetables :
Vegetables are a great candidate for meal preperation when storing vegetables, try
pre-freezing them for 1 to 2 hours, then separate them into meal portions within your
vacuum bags. After they have been vacuum packaged, return them to the freezer.
IMPORTANT : Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, fresh mushrooms, onions & garlic
should never be vacuum packaged.
More on Vegetables :
When vacuum packaging powdery items like flour, it’s best to use their original packag-
ing inside of the vacuum bags. The fine powder could get sucked into the machine and
cause enough damage to shorten the life of the sealer.
Preparation Hints for Powdery Foods :
Before you vacuum package liquid such as soup stock, pre-freeze in a casserole dish,
loaf pan or ice cube tray until solid. Remove frozen liquid from pan and vacuum package
in the vacuum bags. You can then stack in the freezer. When you’re ready to use, just cut
a corner of the bag and place in either a microwave safe dish or drop into water at a low
simmer, below 170°F (75°C).
Preparation Hints for Liquids :

reenter the bag. Carefully cut the bag open and double re-seal it , or use an entirely new
bag.
Make sure there is no liquid from the food present within.
Make sure there are no food items with sharp edges that may have punctured the
bag. If you find a puncture hole, seal the item in an entirely new bag.
Moisture of foods with high liquid content will prevent the bag from sealing properly.
Cut bag open,pour off excess liquid, wipe the bag mouth and reseal.Or use "pulse"
mode to manually control liquid from being sucked into the vacuum chamber.
Don’t put too much food, try leaving your bag 1/2 inch longer on each end and
double seal
Do not seal foods that are prone to fermentation and photosynthesis, such as soft
cheese, fresh mushrooms, onions, and garlic.
