PROTECTIVE TAPE

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

VACUUM CHAMBER SEALS

There are two factory-installed Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals on the Vacuum

Sealer. When the Vacuum Lid is closed and downward force applied, they form

an airtight seal so the Vacuum Chamber can be evacuated.

The Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals may wear over time and require replacement.

See the “Service Instructions” section of this manual for information on replacing

the Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals, if necessary.

COOLING FAN

The Vacuum Sealer has an Internal Cooling Fan that runs whenever the

unit is plugged in and turned on. To save energy, turn the unit “OFF”

and unplug the Power Cord when not in use.

THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

The Vacuum Sealer will automatically shut down if it overheats. If this occurs,

turn the unit off and open the Vacuum Lid. Resume normal operation after the

unit cools about 20 minutes.

To help prevent overheating, wait at least 20 seconds between cycles with the

Vacuum Lid open. Avoid touching the Seal Bar Tape. The Seal Bar Tape will

remain hot for a brief period of time after each sealing cycle.

LIMIT SWITCH

The Vacuum Sealer is equipped with a switch to prevent actuation of the Seal

Bar Heating Element in manual mode when the Vacuum Lid is open. When the

Vacuum Lid is closed, heat made by the Seal Bar Heating Element is absorbed

by the vacuum bag and Vacuum Lid Seal.

When the Vacuum Lid is open, there is no means to dissipate the heat and unit

damage may occur.

NOTE: The Vacuum Sealer is ONLY intended to be used with VACUUM BAGS.

For best results, only use the recommended vacuum bags with an embossed or mesh

lining. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS! Any other uses of the Vacuum

Sealer, other than the uses described in this booklet, could potentially damage the

appliance and void the warranty!

Thermal Overload Protection

The vacuum sealer will automatically shut off if it overheats. If this occurs,

unplug the unit and open the vacuum lid. Resume normal operation after the

unit cools or about 20 minutes.

Always allow 20 seconds minimum for cool down between operations.

• This allows the heat-seal bar to cool down.

• Placing a new bag in the unit and closing the lid when the

heat-seal bar is still hot will cause the bag to prematurely melt together

before vacuum seal operation.

w CAUTION

Burn Hazard. Avoid touching the heat-seal bar.

REPLACING THE FUSE

. IMPORTANT NOTE: Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration.

Vacuum packed perishable foods still require refrigeration.

. NEVER thaw frozen foods at room temperature. Thaw frozen foods in a

refrigerator or microwave oven.

. In general, the colder the temperature at which foods are stored, the longer the

shelf life.

. Handle vacuum sealer bags with care. Avoid damaging them. A damaged bag

will not hold a seal.

. Only use information in the following chart as a guideline! Refer to the “Vacuum

Packaging Guidelines” and “Food Safety” sections of this manual. Actual storage

life spans may vary. Check all food for spoilage before use.

STORAGE LIFESPAN GUIDELINES

FOOD STORAGE NORMAL VACUUM

TYPE LOCATION LIFE PACKED

LIFE

LARGE CUTS OF MEAT Freezer 6 months 2-3 years

GROUND MEAT Freezer 4 months 1 year

FISH Freezer 6 months 2 years

For best results, freeze meats & sh for 1-2 hours before vacuum packing to help prevent moisture

and juices from interfering with the seal of the vacuum bag.

COFFEE BEANS Room temperature 4 weeks 16 months

COFFEE BEANS Freezer 6-9 months 2-3 years

FLOUR, RICE, SUGAR Room Temperature 6 months 1-2 years

For best results, powder or grainy substances should be kept in their original container or bag, then placed in a

vacuum bag for sealing to prevent interfering with the seal of the vacuum bag.

BERRIES strawberries, raspberries, blackberries Refrigerator 1-3 days 1 week

BERRIES cranberries, huckleberries, blueberries Refrigerator 3-6 days 2 weeks

To prevent berries from being crushed by the vacuum sealer, it is best to freeze item before packing. Spread the berries out on a

cookie sheet to allow them to freeze individually. Berries frozen in a large block will be difcult to vacuum seal due to the

many small air pockets that would form between the berries.

CHEESE Refrigerator 1-2 weeks 4-8 months

If vacuum packed cheese is used often, make sure the vacuum bag is long enough to allow for repeated sealing. For shredded

cheese, place a paper towel inside the vacuum bag, on top of the cheese to prevent the cheese from being

sucked into the Vacuum Sealer or interfering with the sealing of the bag.

COOKIES, CRACKERS, BREADS with periodical opening Room Temperature 1-2 weeks 3-6 weeks

Freeze soft airy foods for 1-2 hours prior vacuum packing, to retain shape & texture.

PASTA, GRAINS, DRIED BEANS Room Temperature 6 months 1-1/2 years

NUTS Room Temperature 6 months 2 years

Dried foods with sharp edges should be wrapped in a paper towel or other matter to prevent the sharp edges from puncturing the vacuum bag.

LETTUCE Refrigerator 3-6 days 2 weeks

Wash & thoroughly dry leafy vegetables before vacuum packaging.

VEGETABLES Freezer 8 months 2 1/2 years

To maximize the taste of vegetables, blanch them before vacuum packaging. Blanching cooks the vegetables very briey, sealing

in the avor, color and texture, leaving the vegetables cooked but still crisp. Vegetables can be blanched in boiling water in the microwave,

most vegetables only require 2-3 minutes (corn on the cob requires 6-11 minutes). Then immerse the vegetables in cold water to

stop the cooking process. Dry the vegetables, then vacuum pack.

Table adapted from Dr. G.K.York, Dept. of Food Science & Tech, U of California, Davis.

There are basic rules to follow when handling food.

They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.

COOK

It’s crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present.

The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot

of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the

surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least

160

o

F to 165

o

F (71

o

C to 74

o

C), bacteria will not be destroyed and there’s a good chance you

will get sick.

Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don’t have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the

inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal

temperature of at least 145

o

F (63

o

C) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 165

o

F

(75

o

C) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 145

o

F (63

o

C).

SEPARATE

Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST

ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in

contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning.

Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so

there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days

of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the

counter.

When grilling or cooking raw meats or sh, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean

platter. Don’t use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils

used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and

spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.

Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with

soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after

you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a

major cause of cross-contamination.

CLEAN

Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap

and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.

CHILL

Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40

o

F and

140

o

F (4

o

C and 6

o

C). Your refrigerator should be set to 40

o

F (4

o

C) or below; your freezer should

be 0

o

F (-17

o

C) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chang dishes

or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never

let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature

is 90

o

F (32

o

C) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled

when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won’t chill food - it just keeps food cold

when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and

immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.

NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it

can become heavily contaminated during eld dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures

that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to

the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and

food safety.
