Tips for vacuuming
• Do not overfill the bags; leave enough
length at the opening of the bag so that it
can be placed in the vacuum chamber easily.
• Ensure that the opening of the bag is dry,
clean, flat and absolutely free of wrinkles. A
wet, dirty or wrinkled bag opening might be
insufficiently sealed or may leak.
• To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum
sealing bulky items, gently stretch flat
the bag while inserting into the vacuum
chamber and hold it stretched until the
pump begins to work (possibly a 2nd person
needed).
• Vacuum seal cannot completely replace
the refrigeration and freezing of foods.
Perishable foods still need to be refrigerated
or frozen.
• When you are vacuum sealing items with
sharp edges protect the bag from punctures
by wrapping items in soft cushioning
material, such as tissue paper.
• Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables
before vacuum sealing for the best results.
• Intervals for 40 seconds after seal or
vacuum are recommended.
• If you are unsure whether your bag was
sealed properly, just reseal the bag.

Cleaning and care
Warning
• Unplug the product and let it cool down
completely before cleaning. Never
immerse electrical parts of the product in
water during cleaning or operation. Never
hold the product under running water.
• When cleaning, never use solvents or
abrasive materials, hard brushes, metallic
or sharp objects. Solvents are harmful to
human health and can attack plastic parts,
while abrasive cleaning mechanisms and
tools may scratch the surface(s).
• Clean the product's exterior surfaces with
a slightly damp cloth and then dry them
thoroughly.
• Make sure that no water enters the product
interior (for example, through the switches).
