How to Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into the
Drip Tray (O) or getting trapped in the seal:
Either pre-freeze moist food such as raw meat for 1-2 hours
before vacuum sealing, or place a folded paper towel between
food and end of bag to absorb excess liquids. Be sure to leave
at least 3 inches (7.62 centimeters) between paper towel and
end of bag so that bag seals properly with paper towel inside
and is not positioned in between the seal area.
Make sure appliance has time to cool down.
Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very heavy
usage, appliance will stop operating to prevent overheating. If
it does, wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off.
Note: Bags that previously contained fruits, vegetable and
dry goods can be resealed. Bags that contained raw meats,
fish eggs or unpasteurized cheese should be discarded
after use becase they may contain invisible bacteria that
will remain after washing.
