Thank you for purchasing a Ginny’s Brand Food Sealer.
Vacuum-sealed foods last longer and stay fresher than
foods kept in tradional storage bags and containers.
You’ll save money and prepare meals ahead of me
by buying foods in bulk and sealing in preporoned
amounts before freezing or storing. Enjoy!

HOW TO OPERATE
Tips:
• DO NOT overll the bags; leave enough space at the open end of
the bag so it can easily be placed on the sealing bar without
contents falling out.
• Wet bags may be dicult to seal; ensure the opening is dry.
• DO NOT vacuum seal objects with sharp points like sh bones and
hard shells. Sharp points may penetrate and tear the bag.
• Freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for
best results.
• DO NOT aempt to seal hot liquids.
• Store perishable foods in the freezer or refrigerator. Vacuum sealing
does not preserve perishable foods.
• Flour, rice and nuts will stay fresher longer when vacuum sealed.
VACUUM SEALING WITH THE VACUUM TUBE
1. Plug the sealer into an electrical outlet.
2. Open the sealer lid.
3. Aach the small end of the tube over the vacuum port.
4. Aach the other end of the tube to the container to be vacuum sealed.
5. Press and hold the vacuum port power buon unl vacuuming begins.
Release the vacuum port power buon and the sealer will connue to
operate (the container will be vacuumed and sealed).
6. When nished sealing, remove the tube and unplug the sealer.
WARNING:
During the vacuum sealing process, small amounts of liquids,
crumbs or food parcles can be inadvertently pulled into the
vacuum chamber clogging the port and damaging the sealer.
To avoid this, freeze moist and juicy foods before sealing bags
or place a folded paper towel near the inside top of the bag.
For powdery foods, allow extra space at the top of the bag.

CLEANING & CARE
1. Turn o and unplug the sealer.
2. Always allow the appliance to cool completely before cleaning.
3. Clean the sealer with a damp sponge. Use a mild dish soap, as needed.
DO NOT use abrasive brushes, pads or cleaning soluons. Handle gaskets
and bars carefully!
4. Dry thoroughly before using again.
5. Sealing bags can be washed in warm water with dish washing soap. Rinse
the bags well and allow to dry thoroughly before reusing. DO NOT reuse
bags that have stored raw meat or greasy foods.
6. DO NOT IMMERSE ANY CORD, PLUG OR ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE INTO
WATER.
7. DO NOT lock the sealer lid when not in use or during storage (to prevent
deforming of the gaskets).

TROUBLESHOOTING
10
Ginnys.com 800-544-1590
SEALER HAS NO POWER
• Make sure the vacuum sealer is plugged in.
• Check the power cord and plug for damage. If damaged, DO NOT use the
sealer.
• Test the electrical outlet by plugging in another appliance.
• The vacuum sealer will shut o automacally if overheated (lights will
ash). Allow the sealer to cool down for 10 minutes before trying again.
SEALER DOES NOT PERFORM FIRST SEAL ON THE BAG
• Make sure the bag cut from the roll is properly posioned as described on
page 6.
SEALER DOES NOT COMPLETELY VACUUM AIR FROM BAGS
• To seal properly, the open end of the bag should be dry and resng enrely
inside the vacuum chamber.
• Check the bars and gaskets for debris. Wipe clean and smooth them back
into place.
• Bag may have a leak. To test, seal the bag with some air in it, submerge it
in water and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. Reseal or use another
bag.
BAG IS NOT SEALING PROPERLY
• The heang bar may overheat and melt the bag. If this happens, li the lid
and allow the bar to cool for a few minutes.
BAG LOSES VACUUM AFTER BEING SEALED
• Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, crumbs, grease or liquids.
Reopen the bag. Wipe the top inside of the bag and smooth it out along
the sealing strip before resealing.
• Check the bag for punctures or holes.
