Using your Luvele Deluxe Vacuum Sealer
Vacuum packaging with a bag
1. Put the items you wish to vacuum seal inside the bag. Use only the specially designed Luvele vacuum
bags/rolls supplied.
2. Straighten the open end of the bag and make sure there is no dust, wrinkles or ripples in the bag.
NOTE: Make sure there is adequate room between the item being sealed and the seal line.
The bag at the seal line needs to be flat and wrinkle free. Approx 6cm from the item to the seal
line should do the job.
3. Place the open end of the bag within the vacuum chamber area. Make sure the air intake is not
covered by the bag.
4. Press the cover down on both sides using both hands until you hear two click sounds on
both the left and right side.
5. Check the LED status of the ‘FOOD’ button and the ‘SPEED’ button.
If the item you are sealing is dry then select ‘DRY’ on the food button. If the item is moist then select
‘MOIST’ on the Food button.
Then select the desired vacuum speed with the ‘SPEED’ button. Select ‘NORMAL’ for
general items. If the item being sealed is delicate then select the ‘Gentle’ button.
When you have set the ‘FOOD’ button and ‘SPEED’ button to the desired settings then press the
‘VAC & SEAL’ button. The unit will then vacuum the bag and when complete will automatically
seal the bag. Wait until the ‘SEAL’ light has turned off before opening the vacuum sealer lid.
NOTE: If you need to vacuum seal a very delicate or moist item you can do the following.
Setup the vacuum sealer by following above instructions. After pressing the ‘VAC & SEAL’ button
observe the status of the vacuum pressure inside the bag. When the desired vacuum pressure is
achieved press the ‘SEAL’ button immediately to avoid crushing the delicate item. This will stop the
pump and heat-seal the bag.
6. The vacuum packaging is now done. Press the release buttons on both sides of the machine
simultaneously to open the cover and take out the packed bag.
NOTE: For the best sealing outcome, it is best to let the appliance cool down for 30 seconds before
using it again. Wipe out excess liquid or food residue in the vacuum chamber after each
vacuum seal.
Do not seal one bag after another continuously to avoid overheating of the sealing element. The machine
will reject if this “SEAL” button is pressed within 30 seconds of the last activation. Your appliance can
work only on the specific bags provided by Luvele. Do not attempt to use other bags not intended for
vacuum packaging. Cut the bags straight across with scissors to open a sealed bag.

Food Storage Information
Storage time will vary depending on the freshness of foods that are being vacuumed packaged.
The fresher the foods the longer the storage time will be.
The main element that causes food to lose its nutritional value, texture, flavor, and overall quality
is oxygen. Vacuum packaging helps to extend the life of foods by removing most of the oxygen in
a sealed bag or container. Removing oxygen from stored foods helps to inhibit the growth of
micro-organisms. There are three main types of micro-organisms that effect stored foods.
They are mould, yeast and bacteria.
•Mould: Easy to identify due to its characteristics fuzz. Moulds cannot grow in vacuum packaging
because of the low oxygen environment. Therefore, vacuum packaging eliminates mould.
• Yeast: Yeast is the fermentation of foods. It can be identified by smell or taste. Yeast requires
sugar and a moderate temperature to grow and it can grow with or without air. Refrigeration will
slow the growth of yeast and freezing stops it completely.
• Bacteria: Bacteria can grow with or without air. Bacteria results in discoloration, soft or slimy
texture and an unpleasant smell. The best way to combat bacteria is to both vacuum pack and
freeze foods.
Storing foods at low temperatures is critical for preserving foods safely. Growth of micro-organisms is
reduced at temperatures below 4° C. Storing foods at -17°C will not kill micro-organisms but it will stop
them from growing. For the best results freeze perishable foods that have been vacuumed sealed.
Food Storage Information
Thawing and heating vacuumed packages foods
Always thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator or microwave. Do not leave foods to thaw at room
temperature. When microwaving a vacuumed packaged food cut a corner of the bag and place
on a microwave safe tray.
You can reheat foods in a vacuum sealed bag by placing in water at a low simmer

Tips for Vacuum Packaging Food Items
P/9
Vacuum Packaging Meat & Fish
For the best results when vacuum packaging meats and fish, pre-freeze for 1-2 hours before
vacuum packaging in bag. This helps meats to retain their shape and prevents any liquids form
overflowing into vacuum sealer.
Vacuum Packaging Cheese
To keep cheese fresh you can vacuum pack after each use. Make the bag extra long when sealing
for the first time. Cut sealed edge when you’re ready to use cheese. To re-package simply place the
cheese back in to the bag and re vacuum seal.
Vacuum Packaging Vegetables
Vegetables need to be blanched before vacuum packaging. This stops enzymes from effecting the
flavor, colour and texture of the vegetable. To blanch vegetables, place in boiling water for
approximately 1 minute. After blanching place the vegetable in to iced cold water to stop the cooking
process. Then dry vegetables on paper towel before vacuum packaging.
Note: Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflowers naturally
emit gases during storage. Therefore, after blanching and vacuum packaging they must be stored in
freezer only. Mushrooms and garlic should not be vacuumed packed.
Vacuum Packaging Fruits
Fruits can be vacuumed sealed whole or sliced. For longer lasting storage place fruits in freezer.
Vacuum Packaging Coffee or Powdery Foods
To prevent food particles from being drawn into vacuum pump place a coffee fliter or piece of paper
towel at the top of bag before vacuum packaging. You can also place the food in its original bag inside
a vacuum sealer bag.
Vacuum Packaging Liquids
Before vacuum packaging liquids such as stock, pre-freeze in a ice cube tray until frozen. Place
frozen cubes into vacuum sealer bag. When ready to use place frozen cube straight in to dish
being prepared
Vacuum Packaging for Marinating
Vacuum sealing opens the pores in foods such as meats, poultry and seafood absorbing marinades
much aster that traditional methods. When vacuum sealing marinades do not overfill bag. This will
ensure that liquid does not enter the vacuum chamber.
Re-sealing Chip Packets
You can utilise the seal strip to re-seal packaging that has already undergone a commercial quality seal.
This allows half consumed packets of chips, crackers and cereals to be resealed by placing on sealing
strip. When resealing, ensure that the bag does not reach into the vacuum chamber, as it will crush
delicate items. Use this method to reseal suitable packets only.

P/10
Tips for Vacuum Packaging Non-Food Items
The Luvele Elevate Vacuum Sealer can also be used to protect non-food items from corrosion,
oxidation and moisture. The same process can be used to vacuum seal non-food items as
food items.
Vacuum Packaging Silver Ware & Cutlery
When vacuum packaging silver ware and cutlery make sure any sharp edges are covered with a soft
cushioning material such as paper towel to avoid puncturing bag.
Vacuum Packaging First Aid Kits
Vacuum packaging first aids kits to store in your home, boat or car is a great way to keep items dry
and free from dirt and mould. Also consider vacuum sealing flares, batteries, flashlight, candles and
matches.
Vacuum Packaging for Outdoor Activities
When campling vacuum packing your clothes can save space in your bag and keep dry at the
same time. Also, vacuum seal your maps, matches and snacks.
Vacuum Packaging paint brushes
When painting around the home you can vacuum package your wet paint brushes between coats
rather that washing. This is particularly useful for oil based paints that require mineral turpentine to
clean.
Vacuum Packaging Ice
You can vacuum package ice to use as an icepack for picnics and other outdoor activities. When the
ice melts you then have fresh drinking water or refreeze to use again as an icepack

Troubleshooting
P/11
Nothing happens when I try to vacuum package
• Check power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into electrical outlet.
• Examine power cord for any damage.
• See if electrical outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance.
• If your appliance has a mode switch, make sure it is set to the correct mode. Refer to the above
operating instructions
• Make sure bag is placed correctly inside Vacuum chamber and beneath the air intake.
Air is not removed from the bag completely
• To seal properly the open end of the bag should be resting entirely inside the vacuum
chamber area.
• Check sealing strip and the foam gasket beneath the lid for debris and position. Make sure
there is no breaking or distortion of the foam seal gaskets on both the cover and on the base
of the vacuum chamber. Wipe clean and smooth them back into place.
• Vacuum bag may have a leak. To test, seal the bag with some air in it, submerge in water, and
apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. Reseal or use another bag.
• Use only the specified vacuum bag with vacuum channels provided by the manufacturer.
• Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, debris crumbs, grease or liquids. Reopen bag,
wipe the top inside of the bag and smooth it out along the sealing strip before resealing.
• There is a vacuum pressure sensor built in this machine. The machine will not turn to seal
automatically if the vacuum pressure inside the bag is not able to reach the predetermined
vacuum pressure. Check sealing strip and the foam gasket beneath the lid for debris and correct
position. Wipe clean and smooth them back into place, and try again.
Air has re-entered into the bag after being sealed
• Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, debris crumbs, grease or liquids. Reopen bag,
wipe the top inside of the bag and smooth it out along the sealing strip before resealing.
• The release of natural gases or fermentation from foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables may
occur. Most vegetables require blanching prior to vacuum packaging. See page 9 for
further instructions.
• Open bag if you think food has begun to spoil, and discard food. Lack of refrigerator or
fluctuating temperatures in the refrigerator can cause food to spoil. If food is not spoiled then
consume food immediately.
• Check the bag for a puncture or hole which may have released the vacuum. Do not vacuum
package hard items with sharp points like bones or shell. Cushion sharp edges in the contents
of the bag with paper towels.
The bag melts
• Should sealing strip or sealing element be overheat and melt the bag, it may be necessary to lift
the lid and allow sealing strip or heating element to cool for a few minutes.

Troubleshooting
P/12
Vacuum Sealing moist or liquid items
Many troubles faced when vacuum sealing are from trying to seal moist or liquid items.
Moist items are more difficult to vacuum seal because the moisture in the items naturally
wants to get sucked towards the seal area where the vacuuming is taking place. If the
moisture reaches the seal area the vacuum sealer will automatically start to seal the item.
This can happen while there is still air in the bag and can give the appearance that the
vacuum sealer is not working correctly.
Following are some tips to overcome this:
• If attempting to seal moist meats like fish and chicken, it is recommended that you cut
you vacuum bag with extra length, so there is room for the moisture to move during the
vacuuming process and so the moisture does not reach the seal area. 15cm should be
enough length from the end of the meat item to the seal area.
• Another solution to sealing high moisture items is to wrap them in plastic wrap then
place them in the vacuum bag to be vacuum sealed. This should prevent most of the
liquid being sucked towards the seal area.
• If placing large moist items in a bag like a whole fish, it is very important you do not
leave any moisture near the seal area. Once you have placed this type of item in the
bag use some dry paper towel to wipe down the seal area for a successful outcome.
• Liquid items like soups, stocks, gravy etc should all be frozen before attempting to
seal.

Storage and Cleaning
P/13
Cleaning your Vacuum Sealer
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
3. Avoid using abrasive products or material to clean the unit, for they will scratch the surface.
4. Use a mild dishwashing soap and a warm, damp cloth to wipe away food residue or around
components.
5. Dry thoroughly before using again.
Note: The foam gaskets around the vacuum chamber should be dried thoroughly before re-assembling.
When re-assembling gasket be careful to position it correctly to ensure no vacuum leakage.
It is very important not to store the vacuum sealer with the lid clipped shut, this can compress
and damage the foam gasket
Cleaning vacuum bags
1. Wash bags in warm water with a mild dishwashing soap
2. When wash bags in dishwasher, turn bags inside out and spread them over top rack of
dishwasher, so entire surface is exposed to the washing water.
3. Dry thoroughly before reusing.
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible illness, do not reuse bags after storing raw meats, raw fish
or greasy foods. Do not reuse bags that have been microwaved or boiled.
Storing Your Vacuum Sealer:
1. Keep the unit in a flat and safe place, out of the reach of children.
2. Remember to make sure the lid of the appliance is unlocked when not in use and in
storage. Keep the cover locked will distort the foam gaskets causing leaking.
