Operation
Smart Seal Technology
Luvele’s ‘Smart Seal Technology’ allows for up to 100 bag seals in a row without
overheating the dual seal strip.
Other home style vacuum sealers generally require a 40 second break
between bag seals, to allow the seal strip to cool.
The Luvele smart seal system manages the heat distribution of the
duel seal strip to maintain an even and constant temperature throughout use.
PLEASE NOTE
The smart seal feature will take approximately 3-4 bag seals to warm-up.
The first few bag seals may be a little slower, while the dual seal
strip warms up. Please keep this in-mind when using the Luvele Deluxe PRO
vacuum sealer.

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 eect 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.
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

Storage
Vacuum packaging with a bag
1. Put the items you wish to vacuum seal inside the bag. Use only the specially
designed vacuum bags/rolls supplied.
2. Straighten the open end of the bag and make sure there is no dust or folds
in the bag.
3. Place the open end of the bag within the vacuum chamber area. Make sure the
air intake is not covered by the bag. Also, make sure the bag on the seal line is
completely flat and that there is approximately 5cm of bag roll between the top of
the item being sealed in the bag and the dual seal line.
4. Close the lid and place the ‘Easy Lock Handle’ in the ‘Lock’ position.
5. Check the LED status of the VACUUM button and the FOOD 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 pressure with the VACUUM button.
Select NORMAL for general items. If you need to seal delicate items then select
the GENTLE button.
When you have set the FOOD button and VACUUM button to desired
settings, then press the AUTO VAC button. The unit will then vacuum
the bag and when complete will automatically seal the bag.
6. The vacuum packaging is now done. Lift the ‘Easy Lock Handle’ to the open
position and take out the vacuum packed bag.
NOTE: Wipe out any excess liquid or food residue in the vacuum chamber
after each vacuum seal. After 100 vacuum seals in a row, allow the vacuum
sealer to cool down for 20 minutes.
The Luvele Deluxe PRO should only be used with specifically design vacuum
sealer 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.

Tips
INSTRUCTION | P13
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 eecting 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 Coee or Powdery Foods
To prevent food particles from being drawn into vacuum pump place a coee 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
Tips
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.
Tips for Vacuum Packaging Non-Food Items
The Luvele Deluxe PRO 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 Silverware & Cutlery
When vacuum packaging silverware and cutlery make sure all sharp edges are
covered with a 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

Trouble shoot
INSTRUCTION | P15
Nothing happens when I try to vacuum seal a bag
• 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.
• Make sure the bag is placed correctly inside vacuum chamber and
beneath the air intake.
• Make sure there is 5cm of flat bag between the top of the item in
the vacuum bag and the dual seal line. The bag needs to be
completely flat on the dual seal line.
Air is not removed from the bag completely
• To seal correctly, the open end of the bag should be resting entirely inside
the vacuum chamber area.
• Check dual seal strip and the foam gaskets for debris and position.
Make sure there is no breaking or distortion of the foam gaskets on both
the cover and on the base of the vacuum chamber. Wipe clean and smooth
them back into place if needed.
• 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
Luvele.
• 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.
The bag melts
• Should the dual seal strip overheat and melt the bag, it may be necessary to
lift the lid and allow seal strip to cool for a few minutes.
Trouble shoot
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.
• 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.
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 dicult to vacuum seal because the moisture in the
bag naturally wants to get sucked towards the seal area where the vacuuming is
taking place. If the moisture reaches the seal line 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 line. 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.

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 storing. If removal and re-assembling of foam gaskets is required, then be
careful to position them correctly to ensure no vacuum leakage.
Cleaning vacuum bags
1. Wash bags in warm water with a mild dishwashing soap
2. When washing bags in dishwasher, turn bags inside out and spread them over
top rack of dishwasher, so entire surface is exposed to the wash.
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:
