8. During bag vacuum packaging process, small amounts of liquids,
crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently pull into removable
interface, clogging the pump and damaging your appliance. To
prevent this, follow these tips:
a) For moist and juicy foods such as raw meats:
Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. You can also place a folded
paper towel inside top of bag, but below seal area, before vacuum

10
packaging.
b) For soups, sauces and liquids: freeze first and then vacuumize,
keep the vacuumized bag or canister with these stuff in refrigerator
c) For powdery or fine-grained foods: avoid overfilling bags or use a
canister. You can also place a coffee filter or paper towel inside
before vacuum packaging.
9. To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches of bag material
between bag contents and top of bag. Then leave at least one
additional inch of bag material for each time you plan to reuse bag.
10. When using canister, remember to leave one inch from canister
cover rim, and make sure upper lid is already locked before
vacuuming.
11. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum packaging for
best results.

VACUUM PACKAGE GUIDELINES
Vacuum sealing for the refrigerator
For the busy family, on-the-go meals can be prepared ahead and
vacuum-sealed in individual servings, and ready to heat anytime.
Preparing food for the freeze
1. In properly stored conditions, the appliance helps you to maintain the
food’s freshness. Try to start with the freshest food possible.
2. To freeze the foods which need to hold its shape or fragile, you can
vacuum packaging them in a vacuum bag and then return to freezer.
Food such as meats, berries and breads can be frozen without fear of
freezer burn for up to 24 hours.
3. For vacuum sealing liquid-based foods, such as soups, casseroles or
stews, first freeze it in a baking pan or tempered dish, then vacuum
seal, next to label and stack in your freezer as soon as it is in frozen
solid;
4. Blanch the vegetables by cooking briefly in boiling water or
microwave oven, cool them down in crunchy position, then vacuum
seal in convenient portions.
5. To vacuum seal the foods not frozen, two extra inches is required for
bag length to allow for expansion while freezing. Place the meat or
fish on a paper towel, and vacuum seal with the paper towel in the
bag, this way will help to absorb moisture from the foods.
6. Before storing the foods such as tortillas, crepes or hamburger patties,
use wax or parchment paper between them to stack the pieces, this
will be convenient to remove some of the food, reseal the rest and
immediately replace in the freezer.

General rules for food safety
From scientific study and common sense, we can learn the following food
safety rules, and it will lead you to improved safety and optimal food
storage.
1. The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction

re-vacuumed packages properly.
5. The suitable way to defrost your food is to place in refrigerator until
defrosted, never defrost foods in hot water or via heat sources, or a
microwave oven.
6. It will be harmful if you consume the foods which have been left out
at room temperature for more than a few hours, especially if they
have been prepared with a thick sauce, in a vacuum package, or in
some other low-oxygen environment.

16
7. To cool down food temperature quickly, please spread vacuum
packages evenly throughout the refrigerator or freezer.
