Read all instructions before using this product

When using Frisper, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Getting to know your Frisper

Liquid Drip Tray

Your Frisper has an antibacterial liquid run off or drip tray which catches liquids

which have been pulled and vacuumed out of the bag as you are frisping.

This tray allows you to vacuum seal moist proteins such as beef, lamb and some

fish. It is always recommended to rinse and blot dry all proteins before frisping.

The tray, minus the gasket insert, is top rack dishwasher safe. Always empty and

clean the tray between uses. Do not allow the drip tray to overflow.

Bag Puncture Tooth

The bag puncture tooth is made of an

antibacterial plastic to help prevent

the growth of bacteria and germs. We

recommend that it should be cleaned

with hot water and antibacterial soap

after contact with raw meats/seafood

and poultry. This is a smart precaution to

take to maintain a hygienic work area.

Note: The puncture tooth can be sharp.

Always use care when handling or

cleaning it.

Flexi Tube Valve Port

This device should only be used with

accessories such as canisters, permanent

valve pantry bags, bottle stoppers

or mason canning jar sealers. If you

inadvertently plug the flexi tube in and

attempt to frisp a zipper bag, no air

will evacuate from the bag. This can be

frustrating, so double check at all

times and if you’re simply frisping a vac-

snap zipper bag, do not have the tube

plugged in.

Simple steps to start frisping vac-snap zipper

bags

Press out excess air before

closing bag. Shift food

away from the edge you

wish to seal.

1Zip shut using your zip-disc. You’ll

only be able to get a great frisp if

all the air is out of the bag, so the

zipper must be perfectly sealed.

2Lay bag flat, place the indicator

circle directly over the orange

sealing ring on the lower tray. The

puncture tooth will pierce the bag

in the circle’s center.

Press firmly on the lid of the

Frisper. It will lock down and

immediately begin vacuuming.

Remove your hand from the lid

to avoid air in the bag.

4When the Frisper stops (usually

less than 30 seconds) the indicator

light will flash green. Push the

release latch button on the side

and remove your bag.

5Voila! You’re done. The dime

sized heat seal impression

around the puncture means the

seal is airtight.

The bags enclosed with your Frisper are designed and engineered to very specific standards. Zipper bags from the

grocery store aren’t made strongly enough, and air passes through them.

How to re-use a Frisper vac-snap zipper bag

Reusing a Frisper bag is one of the great

features of the Frisper system. When re-

using bags we always recommend a thorough

washing of the inside of the bag between uses.

Let the bags air dry upside down and you’re

good to go.

You can also put them in the dishwasher top

rack by opening the zipper and placing them

upside down on a glass spindle.

The basics

Frisper bags come in a variety of sizes. Each

bag has a series of marks/circles or arrows

which indicate prime frisping locations along

the perimeter of the bag.

Remember, never frisp along the zipper edge.

To begin, we recommend starting with a circle

at the bottom of the bag. As you reopen and

reseal the bag, move upwards towards the

zipper. This will ensure always getting max

volume out of the bag.

USE AN INDICATOR CIRCLE

The first time

you use a bag,

we recommend

starting with

a circle at the

bottom of the bag.

LINE UP

After vacuum sealing,

the bag will be melted

around the indicator circle,

creating an airtight seal

USE A NEW INDICATOR CIRCLE

To vacuum seal a bag

again, use a different

indicator circle.

Goof proof sealing — how to save an incomplete seal

Every once in a while, you might not totally seal the zipper or press too lightly on the lid when you start

the Frisper. What happens next is that no air comes out of the bag and the Frisper keeps running and

running. That’s because it’s trying to evacuate air, but the bag is still open somewhere…so here’s what to

do to remedy this situation.

1Open the zipper and make sure

it’s clean of any fats or oils. Use a

paper towel to wipe it clean.

Using your zip disc – hook, flip

and zip — seal the zipper closed.

Release the lid and vacuuming

should already be underway.

Now firmly press the lid down on the

bag, double checking the alignment.

Lay the bag flat and center the

indicator circle you just attempted to

seal directly over the orange sealing

ring. Make sure you align it precisely

so the puncture tooth will re-enter the

hole at the same exact point.

In less than 30 seconds the vacuum and

seal should be completed.

You’re done! Heat seal is now complete

and airtight.

This should remedy the incomplete seal and your bag is ready

and re-usable.

If for some reason, this remedy doesn’t work, please call our

Frisper concierge line and we’ll help you via phone.

We’re open 7 am – 7 pm Pacific Standard Time.

Care and maintenance

Use the release tab to

detach the catch tray.

Remove the tray cover.

PRESS THE BUTTON TO UNLOCK

THE LID BEFORE STORING YOUR

FRISPER. THIS HELPS KEEP THE

OVAL RING FROM DEFORMING.

The Frisper is an electrical appliance. Never rinse or submerge the product in water. Certain plastic removable

parts can be rinsed, washed in warm soapy water or are top rack dishwasher safe — top rack only!

The drip tray which catches liquid run off is constructed of anti-bacterial material. However, it still should be

regularly cleaned after frisping moist food. It is removable and can be washed with warm soapy water or

placed carefully in the top rack of your dishwasher.

Storing Your Frisper

Always unplug the Frisper when not in use.

Frisper is small enough to stay on your

counter. It can also be stored in a cabinet

or drawer.

It is best to store your Frisper with the

lid unlocked. This allows the oval rings to

retain their original shape and size.

It is best to store the flexi tube hose in a

loose knot (like a pretzel) to avoid pinching

or deforming the hose. Remember this

hose is for use with canisters, upright

pantry bags, bottle stoppers, and mason

jar lid sealers. It is designed for a universal

fit and works with many brands of vacuum

accessories. For a complete list, please

phone the Frisper Concierge.

Pour out liquids.

Wash with soap or place

in the dishwasher.

Be sure to clean the flexi tube

promptly if food or liquids get

into the tube.

Common questions and quick tips

Does it matter which side of the bag is facing up when I am frisping?

No, it doesn’t matter. Just make sure that the zipper edge is facing

away from the center of the Frisper – i.e. facing left or right of the lid.

What do the lights mean on the release latch button of the Frisper?

There are 3 series of light indicating functions.

Solid green – the product is plugged in and powered.•

Solid orange – the vacuum sealing process is underway.•

Flashing green – the process is finished.•

What can I Frisp?

You can frisp a variety of foods and items. Soups, liquids and sauces

must be par frozen first. Check the Frisping Shopping List for great

recommendations and ideas.

Can I microwave or simmer food in a Frisper bag?

Yes. Frisper bags are perfectly fine for a one-time use in the microwave

or stove top simmering. They are NOT for boiling.

Where can I find help?

You can speak live with a Frisper concierge agent between the hours

of 7 am and 7 pm Pacific Standard Time.

Quick Tips you’ll find helpful

Use the indicator circles pre-printed•

on the vac-snap zipper bag to ensure

correct positioning every time.

To begin, we recommend starting with

•

a circle at the bottom of the bag. As

you reopen and reseal the bag, move

upwards towards the zipper. This will

ensure always getting max volume out

of the bag.

Place the bag edge directly against the•

long edge of the drip tray. Make sure

it’s lined up correctly but don’t force

the bag to bunch up under the lid.

Keep the vac-snap zipper bag flat and•

smooth and shake it first so food is on

the side opposite of the one you are

frisping. Don’t bunch up the bag under

the lid.

Don’t frisp directly over previously•

used seals. Don’t overlap seals either.

It won’t work, and you’ll be frustrated.

Frisp a clean, clear seal each time.

Don’t frisp over the zipper edge Doing•

so will completely defeat the purpose

of the machine and you’ll be frustrated.

Just frisp using the pre-printed

indicator circles as a guide.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Frisper is not working and there is no sound

when I press down on the lid.

Is the electrical cord plugged into a 120 V AC outlet?

Plug the Frisper into a wall outlet.•

Is the terminal connector of the adaptor plugged into

the Frisper?

Plug adaptor into the rear terminal of the Frisper.•

Is the correct AC adaptor used?

Check the adaptor to make sure it’s the Frisper’s.•

Is the LED indicator light off?

Check the above 2 steps•

Is the lid closed down firmly?

You will hear a ‘click.’•

Problem: Bag and food are wet.

Always par freeze liquids first before frisping.•

Pat meats or vegetables dry before frisping. Use a•

paper towel as a blotter inside the vac-snap zipper bag

— it becomes a wick and helps to seal moist foods.

Problem: Bag is leaking air.

Is the heat sealed circle complete? Is there a tiny puncture

somewhere on the vac-snap zipper bag?

Visually inspect the vac-snap bag. Check the heat seal•

impression left on the bag.

Re-frisp if necessary.•

Is the zipper closed completely?

Re-zip again using the zip-disc.•

Are you using a Frisper vac-snap zipper bag?

Zipper bags from the grocery store aren’t made•

strongly enough, and air passes through them.

Problem: The Frisper sounds like it is working but…..

nothing is happening.

Are you trying to Frisp from a used spot on the bag?

Open the Frisper and move the bag to a fresh spot to frisp.•

Are you overlapping or too close to a used spot?

If so, move the bag away from the used spot by•

1/4-inch and try again.

Is the vac-snap zipper fully closed?

Re-zip again using the zip-disc.•

Are the foods in the bag fatty or juicy?

With a clean dry paper towel, wipe down the zipper treads on the•

inside of the bag.

Is food bunched up and under the Frisper lid?

Remove bag from Frisper, shake food to opposite side and re-frisp•

the circle you have already started. Make sure you line the puncture

tooth up and directly over the puncture you just made.

Is the drip tray full?

Empty, rinse out and thoroughly dry.•

Is the heat-sealed circle complete and is the thickness of the seal even?

and through?

Visually review the heat seal impression left on the bag. If the seal•

is not even and through, line up the puncture tooth over the hole it

made and re-frisp.

Is the flexi tube plugged into the Frisper’s flexi tube valve port?

Remove flexi tube and re-frisp.•

Did you firmly press down on the lid? or just tap it?

Open lid, make sure puncture tooth is aligned. Press firmly down on•

the lid and let go.

Is the vac-snap zipper bag edge lined up along the drip tray marking

line? Is the vac-snap zipper bag overlapping the inside of the Frisper

and bunched up under the lid?

Open the lid, move the bag edge to run parallel to the drip tray edge•

with the zipper facing right or left.
