QUESTIONS?

Read all instructions before using this product.

When using your Smart Vacuum Sealer, the following basic safety precautions should always be observed:

Use the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer only for its intended purpose.

To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer, plug or

power cord in water or other liquids.

Never tug cord to disconnect from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect. Do not unplug the Oliso®

PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer when in use. Only unplug the unit when the READY light is illuminated.

To reduce the risk of injury, unplug the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer before removing the drip tray to

clean the drip tray and bag sealing area.

Clean the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer drip tray and bag sealing area after handing raw meats,

seafood and poultry to prevent bacterial contamination. Always empty and clean the drip tray between

uses. Do not allow the drip tray to overflow.

See page 10 for instructions on cleaning the drip tray and bag sealing area.

The Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer contains a very sharp, concealed blade. Please take caution when

cleaning the bag sealing area.

The Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer’s heat coil located in the bag sealing area stays warm for a few

seconds after use. Please take caution when removing the drip tray immediately after a vacuum cycle.

Keep Vac-Snap® bags away from infants and children.

Do not allow children to use the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer. Close supervision is necessary for any

appliance being used near children.

To reduce risk of electric shock, the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer has polarized plugs (one blade is

larger than the other). This is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fully fit

in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper

outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

The Oliso® PRO™ VS97A Smart Vacuum Sealer comes with a 12 Volt DC cord. Use only the DC cord supplied

with the unit. Make sure your vehicle has a 10 amp rated fuse or higher before using the 12 DC cord option.

While running off of the 12 Volt DC cord, the vehicle should be turned on, with lights, air conditioning and

radio turned off.

Always unplug your Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer when not in use.

Introducing the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer

This port should only be

used with accessories such

as canisters, bottleguards or

Mason jar attachments. If

you inadvertently plug in the

Flexi Tube and attempt to

vacuum seal a Vac-Snap®

bag, the FLEXI TUBE and

DONE lights will flash. You

must remove the Flexi Tube

before you can vacuum seal

a Vac-Snap® bag.

This area contains the cutting blade and

heat seal. We recommend wiping this

area with warm water and antibacterial

soap every time you clean the drip tray.

Note: There is a sharp, concealed

cutting blade. Please use caution

when cleaning this area.

Your Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer has a drip tray that catches liquids pulled and vacuumed out of the bag as you are

vacuum sealing. This tray allows you to vacuum seal moist food such as beef, lamb and some types of fish. The tray and gasket

insert can be hand washed with warm, soapy water. Always empty and clean the tray between uses. Do not allow the drip tray

to overflow. Please refer to Page 10 of this manual for cleaning instructions.

Simple Steps to Vacuum Sealing

INCOMPLETE SEAL

COMPLETE SEAL

AIR

Vac-Snap® bags work with Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer products. They are specifically designed for vacuum sealing.

Zipper storage or freezer bags are not durable enough for this process.

Press out excess air before closing

bag. Shift food away from the edge

you wish to seal.

Zip shut using your Zip Disc®. You can

only get a great vacuum if all the air is

out of the bag, so the zipper must be

perfectly sealed.

Select MOIST or DRY setting. Note:

Oliso® Smart Vacuum Sealer defaults

to the DRY setting for quick vacuum

sealing.

Lay the bag flat, placing the

indicator circle directly over the

arrow on the drip tray.

Slide bag forward until you reach the

“BAG EDGE” line on the drip tray.

When the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum

Sealer stops, you will hear two beeps

and see the DONE light illuminate.

Remove bag and check seal.

AIR OUT

Below are tips and tricks to use when sealing items on the MOIST setting. Following directions will ensure an airtight seal and

minimize air bubbles inside the bag.

Vacuum Sealing on the MOIST Setting*

Seal area should be clean and

dry, with no liquids coating the

area meant for sealing.

Make sure to hold Vac-Snap®

bag in place until vacuum motor

starts.

For Sous Vide users especially:

To prevent air pockets, it is

highly recommended that users

hang the bag over counter edge

while vacuum sealing.

Check to make sure that heat

seal coil is clean. Residue on the

heating coil sometimes prevents

a complete seal.

Package moist items on a flat surface to prevent vacuum pump damage and poor sealing.

If vacuum sealing moist items, it is best to empty drip tray afterwards to prevent overflow.

*NOTE: This feature applies to specific Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer models.

Useful Tips

Vacuum Sealing with the Flexi Tube

This hose lets you vacuum seal a variety of Freshkeeper® accessories. Instructions for using a bottleguard are illustrated below.

See the instruction booklet included with your accessory for specific details on that attachment.

After the FLEXI TUBE light

illuminates, press the FLEXI TUBE

button to start the vacuum.

Insert Freshkeeper® bottleguard into

your bottle of wine or cooking oil.

Connect one end of the Flexi Tube to

the accessory valve port on the

bottleguard.

Connect other end to the FLEXI

TUBE valve port on the Oliso® PRO™

Smart Vacuum Sealer. Press firmly

while twisting slightly.

When the Oliso® PRO™ Smart

Vacuum Sealer stops you will hear

two beeps and see the DONE light

illuminate. Twist to disconnect hose.

NOTE: Keep the Flexi Tube

connected to the Oliso® PRO™

Smart Vacuum Sealer if you want

to continue using accessories.

You must disconnect the Flexi

Tube from the vacuum sealer

before using a Vac-Snap® bag.

How to Reuse a Vac-Snap® Bag

THE BASICS

USE AN ALIGNMENT

CIRCLE

USE A NEW ALIGNMENT

CIRCLE

LINE UP

Reusing a Vac-Snap® bag is one of the

great features of the Oliso® PRO™ Smart

Vacuum Sealer. Thoroughly wash the

inside of the bag between uses. Let the

bag air dry upside down. When the bag

is dry, you can reuse it. You can also

wash the bag in the top rack of your

dishwasher by opening the zipper and

placing it upside down on a cup spindle.

NOTE: when dish washing Vac-Snap®

bags, the low heat cycle should be used.

Vac-Snap® bags come in a variety of

sizes. Each bag has a series of circles or

arrows that indicate the best sealing

locations along the perimeter of the

bag. Remember, never vacuum along

the zipper edge!

To begin, we recommend starting with a

circle at the bottom of the bag. The next

time you reseal the bag, use the next

closest circle. This will ensure that you

get the maximum volume out of the bag.

Caution: Do not reuse indicator circles or overlap heat seals. Doing so will not allow the bag to be resealed.

The first time you use a bag, we

recommend starting with a circle

at the bottom of the bag.

After vacuum sealing, the bag

will be melted around the

alignment circle, creating an

airtight seal.

To vacuum seal a bag again, use

a different alignment circle.

Using the 12 Volt DC Cord (VS97A Only)

Your Oliso® PRO™ VS97A Smart Vacuum Sealer comes with a 12 Volt DC cord for use in cars, RVs, trucks and boats. ONLY use

the 12 Volt DC cord that comes with your vacuum sealer.

Plug the 12 Volt DC cord into the Oliso® PRO™ VS97A Smart Vacuum Sealer.1.

Plug the 12 Volt DC cord into the DC power source in your vehicle. Make sure that your vehicle has a 10 amp rated fuse or

higher before use.

3. When using the 12 Volt DC cord, make sure that your vehicle’s engine is on and the lights, radio and air conditioner are off.

NOTE: Only use supplied 12 Volt DC Adapter (Oliso® part number VSA201)

DC JACK

Insert DC adapter into

car power source

Care and Maintenance

The Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer is an electrical appliance. Never rinse or submerge the unit in water. Certain removable

plastic parts can be rinsed and washed with warm soapy water.

The drip tray catches liquid runoff and should be regularly cleaned after vacuum sealing MOIST food. It is removable and can

be washed with warm, soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher. The tray separates into two pieces for easy cleaning.

NOTE: There may be some resistance the first time you disassemble the drip tray.

Unplug the Oliso® PRO™ Smart

Vacuum Sealer. Use the finger

indentation to pull out the drip tray.

With the back of the drip tray facing

you, lightly grasp the bottom portion

(do not squeeze). Slowly but firmly lift

up the drip tray lid.

Remove the orange gasket. Do not

remove the black rubber ring. Wash

each piece with warm soapy water.

Dry completely before reassembling.

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 use with canisters, bottle stoppers and Mason jar lid sealers. It is designed for a universal fit and works with

many brands of vacuum sealers.

Take caution not to vacuum any liquid into the Flexi Tube. If you see liquid in the tube, press STOP VACUUM immediately. Clean

the Flexi Tube promptly.

Storing Your Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer

Always unplug the vacuum sealer when not in use. The Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer is small enough to stay on your

counter. It can also be stored in a cabinet or drawer.

Troubleshooting

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

No, it does not matter. However, it might be helpful to insert the Vac-Snap® bag with the print side up so you can use the

indicator circles as guides.

What can I do to protect fragile food?

Par-freeze items in an unzipped Vac-Snap® bag for 15-25 minutes. Check the food to ensure it is semi-solid. Zip the bag shut

and proceed to sealing. Alternatively, place fragile foods in a sturdy container that will fit inside a Vac-Snap® bag. Close the

container, place it into a Vac-Snap® bag, then seal.

Why is the bag insert area blocked?

If the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer was unplugged before the READY light was illuminated, the mechanism in the punch

and seal area may not have fully retracted. Reset the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer by unplugging, then replugging. Wait

5 seconds until the READY light is illuminated before proceeding.

What do I do if the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer will not release the Vac-Snap® bag?

If the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer will not release the Vac-Snap® bag, unplug the vacuum sealer and try to remove the

Vac-Snap® bag. This should reset the machine. Wait 3 seconds before plugging the vacuum sealer in again.

Quick Tips

Pressing the STOP VACUUM mid-cycle allows you to create a partial vacuum without crushing fragile foods.

Vac-Snap® bags are for MOIST and DRY goods. Wet items such as soup, marinades or sauces must be

par-frozen before vacuum sealing.

Look at the seal after you finish a cycle to ensure that it shows a uniform melt ring. If this is not the case, line

up the partial seal with the arrow on the drip tray. Slide the bag to the “bag line” and reseal.

Do not vacuum seal over the zipper edge as you will not be able to completely reseal the bag. Follow the

pre-printed indicator circles on the Vac-Snap® bag as a guide for sealing. Do not seal over the zipper edge.

Vac-Snap® bags are one-time microwaveable and simmer safe. Do NOT boil Vac-Snap® bags.

Always use the Zip-Disc® to ensure that Vac-Snap® bags are securely closed.

To protect fragile foods like soft cheese or bread, you can pre-freeze the items in an unzipped Vac-Snap® bag

for 15-25 minutes. When the food is semi-solid, zip the bag shut and proceed to sealing.

You can also protect fragile foods by placing the items in a sturdy container, then inserting it into the

Vac-Snap® bag. Proceed to sealing.
