The Vacuum Sealer will change the way you purchase and
store food. The Vacuum Sealer removes air from the specially
designed Vacuum Sealer bags and canisters to create a
commercial quality vacuum.
The ease and convenience of preserving and extending the
freshness of your food with the Vacuum Sealer will become an
indispensable part of your food preparation.
The Vacuum Sealer removes air from specially designed bags
and canisters to extend food freshness up to 5 times longer than
conventional storage methods.
Oxygen and moisture in air causes food to degrade over time, by
removing the air before sealing items airtight the Vacuum Sealer
extends the life of food naturally.
Vacuum Sealing is not intended to replace the refrigeration or
freezing of foods, food should still be refrigerated or frozen if
normally required.
IMPORTANT: It is best to Vacuum Seal fresh food, Vacuum
Sealing will not restore or revive food past its prime. Do not
consume food that has gone bad.

FOOD PRESERVATION CHART
Note: Storage preservation chart are estimates only and should be
used as a guide only. The storage life will depend on the original
quality of the foods and the integrity of the packages seal.

16 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Before Vacuum Sealing, it is necessary to clean your hands,
and all utensils and surfaces to be used for cutting and
Vacuum Sealing foods.
• Refrigerate or freeze perishable foods immediately, if they
have been vacuum sealed do not leave them sitting at room
temperature.
Note: It may be harmful if you consume foods which have been left
out at room temperature.
• Store dry foods such as nuts, biscuits or cereals, in a cool,
dark dry place.
• Vacuum Sealed bags prevent freezer burn. Foods that thaw
easily should be placed at the back of the freezer where the
temperature is more constant. When thawing foods it is best
to thaw foods in the refrigerator. Never thaw meats, poultry,
fish or dairy at room temperature or in hot water. If thawing
food by microwave, foods should be cooked immediately after
processing to prevent bacteria growth.
• VACUUM SEALER Vacuum Bags and Rolls are MICROWAVE
safe, to microwave cut off one corner of the bag so that steam
can escape and place in microwave.
• VACUUM SEALER Vacuum Bags and Rolls are SIMMER/BOIL
safe. Place bag into pot of boiling water with the top of the bag
above the water for easy removal.
Note: Bags or rolls are not reusable if they have been microwaved
or simmered/boiled.
• To Freeze SOUPS and SAUCES pour liquid into a bag, allowing
at least 8cm of space at the top of the bag (this allows space
for expansion of liquid when frozen and sealing space for
the bag). Do not seal at this point. Place the filled liquid bag
upright into a freezer, when liquid is frozen, remove bag from
freezer and Vacuum Seal.
• Vacuum Sealing FRUITS, for best results pre-freeze cut soft
fruit prior to vacuum sealing. This helps prevent the fruit from
being crushed during the vacuum process.
• VEGETABLES, for best results blanch vegetables in hot water
otherwise they may turn black. Blanch so that vegetables are
still crunchy, then transfer immediately into icy cold water to
cool. Drain and separate into convenient portions then vacuum
seal in bags.
• Vacuum Sealing POULTRY and whole FISH, for best results
wash poultry and pat dry with a paper towel. Then place foods
between two paper towels inside bag before Vacuum Sealing.
The paper towels helps to absorb excess moisture and juices.
• Vacuum Sealing red MEATS and fish fillets, for best results pat
dry with a paper towel. Then place foods between two paper
towels inside bag before Vacuum Sealing. The paper towels
helps to absorb excess moisture and juices.
HINTS & TIPS

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 17
Note: Vacuum Sealing may cause meat to darken. This is due to the
removal of oxygen and does not indicate spoilage.
• The Vacuum Sealer Home Vacuum Sealer can also protect
NON-FOOD ITEMS from oxidation, corrosion and moisture.
Simply store and seal items in a Vacuum Sealer Vacuum Bag
and follow the “Storing Food in a Vacuum Bag” instructions.
• Vacuum Seal items to help keep them dry, and take up
less room for storage. e.g. camping, batteries, important
documents, travelling and emergency equipment.
• Vacuum seal wet paint brushes between paint jobs without
cleaning, it keeps them moist and saves on clean up time.
• Use the Canisters to store DELICATE ITEMS such as berries,
biscuits and salad leaves or use to store sauces or soups.
• The Marinate Bowl is a great solution for marinating meats
in minutes, not hours, as Vacuum Sealing opens the pores in
foods such as meat, poultry and seafood’s allowing foods to
absorb marinades in a fraction of the time.
• For the busy family, on-the-go meals can be prepared ahead
and Vacuum Sealed in individual servings, and ready to heat
anytime.
• Prepare foods in advance for picnics and camping trips or
barbecues.
• To make an ICE PACK, pour water into a bag, allowing at
least 8cm of space at the top of the bag (this allows space for
expansion of liquid when frozen and sealing space for the bag).
Do not seal at this point. Place the filled liquid bag upright into
a freezer, when liquid is frozen, remove bag from freezer and
Vacuum Seal. Use for ice in the cooler, or ice packs for sports
injuries.
• Primarily the Vacuum Sealer is used for vacuum sealing,
however you are able to reseal foil based bags such as chip
and biscuit bags using the Manual Seal function.
HINTS & TIPS

18 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The condition of the Upper Gasket and Lower Gasket parts on
your Vacuum Sealer are critical to the forming of an air tight seal
around the bag when the cover is locked in position.
Food debris or deformation of the gaskets due to the machine
being stored in the locked position can affect the ability of the
machine to evacuate air from the bag successfully.
To prevent this:
• Always store the machine in an unlocked position. To do this
start with the cover in the open position, pull the cover lock
handle down to the lock position but with the cover still open.
Then close the cover. This will enable you to shut the unit but
not deform the gaskets.
• Regularly inspect the Upper and Lower Gaskets to ensure they
are clean, in good condition and not deformed (compressed).
Spare Gaskets can be purchased from
www.prolineaustralia.com.au/accessories
If your machine is failing to remove air from the bag, it may be due
to the gaskets. If this happens:
1. Inspect Upper and Lower Gasket and ensure they are clean
and in good condition and that they sealed correctly.
2. If no damage is apparent the gaskets may be deformed
(compressed).
3. Remove the gaskets, turn upside down and replace back into
the machine.
4. If these steps fail then replace the gaskets with a replacement
kit from Proline Australia. Part VS-C3-Gasket.
Spare Gaskets can be purchased from
www.prolineaustralia.com.au/accessories
