HELPFUL HINTS & TIPS
•Canisters are great for vacuum sealing delicate foods (cookies, muffins),
soups, sauces and more.
• Make sure there are no crumbs or food debris on the Canister Lid, as
any gaps will prevent it from vacuum sealing.
• Do not over fill the Canister with food or liquid.
• Store vacuum sealed Canisters in an upright position.
Refer to your Seal-a-Meal®Vacuum Food Storage System Reference Guide
for more details on how to Vacuum Seal with Seal-a-Meal®Accessories.
CLEANING YOUR CANISTER SET
• Hand wash Canister with warm soapy water, rinse well, and dry
thoroughly. Canister Base (NOT the Lid) is dishwasher safe.

least one inch between the contents and the rim of the Canister.
