START ENJOYING THE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF YOUR
SEAL-A-MEAL®VACUUM FOOD STORAGE SYSTEM WITH
YOUR NEW LIGHTWEIGHT ON-THE-GO CONTAINER SET
Seal-a-Meal®Lightweight On-the-Go Containers protect your food from air
and moisture loss, the enemies of fresh food. Vacuum sealing locks air out
and seals freshness in, preserving the taste and nutritional value of stored
foods.
Seal-a-Meal®Lightweight On-the-Go Container Set includes:
•3Stackable Lightweight On-the-Go Containers and Lids
•Accessory Hose and Adapter
•Accessory Port Adapter Fitting (for use with other brand Vacuum
Sealers)
Please note: Your Seal-a-Meal®Lightweight On-the-Go Containers are
intended for storing and reheating fully cooked foods, soups, sauces and
more! Also note that tomato-based sauces contain a pigment called
lycopene, which is not water-soluble and causes stains to porous materials,
including most plastics. This only affects the appearance of the product and
not the performance.

HELPFUL HINTS & TIPS
•Lightweight On-the-Go Containers are great for vacuum sealing any type
of food—pre-made meals, leftovers and healthy portion sizes.
•Make sure there are no crumbs or food debris on the Container Lid, as gaps
or an improper seal will prevent air from being removed.
•Do not overfill the Container Base with food or liquid.
•Store the vacuum sealed Container in an upright position.
•Easily microwave foods in your Container, simply remove the Lid and place
the Container Base in your microwave.
•Some deformation of the Container base may occur during vacuuming.
This is normal and does not effect performance.

USING YOUR SEAL-A-MEAL®LIGHTWEIGHT ON-THE-GO
CONTAINERS WITH A SEAL-A-MEAL®VACUUM FOOD SEALER
Your Seal-a-Meal®Lightweight On-the-Go Containers let you enjoy the
convenience and benefits of storing pre-made meals, preserving leftovers,
controlling portion sizes and simplifying reheating. They are great for
storing foods or other items on the countertop, in the refrigerator or in the
pantry.
Make sure your Vacuum Food Sealer and Container are sitting on a flat, dry
surface and follow the instructions below:
1. Plug in your Vacuum Food Sealer.
2. Place the item you wish to seal inside the Container, leaving at least
one inch between the contents and the top rim of the Container.
3. Place the Lid on the Container.
4. Insert the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port on your Vacuum
Food Sealer.
5. Place the Accessory Adapter over the Vacuum Valve on the Container
Lid.
6. Close the lid on your Vacuum Food Sealer and activate the vacuum
feature (refer to the Reference Guide for your Vacuum Sealer). Once
the air has been removed from the Container, the Sealer will
automatically turn off.
7. Remove Accessory Hose & Adapter from the Container Lid. The
Container is now ready to be stored.
Note: If your Vacuum Sealer has a Cancel button, it is best to press the
cancel button before removing the Accessory Hose and Adapter from the
Container Lid.
Note: To release the vacuum in the Container, simply open the Vacuum
Valve/Air Release flap.

Fitting will also be needed.

female end of the Fitting.
2. Insert the Fitting into the Accessory Port of your Vacuum Sealer.
3. It's as easy as that! Now, you're ready to start using your Lightweight
On-the-Go Containers.
CLEANING YOUR LIGHTWEIGHT ON-THE-GO CONTAINERS
