PROTECTIVE TAPE
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
VACUUM CHAMBER SEALS
There are two factory-installed Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals on the Vacuum
Sealer. When the Vacuum Lid is closed and downward force applied, they form
an airtight seal so the Vacuum Chamber can be evacuated.
The Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals may wear over time and require replacement.
See the “Service Instructions” section of this manual for information on replacing
the Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals, if necessary.
COOLING FAN
The Vacuum Sealer has an Internal Cooling Fan that runs whenever the
unit is plugged in and turned on. To save energy, turn the unit “OFF”
and unplug the Power Cord when not in use.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The Vacuum Sealer will automatically shut down if it overheats. If this occurs,
turn the unit off and open the Vacuum Lid. Resume normal operation after the
unit cools about 20 minutes.
To help prevent overheating, wait at least 20 seconds between cycles with the
Vacuum Lid open. Avoid touching the Seal Bar Tape. The Seal Bar Tape will
remain hot for a brief period of time after each sealing cycle.
LIMIT SWITCH
The Vacuum Sealer is equipped with a switch to prevent actuation of the Seal
Bar Heating Element in manual mode when the Vacuum Lid is open. When the
Vacuum Lid is closed, heat made by the Seal Bar Heating Element is absorbed
by the vacuum bag and Vacuum Lid Seal.
When the Vacuum Lid is open, there is no means to dissipate the heat and unit
damage may occur.
NOTE: The Vacuum Sealer is ONLY intended to be used with VACUUM BAGS.
For best results, only use the recommended vacuum bags with an embossed or mesh
lining. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS! Any other uses of the Vacuum
Sealer, other than the uses described in this booklet, could potentially damage the
appliance and void the warranty!

Thermal Overload Protection
The vacuum sealer will automatically shut off if it overheats. If this occurs,
unplug the unit and open the vacuum lid. Resume normal operation after the
unit cools or about 20 minutes.
Always allow 20 seconds minimum for cool down between operations.
• This allows the heat-seal bar to cool down.
• Placing a new bag in the unit and closing the lid when the
heat-seal bar is still hot will cause the bag to prematurely melt together
before vacuum seal operation.
wCAUTION Burn Hazard. Avoid touching the heat-seal bar.

REPLACING THE FUSE
. IMPORTANT NOTE: Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration.
Vacuum packed perishable foods still require refrigeration.
. NEVER thaw frozen foods at room temperature. Thaw frozen foods in a
refrigerator or microwave oven.
. In general, the colder the temperature at which foods are stored, the longer the
shelf life.
. Handle vacuum sealer bags with care. Avoid damaging them. A damaged bag
will not hold a seal.
. Only use information in the following chart as a guideline! Refer to the “Vacuum
Packaging Guidelines” and “Food Safety” sections of this manual. Actual storage
life spans may vary. Check all food for spoilage before use.

TYPE LOCATION LIFE PACKED
LIFE
LARGE CUTS OF MEAT Freezer 6 months 2-3 years
GROUND MEAT Freezer 4 months 1 year
FISH Freezer 6 months 2 years
For best results, freeze meats & sh for 1-2 hours before vacuum packing to help prevent moisture
and juices from interfering with the seal of the vacuum bag.
COFFEE BEANS Room temperature 4 weeks 16 months
COFFEE BEANS Freezer 6-9 months 2-3 years
FLOUR, RICE, SUGAR Room Temperature 6 months 1-2 years
For best results, powder or grainy substances should be kept in their original container or bag, then placed in a
vacuum bag for sealing to prevent interfering with the seal of the vacuum bag.
BERRIES strawberries, raspberries, blackberries Refrigerator 1-3 days 1 week
BERRIES cranberries, huckleberries, blueberries Refrigerator 3-6 days 2 weeks
To prevent berries from being crushed by the vacuum sealer, it is best to freeze item before packing. Spread the berries out on a
cookie sheet to allow them to freeze individually. Berries frozen in a large block will be difcult to vacuum seal due to the
many small air pockets that would form between the berries.
CHEESE Refrigerator 1-2 weeks 4-8 months
If vacuum packed cheese is used often, make sure the vacuum bag is long enough to allow for repeated sealing. For shredded
cheese, place a paper towel inside the vacuum bag, on top of the cheese to prevent the cheese from being
sucked into the Vacuum Sealer or interfering with the sealing of the bag.
COOKIES, CRACKERS, BREADS with periodical opening Room Temperature 1-2 weeks 3-6 weeks
Freeze soft airy foods for 1-2 hours prior vacuum packing, to retain shape & texture.
PASTA, GRAINS, DRIED BEANS Room Temperature 6 months 1-1/2 years
NUTS Room Temperature 6 months 2 years
Dried foods with sharp edges should be wrapped in a paper towel or other matter to prevent the sharp edges from puncturing the vacuum bag.
LETTUCE Refrigerator 3-6 days 2 weeks
Wash & thoroughly dry leafy vegetables before vacuum packaging.
VEGETABLES Freezer 8 months 2 1/2 years
To maximize the taste of vegetables, blanch them before vacuum packaging. Blanching cooks the vegetables very briey, sealing
in the avor, color and texture, leaving the vegetables cooked but still crisp. Vegetables can be blanched in boiling water in the microwave,
most vegetables only require 2-3 minutes (corn on the cob requires 6-11 minutes). Then immerse the vegetables in cold water to
stop the cooking process. Dry the vegetables, then vacuum pack.
Table adapted from Dr. G.K.York, Dept. of Food Science & Tech, U of California, Davis.

There are basic rules to follow when handling food.
They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.
COOK
It’s crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present.
The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot
of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the
surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least
160oF to 165oF (71oC to 74oC), bacteria will not be destroyed and there’s a good chance you
will get sick.
Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don’t have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the
inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal
temperature of at least 145oF (63oC) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 165oF
(75oC) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 145oF (63oC).
SEPARATE
Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST
ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in
contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning.
Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so
there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days
of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the
counter.
When grilling or cooking raw meats or sh, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean
platter. Don’t use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils
used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and
spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.
Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with
soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after
you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a
major cause of cross-contamination.
CLEAN
Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap
and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.
CHILL
Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40oF and
140oF (4oC and 6oC). Your refrigerator should be set to 40oF (4oC) or below; your freezer should
be 0oF (-17oC) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chang dishes
or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never
let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature
is 90oF (32oC) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled
when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won’t chill food - it just keeps food cold
when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and
immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.
NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it
can become heavily contaminated during eld dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures
that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to
the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and
food safety.
