children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are closely
supervised and instructed concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance.
4. Never let the vacuum sealer run unattended. Disconnect the
vacuum sealer from the power source before leaving the work
area.
5. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse cord,
plug, or vacuum sealer in water or other liquid.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or

Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
w WARNING
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any
way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
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.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If
a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
w CAUTION
Burn Hazard. Avoid touching the heat-seal bar.

Vacuum-Sealing Food Guidelines
• Avoid sharp items around heat-seal bags or rolls when vacuum sealing. Punctured bags will not seal properly.
• Buy foods in bulk and vacuum-seal to save time and money.
• Wash and dry all fruit and vegetables before vacuum-sealing.
• Washed leafy vegetables can be quickly dried with salad spinners.
• To avoid crushing berries when vacuum-sealing, freeze them first. To freeze, wash, dry, and freeze on cookie sheets. Then vacuum-seal frozen berries.
• Vegetables such as broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, green beans, kale, onions, peas, peppers, snap peas, and squash
need to be blanched and frozen before vacuum-sealing.
• Before vacuum-sealing soups, stews, stocks, and casseroles, freeze in serving-size portions. To freeze portions, pour mixtures in freezer-safe
containers; top with a lid and freeze. Remove from container and immediately vacuum-seal; then return to freezer.
• After defrosting vacuum-sealed meats, poultry, and seafood, cook to a safe internal temperature.
• Always cook foods to a safe internal temperature.
• For food safety information, visit http://www.foodsafety.gov/.
Nonfood Guidelines
• Nonfood items, such as a batteries, boating licenses, matches, and passports, can be vacuum-sealed to keep safe when boating, camping, or
traveling.
• Keys, utensils, and other sharp or pointed objects can be vacuum-sealed. Make sure to wrap the item in paper towels or some type of cushion
before vacuum-sealing.
• Be sure to take scissors to open your nonfood items.
Food Storage Guidelines
• Always defrost frozen vacuum-sealed foods in the refrigerator for food safety.
• Store all vacuum-sealed cooked foods in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Vacuum-sealed bags of coffee beans, crackers, cereal, granola, and nuts can be stored at room temperature.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
My vacuum sealer shut
off and won’t turn on
again.
The sealing bar melts
through the bag.
The bag seal pulls apart.
The vacuum pump
starts, but no air is
being removed from
the heat-seal bag.
Locks will not engage.
Lid will not open.
PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• The thermal overload protector may have been activated. In this case, allow the vacuum sealer to cool
by opening the vacuum lid for approximately 20 minutes. Be sure to leave the vacuum lid open between
vaccum sealing.
• The vacuum sealer is only intended to be used with vacuum-sealing bags. Only heat-seal bags should be used.
DO NOT USE PLASTIC HOUSEHOLD BAGS with the vacuum sealer.
• Check the condition of the seal bar tape strips. Replace if needed.
• Open lid and allow the sealing bar to cool for 5–10 minutes. Always leave the lid open between bags, and
allow at least 20 seconds between cycles.
• The seal of the bag may be incomplete. If the seal has a crease in it, or if a liquid or powder has been trapped
between the layers of the bag, the layers may not have been welded together properly. Cut off the seal and
wipe the inside of the bag clean. Then, try to vacuum-seal the bag again. When sealing a moist or
powdery food, insert a paper towel into the bag above the food before vacuum-packaging. The paper
towel will prevent moisture from interfering with the seal.
• Be sure you are either pushing down throughout the vacuum-sealing process or using the locks.
• For best results, use Hamilton Beach heat-seal bags.
• Be sure the bag is inserted properly. The open end of the bag should be centered within the vacuum chamber.
Be sure not to cover the vacuum ports.
• The bag may have a leak. If there is a leak in the bag, air will be pulled into the bag from the outside. Check for
tears or punctures. If you are using a bag that was made from a roll of material, double-check that the end of
the bag is sealed.
• Be sure to push down firmly on both corners while attempting to engage latches.
• Press down on front lid corners to release.
