Read all instructions before using this product

When using Frisper, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Getting to know your Frisper

Liquid Drip Tray

Your Frisper has an antibacterial liquid run off or drip tray which catches liquids which have been pulled and vacuumed out of the bag as you are frisping. This tray allows you to vacuum seal moist proteins such as beef, lamb and some fish. It is always recommended to rinse and blot dry all proteins before frisping. The tray, minus the gasket insert, is top rack dishwasher safe. Always empty and clean the tray between uses. Do not allow the drip tray to overflow.

Bag Puncture Tooth

The bag puncture tooth is made of an antibacterial plastic to help prevent the growth of bacteria and germs. We recommend that it should be cleaned with hot water and antibacterial soap after contact with raw meats/seafood and poultry. This is a smart precaution to take to maintain a hygienic work area.

Note: The puncture tooth can be sharp.

Always use care when handling or cleaning it.

Flexi Tube Valve Port

This device should only be used with accessories such as canisters, permanent valve pantry bags, bottle stoppers or mason canning jar sealers. If you inadvertently plug the flexi tube in and attempt to frisp a zipper bag, no air will evacuate from the bag. This can be frustrating, so double check at all times and if you’re simply frisping a vacsnap zipper bag, do not have the tube

plugged in.

Simple steps to start frisping vac-snap zipper

bags

Press out excess air before closing bag. Shift food away from the edge you wish to seal.

Zip shut using your zip-disc. You’ll only be able to get a great frisp if all the air is out of the bag, so the zipper must be perfectly sealed.

Lay bag flat, place the indicator circle directly over the orange sealing ring on the lower tray. The puncture tooth will pierce the bag in the circle’s center.

Press firmly on the lid of the Frisper. It will lock down and immediately begin vacuuming. Remove your hand from the lid to avoid air in the bag.

When the Frisper stops (usually less than 30 seconds) the indicator light will flash green. Push the release latch button on the side and remove your bag.

Voila! You’re done. The dime sized heat seal impression around the puncture means the seal is airtight.

The bags enclosed with your Frisper are designed and engineered to very specific standards. Zipper bags from the grocery store aren’t made strongly enough, and air passes through them.

How to re-use a Frisper vac-snap zipper bag

Reusing a Frisper bag is one of the great features of the Frisper system. When reusing bags we always recommend a thorough washing of the inside of the bag between uses. Let the bags air dry upside down and you’re good to go.

You can also put them in the dishwasher top rack by opening the zipper and placing them upside down on a glass spindle.

The basics

Frisper bags come in a variety of sizes. Each bag has a series of marks/circles or arrows which indicate prime frisping locations along the perimeter of the bag.

Remember, never frisp along the zipper edge.

To begin, we recommend starting with a circle at the bottom of the bag. As you reopen and reseal the bag, move upwards towards the zipper. This will ensure always getting max volume out of the bag.

USE AN INDICATOR CIRCLE

The first time you use a bag, we recommend starting with a circle at the bottom of the bag.

LINE UP

After vacuum sealing, the bag will be melted around the indicator circle, creating an airtight seal

USE A NEW INDICATOR CIRCLE

To vacuum seal a bag again, use a different indicator circle.

Goof proof sealing — how to save an incomplete seal

Every once in a while, you might not totally seal the zipper or press too lightly on the lid when you start the Frisper. What happens next is that no air comes out of the bag and the Frisper keeps running and running. That’s because it’s trying to evacuate air, but the bag is still open somewhere…so here’s what to do to remedy this situation.

Open the zipper and make sure it’s clean of any fats or oils. Use a paper towel to wipe it clean.

Using your zip disc – hook, flip and zip — seal the zipper closed.

Release the lid and vacuuming should already be underway.

Now firmly press the lid down on the bag, double checking the alignment.

Lay the bag flat and center the indicator circle you just attempted to seal directly over the orange sealing ring. Make sure you align it precisely so the puncture tooth will re-enter the hole at the same exact point.

In less than 30 seconds the vacuum and seal should be completed.

You’re done! Heat seal is now complete and airtight.

This should remedy the incomplete seal and your bag is ready and re-usable.

If for some reason, this remedy doesn’t work, please call our Frisper concierge line and we’ll help you via phone. We’re open 7 am – 7 pm Pacific Standard Time.

Care and maintenance

Use the release tab to detach the catch tray.

Remove the tray cover.

PRESS THE BUTTON TO UNLOCK THE LID BEFORE STORING YOUR FRISPER. THIS HELPS KEEP THE OVAL RING FROM DEFORMING.

The Frisper is an electrical appliance. Never rinse or submerge the product in water. Certain plastic removable parts can be rinsed, washed in warm soapy water or are top rack dishwasher safe — top rack only!

The drip tray which catches liquid run off is constructed of anti-bacterial material. However, it still should be regularly cleaned after frisping moist food. It is removable and can be washed with warm soapy water or placed carefully in the top rack of your dishwasher.

Storing Your Frisper

Always unplug the Frisper when not in use.

Frisper is small enough to stay on your counter. It can also be stored in a cabinet or drawer.

It is best to store your Frisper with the lid unlocked. This allows the oval rings to

retain their original shape and size.

It is best to store the flexi tube hose in a loose knot (like a pretzel) to avoid pinching

or deforming the hose. Remember this hose is for use with canisters, upright pantry bags, bottle stoppers, and mason jar lid sealers. It is designed for a universal fit and works with many brands of vacuum accessories. For a complete list, please phone the Frisper Concierge.

Pour out liquids. Wash with soap or place in the dishwasher.

Be sure to clean the flexi tube promptly if food or liquids get into the tube.

Common questions and quick tips

Does it matter which side of the bag is facing up when I am frisping?

No, it doesn’t matter. Just make sure that the zipper edge is facing away from the center of the Frisper – i.e. facing left or right of the lid.

What do the lights mean on the release latch button of the Frisper?

There are 3 series of light indicating functions.

Solid green – the product is plugged in and powered. •

Solid orange – the vacuum sealing process is underway.•

Flashing green – the process is finished.•

What can I Frisp?

You can frisp a variety of foods and items. Soups, liquids and sauces must be par frozen first. Check the Frisping Shopping List for great recommendations and ideas.

Can I microwave or simmer food in a Frisper bag?

Yes. Frisper bags are perfectly fine for a one-time use in the microwave or stove top simmering. They are NOT for boiling.

Where can I find help?

Quick Tips you’ll find helpful

Use the indicator circles pre-printed • on the vac-snap zipper bag to ensure correct positioning every time.

To begin, we recommend starting with

•

a circle at the bottom of the bag. As you reopen and reseal the bag, move upwards towards the zipper. This will ensure always getting max volume out of the bag.

Place the bag edge directly against the • long edge of the drip tray. Make sure it’s lined up correctly but don’t force the bag to bunch up under the lid.

Keep the vac-snap zipper bag flat and • smooth and shake it first so food is on the side opposite of the one you are frisping. Don’t bunch up the bag under the lid.

Don’t frisp directly over previously • used seals. Don’t overlap seals either. It won’t work, and you’ll be frustrated. Frisp a clean, clear seal each time.

Don’t frisp over the zipper edge Doing • so will completely defeat the purpose of the machine and you’ll be frustrated. Just frisp using the pre-printed indicator circles as a guide.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Frisper is not working and there is no sound when I press down on the lid.

Is the electrical cord plugged into a 120 V AC outlet?

Plug the Frisper into a wall outlet.•

Is the terminal connector of the adaptor plugged into the Frisper?

Plug adaptor into the rear terminal of the Frisper.•

Is the correct AC adaptor used?

Check the adaptor to make sure it’s the Frisper’s.•

Is the LED indicator light off?

Check the above 2 steps •

Is the lid closed down firmly?

You will hear a ‘click.’•

Problem: Bag and food are wet.

Always par freeze liquids first before frisping. • Pat meats or vegetables dry before frisping. Use a •

paper towel as a blotter inside the vac-snap zipper bag — it becomes a wick and helps to seal moist foods.

Problem: Bag is leaking air.

Is the heat sealed circle complete? Is there a tiny puncture somewhere on the vac-snap zipper bag?

Visually inspect the vac-snap bag. Check the heat seal • impression left on the bag.

Re-frisp if necessary.•

Is the zipper closed completely?

Re-zip again using the zip-disc.•

Are you using a Frisper vac-snap zipper bag?

Zipper bags from the grocery store aren’t made • strongly enough, and air passes through them.

Problem: The Frisper sounds like it is working but….. nothing is happening.

Are you trying to Frisp from a used spot on the bag?

Open the Frisper and move the bag to a fresh spot to frisp.•

Are you overlapping or too close to a used spot?

If so, move the bag away from the used spot by • 1/4-inch and try again.

Is the vac-snap zipper fully closed?

Re-zip again using the zip-disc.•

Are the foods in the bag fatty or juicy?

With a clean dry paper towel, wipe down the zipper treads on the • inside of the bag.

Is food bunched up and under the Frisper lid?

Remove bag from Frisper, shake food to opposite side and re-frisp • the circle you have already started. Make sure you line the puncture tooth up and directly over the puncture you just made.

Is the drip tray full?

Empty, rinse out and thoroughly dry.•

Is the heat-sealed circle complete and is the thickness of the seal even? and through?

Visually review the heat seal impression left on the bag. If the seal • is not even and through, line up the puncture tooth over the hole it made and re-frisp.

Is the flexi tube plugged into the Frisper’s flexi tube valve port?

Remove flexi tube and re-frisp.•

Did you firmly press down on the lid? or just tap it?

Open lid, make sure puncture tooth is aligned. Press firmly down on • the lid and let go.

Is the vac-snap zipper bag edge lined up along the drip tray marking line? Is the vac-snap zipper bag overlapping the inside of the Frisper and bunched up under the lid?

Open the lid, move the bag edge to run parallel to the drip tray edge • with the zipper facing right or left.
