SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: The Vacuum Sealer is equipped with
a two-prong polarized power cord. Connect the
appliance only to earthed (grounded) power sockets.
Do not use appliance with a grounding adapter.
Contact a qualified electrician if the plug does not fit
into the electrical outlet you intend on using.
WARNING: Be careful not to touch or come in
contact with the Seal Bar when the Vacuum
Compartment Lid is open as it may be hot.
Never press the Seal button when the Vacuum
Compartment Lid is open as this will apply heating
power to the Seal Wire and can present a burning
hazard.
WARNING: Vacuum packaging is not a substitute
for refrigeration or freezing. Any perishable foods
!
!
that require refrigeration must still be refrigerated or
frozen after vacuum packaging. Vacuum packaging is
not a substitute for canning.
WARNING: Never vacuum package garlic or fungi
(such as mushrooms). A dangerous chemical
reaction takes place when air is removed, causing
these foods to be dangerous if ingested.
WARNING: As with any storage container, it is
!
It is important to note that vacuum packaging cannot reverse the
deterioration of foods; it can only slow down changes in quality. It is
difficult to predict how long foods will retain their flavor, appearance
or texture since it depends on the age and condition of the food
when it was vacuum packaged.
