SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
product has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. When the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. When it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
WARNING: Be careful not to touch or come in contact with the Seal Bar when the Vacuum Chamber Lid is open as it may be hot. Never press the Seal button when the Vacuum Chamber 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

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.

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 important to inspect food that has been vacuum packaged for spoilage prior to consumption.
