3 Functions and Features
IMPORTANT: 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.
For best result in extending the life of foods, it is important to vacuum package foods that are fresh. Once food has begun to deteriorate, vacuum packaging may only slow the deterioration process. Vacuum sealing cannot prevent the growth of mould. Other disease causing microorganisms can still grow in low oxygen environments and may require further measures to be eliminated.
3.1 Food Preparation Tips for Air-tight Vacuum Sealing
Cooking, Thawing and Reheating – Simmering in a vacuum bag helps food retain its flavour and it helps with the clean up as well. No dirty saucepans... When reheating foods in the microwave using your vacuum bags, always puncture open the bag to allow hot air to escape. You can also reheat foods in the vacuum bags by placing them in water at a low simmer below 170°F (75°C).
IMPORTANT : Always thaw foods in either a refrigerator or microwave – do not thaw perishable foods at room temperature.
3.2 Preparation Hints for Meat and Fish
Try pre-freezing meats and fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging. This helps retain the juice and shape, and provides for a better seal. If you can’t, place a folded paper towel between the food and top of the bag, but below seal area. Leave paper towel in bag to absorb excess moisture and juices during vacuum packaging process.
3.3 Preparation Hints for Cheeses
Vacuum package cheese after each use. If you make your bag just a little longer than needed, you can re-seal the bag after each use.
IMPORTANT : Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, soft cheeses should never be vacuum packaged.
3.4 Preparation Guidelines for Vegetables
Blanching is a process that should be done before vacuum packaging vegetables. This process stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of flavour, colour and texture. To blanch vegetables, place them in Simmering water or in a microwave until they are cooked, but still crisp. Blanching times can range from 1 to 2 minutes for leafy greens and peas ; 3 to 4 minutes for snap peas, sliced zucchini or broccoli ; give your carrots about 5 minutes ; and 7 to 11 minutes for corn on the cob. After blanching, immerse vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking process.
Page 8
Page 8 of 20
NOTE : All vegetables (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips) naturally emit gases, during storage. Therefore, after blanching, it’s best if they’re stored in the freezer.
3.5 More on Vegetables
Vegetables are a great candidate for portion control ; when storing vegetables, try pre-freezing them for 1 to 2 hours, then separate them into meal portions within your vacuum bags. After they have been vacuum packaged, return them to the freezer.
IMPORTANT : Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, fresh mushrooms, onions & garlic should never be vacuum packaged.
3.6 Preparation Hints for Powdery Foods
When vacuum packaging powdery items like flour, it’s best to use their original packaging inside of the vacuum bags. The fine powder could get sucked into the machine and cause enough damage to shorten the life of the sealer.
3.7 Preparation Hints for Liquids
Before you vacuum package liquid such as soup stock, pre-freeze in a casserole dish, loaf pan or ice cube tray until solid. Remove frozen liquid from pan and vacuum package in the vacuum bags. You can then stack in the freezer. When you’re ready to use, just cut corner of bag and place in either a microwave dish or drop into water at a low simmer, below 170°F (75°C)
IMPORTANT: If sealing more than 20 bags continuously, wait at least 25 minutes for the appliance to cool down before resuming use.

6 Operating Instructions
6.1 How to make Custom Sized Bags
• Pull enough bag material to hold the item to be vacuum packaged, plus 5cm more.
• With a pair of scissors or sharp knife, cut the desired bag length from the bag roll. Make sure to cut in a straight line.
• Plug in to power point and switch on.
• Open lid. Place one end of the cut bag onto the sealing strip, don’t worry if you
accidently place any material onto the gasket area.
• Close the lid firmly by pressing down firmly on both sides, check to make sure that the lid has latched closed. If the lid cannot be lifted, then you have successfully locked the lid in place.
NOTE: The sealing strip will NOT work properly unless you lock the lid. Ensure that the lid has been locked on both sides for proper sealing.
• Now that the lid has been locked, press the “Seal Only” button to create a custom sized bag. The Red indicator light illuminates during the seal process.
• Once completed the Red indicator light will turn off; press the release buttons on both sides of the machine, it is now safe to take out the newly created bag.
Warning: Take care to avoid a burns injury when sealing as the Sealing Heated Strip may be hot.
• The custom sized bag is now ready for vacuum sealing.
CAUTION: Make sure you give the appliance time to cool down. Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very heavy usage, appliance will shut off automatically to prevent overheating. If it does, wait 30 - 40 minutes to allow appliance to cool off.

6.2 Vacuum Sealing
• Plug in to power point and switch on.
• Place the item(s) to be vacuum sealed into the pre-cut or custom sized bag.
Leave at least 5cm between the contents and the top of the bag to allow for bag contraction.
• Open the lid and place the open end of the bag down into the Vacuum channel ensuring the bag is flat and wrinkle free.
• Close the lid firmly by pressing down firmly on both sides, check to make sure that the lid has latched closed. If the lid cannot be lifted, then you have successfully locked the lid in place.
NOTE: The sealing strip will NOT work properly unless you lock the lid. Ensure that the lid has been locked on both sides for proper sealing.
• Now that the lid has been locked, press the “Vacuum & Seal” button. Unit will start to pump out the air and the Green indicator light will illuminate.
• When enough air has been withdrawn, the Green indicator light will turn off, the Red indicator light will illuminate and the sealing process will begin.
• Once completed and the Red indicator light has turned off, press the release buttons on both sides of the machine, to release the sealed bag.
Warning: Take care to avoid a burns injury when sealing as the Sealing Heated Strip may be hot.
CAUTION: Make sure you give the appliance time to cool down. Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very heavy usage, appliance will shut off automatically to prevent overheating. If it does, wait 30 - 40 minutes to allow appliance to cool off.
Page 13
Page 13 of 20
NOTE: If for some unknown reason the unit does not reach the required vacuum pressure, please check if the bag has a leak, or the bag has not been placed properly on the appliance, then re-try.
6.3 Hints For Best Vacuuming Performance
Do not put too much food stuff inside the bag. Leave enough empty space in the open end of the bag so that the bag can be placed on the vacuuming plate more positively and easily.
Do not wet the open end of the bag. A wet bag may be difficult to melt and seal tightly.
Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing the bag. Make sure there is nothing is left on the open area of the bag and no wrinkles or creased lines as this may cause difficulty sealing.
Do not leave excess air inside the bag. Press the bag to expel as much air as possible from the bag before vacuuming sealing it. Too much air inside the bag increases the vacuum pump load and may cause the pump motor to overwork and thus not removing all the air.
Do not vacuum pack objects with sharp points like fish bones and hard shells. Sharp points may penetrate and tear the bag.
6.4 To Open a Sealed Bag
Cut the bag straight across with scissors or a sharp knife, just below the seal line.
6.5 Resealing
You can reseal many foods in their original store packages (i.e. frozen peas, etc.).
To do so, follow the steps of “Vacuum Sealing” previously in this manual.
Note: Not all original food bags are re-sealable. Test and see which are and which are not suitable for future reference.
7 Preparing Food for the Freezer
In properly stored conditions, the vacuum sealer helps you to maintain the food’s freshness. Try to start with the freshest food possible.
To freeze the foods which need to hold its shape or which are fragile, vacuum seal in a vacuum bag and return to freezer.
Food such as meats, berries and breads can be frozen without fear of freezer burn for up to 24 hours.
Page 14
Page 14 of 20
For vacuum sealing liquid-based foods, such as soups, casseroles or stews, first freeze the liquid in a dish (no bigger than the vacuum bag), then place the frozen liquid into the vacuum bag and vacuum seal, label and place in your freezer.
To vacuum seal foods not frozen, allow an additional 50mm bag length expansion while freezing.
Place meat or fish on a paper towel, and vacuum seal with the paper towel in the bag, this way it will help to absorb moisture from the foods.
Before storing the foods such as tortillas, crepes or hamburger patties, use wax or parchment paper between them when stacking. This will be easier to remove some of the food, then reseal the rest and immediately replace in the freezer.
Blanch vegetables by cooking briefly in boiling water or in a microwave oven, let them cool down, then vacuum seal in convenient portions.
8 General Rules For Food Safety
From scientific study and common sense, we can learn the following food safety rules, and it will lead you to improved safety and optimal food storage.
• If perishable foods have been heated, defrosted or un-refrigerated, consume them immediately.
• To re-vacuum foods after the vacuum bag has been opened, follow the instructions on “Vacuum Sealing” and then refrigerate or freeze as desired.
• The safest way to defrost your food is to place the frozen food in the refrigerator and leave until fully thawed out. Never defrost foods in hot water or via external heat sources. You may use a microwave oven with a defrost function.
• It will be harmful if you consume the foods which have been left out at room temperature for more than a few hours, especially if they have been prepared with a thick sauce, in a vacuum package, or in some other low-oxygen environment.
• To cool down food temperature quickly, please spread vacuum packages evenly throughout the refrigerator or freezer.
We advise the following when packaging large volumes of meat, fish, or any food products
• Before vacuum sealing, it’s necessary to clean your hands, and all utensils and surfaces to be used for cutting and vacuum sealing foods.
Page 15
Page 15 of 20
• Refrigerate or freeze the perishable foods immediately, if you have vacuum- sealed them, and do not leave them sitting at room temperature.
• The shelf life of dry foods such as nuts, coconut or cereals will be extended in vacuum-sealed package, while stored in a cool, dark place. Oxygen and warm temperature will cause the fat in high-fat content foods to rancidity.
• Before vacuum sealing some fruit and vegetables, such as apples, bananas, potatoes and root vegetables, peeling them will extend their shelf lives.
• Some vegetables such as fresh broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage when refrigerated, will emit gases, so it’s suggested to blanch and freeze these foods before vacuum sealing.
9 Food Storage Safety Information
This Vacuum Preservation System will change the way you purchase and store foods.
Once you are accustomed to vacuum packing, it will become an indispensable part of your food preparation.
Follow the certain procedures to ensure food quality and safety, when using this appliance to vacuum seal foods.
Chemical reactions in the food to air, temperature, moisture, and enzyme action, growth of microorganisms or contamination from insects will cause food spoilage.
The main element to cause food to lose nutritive value, texture, flavour, and overall quality is oxygen in the air.
Most microorganisms’ growth relies on air, for it will carry moisture into and out of foods unless they are protected with moisture-proof packing.
Frozen foods being exposed to freezer air will result in freezer burn.
The vacuum seal packing removes up to 90% of the air from the package. It’s approximately 21% oxygen in the air, so 90% air removal leaves a 2% to 3% residual oxygen level in vacuum-sealed foods. When the oxygen level is at or below 5%, most microorganisms are inhibited from growth.
In general, there are three microorganism categories: mould, yeast and bacteria, they are present everywhere, but only under certain conditions they can cause problems.
In moisture, Sugar and a moderate temperature circumstance, yeast can grow with or without air.
Page 16
Page 16 of 20
Refrigeration will slow the growth of yeast and freezing stops it completely.
Bacteria can grow with or without air.
One of the extremely dangerous type of bacteria is clostridium botulinum, and they can grow under the right conditions without air: in the temperature range of 4˚ to 46˚ C.
Conditions for growth are foods lacking acid, low oxygen environment and temperatures greater than 4˚C for extended time.
Frozen, dried, high in acid, salt or sugar foods can be resistant to botulinum.
Non-acid foods which include meats, seafood, lye-cured olives, poultry, fish, eggs and mushrooms; low-acid foods which are mostly vegetables; medium-acid foods include overripe tomatoes, onions, chilli peppers, figs and cucumbers are easy be infected by botulinum.
It should be refrigerated for short term and frozen for long-term storage, for the foods most susceptible to botulinum, and consumed immediately after heating.
Some dried foods, such as flour and cereals may contain insect larvae, if you do not vacuum-seal, larvae may hatch during storage and contaminate the foods. To prevent weevils and other insects from hatching, store these foods in vacuum sealed packages.
Avoid spoilage: foods should be stored at low temperatures, for few of the microorganisms can grow without air.
If Temperatures in the refrigerator are greater than 4˚C (especially for extended periods of time), it will support the growth of harmful microorganisms, so you should keep the temperature at 4˚C or below.
When the temperature in the freezer is -17˚C or lower, it’s suitable for store foods, although freezing does not kill microorganisms, it retards their growth.
The vacuum-sealed storage temperature will affect dried foods: for their shelf life is extended 3-4 times for every 10˚C drop in temperature.
Both the “General Rules for Food Safety” and “Food Storage Safety Information” were the latest food safety recommendations at the time of writing this manual.
If you are unsure to whether these notes are still current, please contact your local health authority for updates.
