How does the Black & Decker
Professional-Performance Vacuum Sealer Work?
The Sealer unit has a powerful vacuum-pump system that pulls out the air that
surrounds food, leaving the food sealed in its owns 5-ply plastic storage bag.
What do I use to package my food for vacuum sealing?
The Black & Decker
®
System uses 8-inch (21 cm) wide rolls and 11-inch (28 cm)
wide rolls of 5-ply plastic to make custom-sized bags for meats, poultry, blanched
vegetables, etc.
The bags are freezer safe, hand washable and reusable. They are microwave safe
and can be immersed in boiling water for reheating packaged food.
Also available is a 2-size canister set (1- and 1
for refrigerator storage of fragile food items, like berries, or items you want to
keep crisp and dry in the pantry like cookies and crackers. It's also perfect for
keeping coffee beans fresh in the pantry or freezer.
How to use the Black & Decker
®
FreshGUARD™ Professional-Performance
Vacuum System Sealer to make custom-size bags with rolls:
1. Place the unit on a flat, level surface that is comfortable to work on and plug
in the power cord. You see the green progress light come on in the middle of
the unit.
2. Use sharp scissors to cut a piece from the roll that is long enough to hold the
food item plus 3 inches.
3. Lift the unit lid.
4. Place one end of the bag on the sealing strip. Be sure the end does not extend
over the black rubber strip or into the vacuum channel.
5. Close the lid. The push bar on the lid pushes
down the open end of the bag into position (A).
6. Press down the top of the lid at the ends then
A
press in the side latches until you hear them click
into place (B). The vacuum sealing process begins
automatically. The progress indicator light starts

sound stops and the light goes from blinking
green to red and then back to steady green.
