5. Do not vacuum pack objects with sharp edges like fish bones or hard shells, as they may tear
the bag. Use a container instead to store such foodstuff or pad the sharp edges with a paper
towel.
6. If the bag is not vacuumed sufficiently within 60 seconds, the appliance shuts off automatically.
Check if there is a leak, if the cover is properly closed, or if a bag is placed correctly in the
vacuum chamber.
7. Make sure that the upper and lower gasket is clean and has no cracks or deformations.
8. During bag vacuum packing, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be pulled
into the vacuum chamber, which may clog the pump and damage the appliance. To avoid
this, freeze moist and juicy foodstuff, place a folded paper towel near the inside top of a bag.
For powdery or fine-grained foodstuff, avoid overfilling a bag. Alternatively, place a coffee filter
inside a bag before vacuum packing.
9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum packing for best results.
10. Liquids need to be cooled before vacuum packing.
11. Store perishable foods in the freezer or refrigerator. Vacuum packing extend the shelf life of
foods, but do not preserve them.
12. Many foodstuff are sold pre-packed in commercial vacuum bags such as cheese and deli
meats You can maintain the taste and freshness re-packaging them with the vacuum sealing
bags after the commercially packed bags have been opened.
13. Do not put the sealed bag directly into a microwave oven or in hot water to heat up and cook
the foodstuff. Cut the bag open before doing so. Risk of bag rupture and consecutive risk of
burns.
14. Do not vacuum package fresh fruits and vegetables e.g. apples, oranges, carrots, shelled raw
peanuts etc. After being vacuum packed, they breath out nitrogen inside the bag which may
cause bad rupture and leakage. Cooked vegetables e.g. boiled carrots can be vacuum packed
without an issue.
After finishing the vacuum sealing, keep the cover open until the sealing element cools. Keeping
the cover closed may deform the foam gaskets and sealing strip.
