Canister Guidelines - Excalibur EHV12 Manual Del Usuario

CANISTER GUIDELINES

• Use only canisters designed for vacuum packaging. Other containers can implode under
the vacuum pressure of the Vacuum Sealer.
• Cool liquids in refrigerator before vacuum packaging. Hot foods should be cooled before
vacuum packaging.
• Do not freeze vacuum canister. Suggested lowest temperature is 0˚F (-17.7˚C) Too low
lower than 0˚F (-17.7˚C) or too high higher than 212˚F (100 ˚C) temperature will make the
canister materials endure lower pressure or melt.
• 3-5 seconds before the machine's vacuum process, slightly press the canister lid with
your hands.
• Hand wash canister lid. Do not put in dishwasher or microwave. The canister body itself is
dishwasher safe and microwave safe. Suggested highest temperature is 212˚F (100 ˚C).
• If liquids are caught in the accessory hose, run warm water through hose. Be sure hose is
not attached to accessory port.
• Powdered or granulated foods should be covered with a paper towel before vacuuming
to prevent food from traveling into the vacuum mechanism.
• Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. Perishable foods still need to be
refrigerated or frozen.
