PRESERVATION WITH VACUUM CANISTERS
1. Put the items inside the canister and cover it with the lid. Insert one
end of the hose into the Air Suction Hole on the appliance, then insert
the other end into the hole on the top of the canister lid.
2. Press the "Canister" button to begin drawing the air from the canister
and create a tight seal. You can press the "Stop" button to halt the
operation at any time. When the vacuum process is completed, the
appliance will automatically stop.
3. Unplug one end of the hose from the canister first, then unplug the
other end from the appliance.
4. When the stored items expire or need to be removed from the canister,
press down the button in the center of the canister lid to release the air,
then open the canister after a few seconds.
TIPS ON USING CANISTERS
•
Remove the lid before placing the canister in the microwave oven.
•
Place the canister in the refrigerator for better preservation.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. Do not overfill the bags. Leave enough length at the opening of the bag
so that it can be placed in the vacuum chamber easily.
2. Ensure that the opening of the bag is dry. A wet bag may be difficult to
melt and seal tightly.
3. Vacuum sealing cannot completely replace refrigeration and freezing;
perishable foods still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
4. Make sure the opening of plastic bags is clean and flat, with no foreign
objects or folds, to prevent difficulty or leaks during sealing.
5. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently
stretch the bag flat while inserting it into the vacuum chamber and
hold it until the pump begins to work.
6. When vacuum sealing items with sharp edges (such as dry spaghetti
or silverware), protect the bag from punctures by wrapping the item in
soft cushioning material, such as tissue paper. You may also use a
canister or container instead of a bag.
7. When using accessories, remember to leave 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space at
the top of the canister or container.
8. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for the
best results.
9. Allow intervals of 40 seconds after sealing or vacuuming for optimal
performance.
10. If you are unsure whether your bag was sealed properly, just reseal the
bag.
11. For best results, please use PKVS20STS brand Bags, Canisters, Con-
tainers, and Accessories.
TIPS ON VACUUM SEALING WITH ACCESSORIES
Please pay attention to the following points before using PKVS20STS
accessories including canisters, containers, wine stoppers, etc.:
1. Make sure to leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between objects
and the edge.

dry.
3. Put the lid on the canister or container, or insert the wine stopper into
the bottle.

on the lid. When the process is completed, turn the knob to OFF, then
