When using your Smart Vacuum Sealer, the following basic safety precautions should always be observed:

1. Use the Oliso ^® PRO ^™ Smart Vacuum Sealer only for its intended purpose.
2. To protect against the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer, plug or power cord in water or other liquids.
3. Never tug cord to disconnect from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect. Do not unplug the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer when in use. Only unplug the unit when the READY light is illuminated.
4. To reduce the risk of injury, unplug the Oliso ^® PRO ^™ Smart Vacuum Sealer before removing the drip tray to clean the drip tray and bag sealing area.
5. Clean the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer drip tray and bag sealing area after handing raw meats, seafood and poultry to prevent bacterial contamination. Always empty and clean the drip tray between uses. Do not allow the drip tray to overflow.
6. See page 10 for instructions on cleaning the drip tray and bag sealing area.
7. The Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer contains a very sharp, concealed blade. Please take caution when cleaning the bag sealing area.
8. The Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer's heat coil located in the bag sealing area stays warm for a few seconds after use. Please take caution when removing the drip tray immediately after a vacuum cycle.
9. Keep Vac-Snap ^® bags away from infants and children.
10. Do not allow children to use the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer. Close supervision is necessary for any appliance being used near children.
11. To reduce risk of electric shock, the Oliso ^® PRO ^™ Smart Vacuum Sealer has polarized plugs (one blade is larger than the other). This is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fully fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.
12. The Oliso® PRO™ VS97A Smart Vacuum Sealer comes with a 12 Volt DC cord. Use only the DC cord supplied with the unit. Make sure your vehicle has a 10 amp rated fuse or higher before using the 12 DC cord option. While running off of the 12 Volt DC cord, the vehicle should be turned on, with lights, air conditioning and radio turned off.
13. Always unplug your Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer when not in use.

Introducing the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer

Flexi Tube Valve Port

This port should only be used with accessories such as canisters, bottleguards or Mason jar attachments. If you inadvertently plug in the Flexi Tube and attempt to vacuum seal a Vac-Snap® bag, the FLEXI TUBE and DONE lights will flash. You must remove the Flexi Tub before you can vacuum seal a Vac-Snap® bag.

DUAL SEAL Area

This area contains the cutting blade and heat seal. We recommend wiping this area with warm water and antibacterial soap every time you clean the drip tray.

Your Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer has a drip tray that catches liquids pulled and vacuumed out of the bag as you are vacuum sealing. This tray allows you to vacuum seal moist food such as beef, lamb and some types of fish. The tray and gasket insert can be hand washed with warm, soapy water. Always empty and clean the tray between uses. Do not allow the drip tray to overflow. Please refer to Page 10 of this manual for cleaning instructions.

CAUTION: Do not pull on the drip tray while the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer is operating. Doing so will cause damage to the drip tray.

Simple Steps to Vacuum Sealing

Vac-Snap ^® bags work with Oliso ^® PRO ^™ Smart Vacuum Sealer products. They are specifically designed for vacuum sealing. Zipper storage or freezer bags are not durable enough for this process.

1 Press out excess air before closing bag. Shift food away from the edge you wish to seal.

4 Lay the bag flat, placing the indicator circle directly over the arrow on the drip tray.

2 Zip shut using your Zip Dist. You can only get a great vacuum if all the air is out of the bag, so the zipper must be perfectly sealed.

5 Slide bag forward until you reach the "BAG EDGE" line on the drip tray.

3 Select MOIST or DRY setting. Note: Oliso® Smart Vacuum Sealer defaults to the DRY setting for quick vacuum sealing.

6 When the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer stops, you will hear two beeps and see the DONE light illuminate. Remove bag and check seal.

Vacuum Sealing on the MOIST Setting\*

Below are tips and tricks to use when sealing items on the MOIST setting. Following directions will ensure an airtight seal and minimize air bubbles inside the bag.

1 Seal area should be clean and dry, with no liquids coating the area meant for sealing.

2 Make sure to hold Vac-Snap® bag in place until vacuum motor starts.

3 For Sous Vide users especially: To prevent air pockets, it is highly recommended that users hang the bag over counter edge while vacuum sealing.

4 Check to make sure that heat seal coil is clean. Residue on the heating coil sometimes prevents a complete seal.

Useful Tips

Package moist items on a flat surface to prevent vacuum pump damage and poor sealing.

If vacuum sealing moist items, it is best to empty drip tray afterwards to prevent overflow.

*NOTE: This feature applies to specific Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer models.

Vacuum Sealing with the Flexi Tube

This hose lets you vacuum seal a variety of Freshkeeper accessories. Instructions for using a bottleneck are illustrated below. See the instruction booklet included with your accessory for specific details on that attachment.

1 Insert Freshkeeper® bottleguard into your bottle of wine or cooking oil.

5 When the Oliso PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer stops you will hear two beeps and see the DONE light illuminate. Twist to disconnect hose.

3 Connect other end to the FLEXI TUBE valve port on the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer. Press firmly while twisting slightly.

NOTE: Keep the Flexi Tube connected to the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer if you want to continue using accessories. You must disconnect the Flexi Tube from the vacuum sealer before using a Vac-Snap® bag.

Caution: Wait until the DONE light illuminates before removing the bag.

How to Reuse a Vac-Snap® Bag

Reusing a Vac-Snap ^® bag is one of the great features of the Oliso ^® PRO ^™ Smart Vacuum Sealer. Thoroughly wash the inside of the bag between uses. Let the bag air dry upside down. When the bag is dry, you can reuse it. You can also wash the bag in the top rack of your dishwasher by opening the zipper and placing it upside down on a cup spindle.

NOTE: when dish washing Vac-Snap ^® bags, the low heat cycle should be used.

THE BASICS

Vac-Snap ^® bags come in a variety of sizes. Each bag has a series of circles or arrows that indicate the best sealing locations along the perimeter of the bag. Remember, never vacuum along the zipper edge!

To begin, we recommend starting with a circle at the bottom of the bag. The next time you reseal the bag, use the next closest circle. This will ensure that you get the maximum volume out of the bag.

USE AN ALIGNMENT CIRCLE

The first time you use a bag, we recommend starting with a circle at the bottom of the bag.

LINE UP

After vacuum sealing, the bag will be melted around the alignment circle, creating an airtight seal.

USE A NEW ALIGNMENT CIRCLE

To vacuum seal a bag again, use a different alignment circle.

Caution: Do not reuse indicator circles or overlap heat seals. Doing so will not allow the bag to be resealed.

Using the 12 Volt DC Cord (VS97A Only)

Your Oliso® PRO™ VS97A Smart Vacuum Sealer comes with a 12 Volt DC cord for use in cars, RVs, trucks and boats. ONLY use the 12 Volt DC cord that comes with your vacuum sealer.

Plug the 12 Volt DC cord into the Oliso® PRO™ VS97A Smart Vacuum Sealer.1.

1. Plug the 12 Volt DC cord into the DC power source in your vehicle. Make sure that your vehicle has a 10 amp rated fuse or higher before use.
2. When using the 12 Volt DC cord, make sure that your vehicle's engine is on and the lights, radio and air conditioner are off.

NOTE: Only use supplied 12 Volt DC Adapter (Oliso® part number VSA201)

Care and Maintenance

The Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer is an electrical appliance. Never rinse or submerge the unit in water. Certain removable plastic parts can be rinsed and washed with warm soapy water.

The drip tray catches liquid runoff and should be regularly cleaned after vacuum sealing MOIST food. It is removable and can be washed with warm, soapy water or in the top rack of the dishwasher. The tray separates into two pieces for easy cleaning.

NOTE: There may be some resistance the first time you disassemble the drip tray.

1 Unplug the Oliso PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer. Use the finger indentation to pull out the drip tray.

2 With the back of the drip tray facing you, lightly grasp the bottom portion (do not squeeze). Slowly but firmly lift up the drip tray lid.

3 Remove the orange gasket. Do not remove the black rubber ring. Wash each piece with warm soapy water. Dry completely before reassembling.

It is best to store the Flexi Tube hose in a loose knot (like a pretzel) to avoid pinching or deforming the hose. Remember this hose is for use with use with canisters, bottle stoppers and Mason jar lid sealers. It is designed for a universal fit and works with many brands of vacuum sealers.

Take caution not to vacuum any liquid into the Flexi Tube. If you see liquid in the tube, press STOP VACUUM immediately. Clean the Flexi Tube promptly.

Storing Your Oilso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer

Always unplug the vacuum sealer when not in use. The OlisbPRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer is small enough to stay on your counter. It can also be stored in a cabinet or drawer.

Troubleshooting

Does it matter which side of the bag is facing up when I am vacuum sealing?

No, it does not matter. However, it might be helpful to insert the Vac-Snap® bag with the print side up so you can use the indicator circles as guides.

What can I do to protect fragile food?

Par-freeze items in an unzipped Vac-Snap ^® bag for 15-25 minutes. Check the food to ensure it is semi-solid. Zip the bag shut and proceed to sealing. Alternatively, place fragile foods in a sturdy container that will fit inside a Vac-Snap ^® bag. Close the container, place it into a Vac-Snap ^® bag, then seal.

Why Is the bag Insert area blocked?

If the Oliso ^® PRO ^™ Smart Vacuum Sealer was unplugged before the READY light was illuminated, the mechanism in the punch and seal area may not have fully retracted. Reset the Oliso ^® PRO ^™ Smart Vacuum Sealer by unplugging, then replugging. Wait 5 seconds until the READY light is illuminated before proceeding.

What do I do if the Oliso® PRO™ Smart Vacuum Sealer will not release the Vac-Snap® bag?

If the Oliso ^® PRO ^™ Smart Vacuum Sealer will not release the Vac-Snap ^® bag, unplug the vacuum sealer and try to remove the Vac-Snap ^® bag. This should reset the machine. Wait 3 seconds before plugging the vacuum sealer in again.

Quick Tips

Pressing the STOP VACUUM mid-cycle allows you to create a partial vacuum without crushing fragile foods.

Vac-Snap ^® bags are for MOIST and DRY goods. Wet items such as soup, marinades or sauces must be par-frozen before vacuum sealing.

Look at the seal after you finish a cycle to ensure that it shows a uniform melt ring. If this is not the case, line up the partial seal with the arrow on the drip tray. Slide the bag to the "bag line" and reseal.

Do not vacuum seal over the zipper edge as you will not be able to completely reseal the bag. Follow the pre-printed indicator circles on the Vac-Snap® bag as a guide for sealing. Do not seal over the zipper edge.

Vac-Snap ^® bags are one-time microwaveable and simmer safe. Do NOT boil Vac-Snap ^® bags.

Always use the Zip-Disc ^® to ensure that Vac-Snap ^® bags are securely closed.

To protect fragile foods like soft cheese or bread, you can pre-freeze the items in an unzipped Vac-Snapag for 15-25 minutes. When the food is semi-solid, zip the bag shut and proceed to sealing.

You can also protect fragile foods by placing the items in a sturdy container, then inserting it into the Vac-Snap® bag. Proceed to sealing.
