CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Before cleaning, assembling or disassembling the Vacuum Sealer, make sure the Vacuum Sealer is OFF and the PLUG IS REMOVED FROM THE OUTLET/POWER SOURCE!

. NEVER IMMERSE the Vacuum Sealer in water or other liquid.

. Make sure the Vacuum Sealer has completely cooled before cleaning it.

. Wipe clean all outside surfaces including the Plastic Vacuum Chamber and Vacuum Lid with a damp cloth or paper towel. Most household spray cleaners are safe to use. Avoid spraying directly into the vent on the left side of the unit. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers! Abrasive cleansers will spoil the clarity of the Vacuum Lid.

. Be careful while cleaning not to peel or damage the strips of Seal Bar Tape covering the Seal Bar Heating Element and Vacuum Lid Seal.

. Dry all surfaces and close the Vacuum Lid before storing the Vacuum Sealer.

VACUUM CHAMBER SEALS

There are two factory-installed Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals on the Vacuum Sealer. When the Vacuum Lid is closed and downward force applied, they form an airtight seal so the Vacuum Chamber can be evacuated.

The Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals may wear over time and require replacement. See the “Service Instructions” section of this manual for information on replacing the Oval Vacuum Chamber Seals, if necessary.

COOLING FAN

The Vacuum Sealer has an Internal Cooling Fan that runs whenever the unit is plugged in and turned on. To save energy, turn the unit "OFF" and unplug the Power Cord when not in use.

THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR

The Vacuum Sealer will automatically shut down if it overheats. If this occurs, turn the unit off and open the Vacuum Lid. Resume normal operation after the unit cools about 20 minutes.

To help prevent overheating, wait at least 20 seconds between cycles with the Vacuum Lid open. Avoid touching the Seal Bar Tape. The Seal Bar Tape will remain hot for a brief period of time after each sealing cycle.

LIMIT SWITCH

The Vacuum Sealer is equipped with a switch to prevent actuation of the Seal Bar Heating Element in manual mode when the Vacuum Lid is open. When the Vacuum Lid is closed, heat made by the Seal Bar Heating Element is absorbed by the vacuum bag and Vacuum Lid Seal.

When the Vacuum Lid is open, there is no means to dissipate the heat and unit damage may occur.

NOTE: The Vacuum Sealer is ONLY intended to be used with VACUUM BAGS. For best results, only use the recommended vacuum bags with an embossed or mesh lining. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS! Any other uses of the Vacuum Sealer, other than the uses described in this booklet, could potentially damage the appliance and void the warranty!

STORAGE LIFESPAN GUIDELINES

. IMPORTANT NOTE: Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration. Vacuum packed perishable foods still require refrigeration.
. NEVER thaw frozen foods at room temperature. Thaw frozen foods in a refrigerator or microwave oven.
. In general, the colder the temperature at which foods are stored, the longer the shelf life.
. Handle vacuum sealer bags with care. Avoid damaging them. A damaged bag will not hold a seal.
. Only use information in the following chart as a guideline! Refer to the “Vacuum Packaging Guidelines” and “Food Safety” sections of this manual. Actual storage life spans may vary. Check all food for spoilage before use.

FOOD TYPE	STORAGE LOCATION	NORMAL LIFE	VACUUM PACKED LIFE
LARGE CUTS OF MEAT Freezer 6 months 2-3 yearsGROUND MEAT Freezer 4 months 1 yearFISH Freezer 6 months 2 yearsFor best results, freeze meats & fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum packing to help prevent moisture and juices from interfering with the seal of the vacuum bag.
COFFEE BEANS Room temperature 4 weeks 16 monthsCOFFEE BEANS Freezer 6-9 months 2-3 yearsFLOUR, RICE, SUGAR Room Temperature 6 months 1-2 yearsFor best results, powder or grainy substances should be kept in their original container or bag, then placed in a vacuum bag for sealing to prevent interfering with the seal of the vacuum bag.
BERRIES strawberries, raspberries, blackberriesBERRIES cranberries, huckleberries, blueberries	Refrigerator	1-3 days	1 week
	Refrigerator	3-6 days	2 weeks
To prevent berries from being crushed by the vacuum sealer, it is best to freeze item before packing. Spread the berries out on a cookie sheet to allow them to freeze individually. Berries frozen in a large block will be difficult to vacuum seal due to the many small air pockets that would form between the berries.
CHEESEIf vacuum packed cheese is used often, make sure the vacuum bag is long enough to allow for repeated sealing. For shredded cheese, place a paper towel inside the vacuum bag, oil top of the cheese to prevent the cheese from being sucked into the Vacuum Sealer or interfering with the sealing of the bag.
COOKIES, CRACKERS, BREADS with periodical opening Freeze soft airy foods for 1-2 hours prior vacuum packing, to retain shape & texture.	Room Temperature	1-2 weeks	3-6 weeks
PASTA, GRAINS, DRIED BEANSNUTSDried foods with sharp edges should be wrapped in a paper towel or other matter to prevent the sharp edges from puncturing the vacuum bag.	Room Temperature	6 months	1-1/2 years
	Room Temperature	6 months	2 years
LETTUCEWash & thoroughly dry leafy vegetables before vacuum packaging.	Refrigerator	3-6 days	2 weeks
VEGETABLESTo maximize the taste of vegetables, blanch them before vacuum packaging. Blanching cooks the vegetables very briefly, sealing in the flavor, color and texture, leaving the vegetables cooked but still crisp. Vegetables can be blanched in boiling water in the microwave, most vegetables only require 2-3 minutes (corn on the cob requires 6-11 minutes). Then immerse the vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking process. Dry the vegetables, then vacuum pack.

FOOD SAFETY

There are basic rules to follow when handling food. They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.

COOK

It's crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present. The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least 160°F to 165°F (71°C to 74°C), bacteria will not be destroyed and there's a good chance you will get sick.

Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don't have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 165°F (75°C) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 145°F (63°C).

SEPARATE

Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter.

When grilling or cooking raw meats or fish, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter. Don't use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.

Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a major cause of cross-contamination.

CLEAN

Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.

CHILL

Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40° F and 140° F ( 4° C and 6° C). Your refrigerator should be set to 40° F ( 4° C) or below; your freezer should be 0° F (-17°C) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chafing dishes or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90° F ( 32° C) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won't chill food - it just keeps food cold when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.

NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it can become heavily contaminated during field dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and food safety.
