IMPORTANT TIPS

1. Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for the heat process of canning. Perishables still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
2. For best results, use only with KURSINNA Bags Containers and Accessories.
3. During the vacuum packaging process, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles ca n be inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Cha nnel. Empty the Drip Tray after each use.
4. Avoid overfilling, always leave at least 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) of bag material between b ag contents and top of bag. This allows room for the bag material to cinch tightly against the food and prevents the bag from pulling out of the vacuum channel during the sealing process. Then leave at least one additional inch of bal g material for each time you plan to reuse bag.
5. Do not create your own side seams for a KURS INNA Bag. These bags are manufactured with a special side seam, which is sealed all the way to the outer edge.
6. To prevent wrinkles in the seal when vacuum packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat while inserting bag into vacuum channel and continue to hold bag until vacuum pump starts.
7. When you are vacuum packaging items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.), protect bag from punctures by wrapping item in soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel. You may want to use a canister or Mason jar instead of a bag.
8. When using accessories, remember to leave o ne inch of space at top of canister or container.
9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum packaging for best results. See “Guidelines for Vacuum Packaging” section.
10. 120v Appliances Only: The KURSINNA appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify plug in any way.
11. Caution: A short power cord is provided to reduce risks from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used when marked electrical rating is no less than electrical rating of this appliance. All cords should not drape over counter or tabletops where cords can be tripped over or pulled on unintentionally, especially by children.

If vacuum sealing with an accessory, check Handheld Sealer connections to ensure a tight fit.

Notice:

1. This product provides very high vacuum pressure during vacuum packaging with a bag, in order to avoid crushing of the delicate item by the high vacuum pressure, observe the status of the vacuum pressure inside the back and switch the “SEAL” button immediately when the desired vacuum pressure is achieved. The machine will then stop the pump and change to heat-seal the bag.
2. The machine is made for home uses only. It is recommended that there shall be some coo I-off period in between each use of this product. The machine shall be operated only one time in one minute, and shall not be continuously used this way for over 10 times. Otherwise, the machine would get too hot and would require minimum 15 minutes cool-off time before use it again
