WARNINGS

• Do not use the device if it, or parts of it, are visibly damaged.

• Protect the device from the elements (humidity, dirt, heat). This sealer can only be used in dry environments – do not use it outside.
• Never submerge this appliance in water or any other liquid.
• Never use the appliance near a water point.
• Do not use the appliance while your hands are wet.
• Sucking in liquid can affect the performance and even damage the sealer. If a small volume of liquid goes into this sealer by accident, it can be drained from the Liquid Outlet. However, liquids such as coffee, fruit juice and oil can’t be drain completely drained, thus affecting the sealer performance in an irreversible way.
• Don’t vacuum seal raw carrots, onions, garlic, cabbages, and lettuce because they release natural gasses that affect vacuum level.
• Use only vaccum zipper bags and plastic/glass containers that are suitable for this sealer.

CLEANING

1. Do not immerse the sealer in water. Sucking in liquid will affect the performance and even damage the sealer. But if small liquid amount goes into this sealer by accident, it can be drained from the Liquid Outlet.
2. Do not use abrasive cleansers.
3. Clean the sealer surface with a clean, damp, soft cloth as often as needed.
4. Clean the sealer’s silicone seal and the area under it regularly in the following way:
   • remove the silicone seal and wash it under the faucet. Allow it dry completely;
   • once the silicone seal is out, you will find a small piece of round black sponge in the air inlet hole – this is the air filter. Take it out and clean it carefully with water. Then dry it and place it back in the air inlet hole;
   • clean the area under the silicon seal with a wet cloth.

STORAGE

Store the device away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight when not in use for a long period of time.

INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO USE

Note: The vacuum sealer is powered by 4 AA batteries, which are not included.

• Press the battery cover hook to open the battery compartment.
• Place the batteries in the battery compartment, following the positive/negative electrode instructions found on the top of the battery compartment.
• Replace the battery cover.
• Press the power button. The vacuum sealer should start working and make some noise.
• The LED indicator will also be switched on. This LED indicator will show you vacuum and battery level. The LED indicator will flash once vacuum reaches the preset level. It will also flash when the battery level is low.

USING EASYVAC ZIPPER BAGS

1. Place the food inside the vacuum zipper bag and make sure the zipper is secure. Avoid overfilling the bag.
2. Lay the bag flat, on a stable solid surface. Make sure the area of the valve is flat and free from any obstructions.
3. Attach the sealer to the bag valve and press the power button to start the vacuum process. You may have to hold the sealer and press it down gently.
4. Once the air is extracted from the bag, the LED indicator will flash for a few seconds and then the sealer will automatically stop.
5. Remove the sealer and press the bag valve with your finger to remove any air bubbles (this can help prevent the valve from leaking). Place the bag with food in the fridge or pantry.

Important tips

• For juicy food like tomato, berries or salad leaves and delicate ingredients, we recommend you not extracting all the air or they might end up crushed by the vacuum sealing process. You can use the plastic or glass containers for these foods as an alternative.
• Do not vacuum seal liquids in zipper bags. Use the glass or plastic containers for soups, sauces, and juices.
• Avoid overfilling the zipper bags and make sure the valve lays flat. When vacuum sealing zipper bags, small amounts of crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently pulled into the valve, creating a possible air leak.
• Do not place foods with sharp ends in the zipper bags. It may cause damage and create an air leak.

USING EASYVAC PLASTIC/GLASS CONTAINERS

1. Place food inside the container. Set the lid on top and apply some pressure with both hands to snap into place and prepare the container for vacuum sealing.
2. Attach the sealer to the container lid and press the power button.
3. The LED indicator light will flash for a few seconds once it reaches the preset vacuum level and the sealer will automatically stop. Remove the sealer and place the container in the fridge or pantry.

Important tips

• While most fruits and vegetables stay fresher for longer when vacuum sealed, raw bananas and mushrooms may actually deteriorate faster due to their natural ripening process.
• Don’t vacuum seal raw carrots, onions, garlic, cabbage, and lettuce because they release natural gasses that affect vacuum level.
• Sucking in liquid can affect the performance and even damage the sealer. If a small volume of liquid goes into this sealer by accident, it can be drained from the Liquid Outlet. However, liquids such as coffee, fruit juice and oil can’t be completely drained, thus affecting the sealer performance in an irreversible way.
• Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for the refrigerator or freezer. Perishables still need to be refrigerated.
• Vacuum packaging doesn’t extend the food expiration date. Food will be safe to eat within the expiration date printed on the product’s original packaging.
