HELPFUL HINTS

Do not overfull the bags, leave enough length at the opening of the bag so that it can be placed in the vacuum chamber easily.
Ensure that the opening the bag is not wet. A wet bag may be difficult to melt and seal tightly.
Vacuum seal can not completely replace the refrigeration and freeze.
Perishable foods still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
Make the opening of plastic bags clean and flat, no foreign objects or folds allowed, otherwise it will cause difficulty or leak during seal.
To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently stretch bag flat while inserting into the vacuum chamber and hold it until the pump begins to work.
When you are vacuum sealing items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware etc.), protect the bag from punctures by wrapping item in soft cushioning material, such as tissue paper, you may need a canister or container instead of a bag.
When using accessories, remember to leave 2.5CM (1-inch) of space at top of canister or container.
Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for the best results.
Intervals for 40 seconds after seal or vacuum is recommended.
If you are unsure whether your bag was sealed properly, just reseal the bag.

AIR IS STILL IN THE BAG AFTER

Make sure the opening of the bag is placed entirely inside Vacuum Chamber.
AIR IS STILL IN THE BAG AFTER VACUUM: Examine the bag if it leaks. Seal bag with air, then immerse it in water and apply pressure. Bubbles indicates a leak, use a new bag if bubbles appear.
If you use a Nutrichef Bag with customized size, check the seal of the bag. A wrinkle in the bag along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter, just cut bag and reseal.
Do not attempt to make your own side seams for an Nutrichef Bag, the bags are manufactured with special side seams, which are sealed all the way to the outer edge. Making your own side seams may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter.

AIR WAS REMOVED FROM THE BAG, BUT NOW AIR HAS RE-ENTERED

Examine seal of bag. A wrinkle along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to enter, simply cut bag and reseal.
Sometimes moisture or food material (such as juices, grease, crumbs, powders, etc.) along seal prevents bag from sealing properly. Cut bag, wipe top inside of bag and reseal.
If you vacuum package sharp food items, bag may have been punctured, use a new bag if there is a hole. Cover sharp food items with a soft cushioning material, such as a tissue paper, and reseal.
If there’s still air in the bag, fermentation or the release of natural gases from inside the foods may have occurred, when this happens, food may have begun to spoil and should be discarded.

THE BAG MELTS:
If the bag melts, rubber lip may have become too hot, always wait at least 5 minutes for appliance to cool down before you vacuum package another item.

NUTRICHEF BAGS AND ROLLS
The design of Nutrichef Bags and Rolls features special channels that enable the efficient and complete removal of air. The multiply construction makes them an specially effective barrier to oxygen and moisture, preventing freezer burn. Nutrichef Bags and Rolls can be provided with a variety of sizes.

IMPORTANT:
To avoid possible illness, do not reuse bags after storing raw meats, raw fish or greasy foods. Do not reuse bags that have been microwaved or simmered.

NUTRICHEF VACUUM PACKAGING CANISTERS
Nutrichef Canisters are simple to use and ideal for vacuum packaging delicate items such as muffins and other baked goods, liquids and dry goods.

The canisters can be provided with a variety of styles and sizes and can be used on the countertop, in the refrigerator or in the pantry. The Quick Marinator is an excellent way to marinate foods in minutes instead of hours. Any Nutrichef Canisters can be used for marinating, but we recommend the square or rectangular shapes because less marinade is needed.

Don’t use the canister in the freezer. The stackable, lightweight containers are a convenient option to store make-ahead meals, leftovers and snacks.

Note: Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before vacuum packaging, otherwise, contents may bubble up out of canister.

NUTRICHEF BOTTLE STOPPER
Use Nutrichef Bottle Stoppers to vacuum package wine, non-carbonated liquids and oils. This will extend the life of the liquid and preserve the flavor. Don’t use the Bottle Stopper on plastic bottles.

Note: Do not vacuum package carbonated or sparkling beverages as gas removal will cause them to go flat.
