This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not completely fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
-
A short power supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great asthe electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
parts & Features
using your SUPERSEAL™ VACUUM SEALER
Vacuum
Used with the Suction Tube and Resealable Bags. Activates only the vacuum. The
indicator light will turn on when the sealing process has started.
Food – Switches settings between Dry and Moist. Once the appliance is
plugged in, one of these will always be lit.
Dry – Suitable for anything without liquids, like dry goods, meat and
vegetables.
Moist – Suitable for anything with moist ingredients, like marinated
meats.
Seal – Activates only the sealer. Perfect for Sous Vide and resealing Mylar bags. After cutting a desired amount of plastic from your Plastic Bag Roll, use this to create a seal on one end, then fill your bag. If desired, apply two seals for extra\ protection, but NEVER apply a seal on top of another seal: always apply the second seal alongside the first.
Vacuum & Seal / Cancel
Used with Single-Use Bags. Starts a cycle of both vacuuming and sealing.
The appliance automatically shuts off when finished, but use this to cancel a
cycle early when vacuum sealing delicate things (like bread or baked goods),
preserving their shap.
SINGLE-USE BAGS & BAG CUTTER
Place the appliance on a stable and dry surface and plug it in. To create a
plastic bag, unroll the Plastic Bag Roll and drape a desired amount over the
top of the device (photo A).
Attach the Magnetic Bag Cutter to the grooves on the back of the vacuum
sealer, over the draped plastic (or if the cutter is already attached, remove
and reattach cutter over the draped plastic) (photo B). Cut the plastic while
securely holding the cutter in place, holding from either the left or right
side.
Create a seal on one side of your bag by opening the device and placing one
of the open sides of the plastic on the Sealing Strip, aligning the end of the
plastic with the strip (photo C).
Close the device by pushing down the cover. Make sure both sides snap
in: you’ll hear a click on each side when it’s properly closed. Press the Seal
button to create a seal. Once the light is off, the seal is complete. To open
the sealer again, push the Open Buttons on each side of the sealer at the
same time. (photo D).
TIP: For extra strength, apply a second seal next to your first seal by
repeating Steps 3 & 4 with the unsealed plastic next to your first seal. DO
NOT apply a second seal over your first seal. Add what you’d like to seal to
the open side of your plastic bag. You MUST keep the top two inches (2”) of
your bag free of solids or liquids for it to vacuum seal properly (photo E)
Open the device and press the open side of your plastic bag into the Vacuum
Channel. Close the device and use the Food button to choose either Dry and
Moist, depending on what you’re vacuum sealing (photo F).
Press the Vacuum & Seal button (Vac Seal / Cancel) to vacuum seal your
goods. The light above the Vacuum & Seal button will automatically shut off
when finished (photo G
RESEALABLE BAGS
Fill a Resealable Bag with what you’d like to vacuum seal. You MUST keep the
top two inches (2”) of your bag free of solids or liquids for it to vacuum
seal properly. Close the bag by running your fingers along the seal at the
top, making sure it is completely shut (photo A).
Close your vacuum sealer firmly and correctly: it will not vacuum seal if left
open. Plug the plastic side of the Suction Tube into the Port on the right
side of the device. Make sure it’s in all the way (photo B).
Cover the plastic vent on your Resealable Bag with the silicone end of the
Suction Tube. Be careful not to press the end of the tube down too hard,
as this will make it harder to properly vacuum seal. You can gently apply
pressure or use your fingers to keep the edges of the silicone suction cup
held down while the device is in use (photo C).
Press the Vacuum button to vacuum seal your goods. Be sure to hold the
silicone end of the Suction Tube in place while the device is in use (as
described in Step 3). The light above the Vacuum button will automatically
shut off when finished. (photo D)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- After 15 consecutive vacuum seal cycles, the Vacuum Sealer must rest for 15 minutes. This prevents the device from overheating. Failing to do so may damage the product. Every 15 cycles, the sealer will enter a safety protocol where it cannot be used for two minutes
- When sealing with either the Resealable or Single-Use Bags, you must leave at least two inches (2”) of space at the top of the bag. This allows room for the plastic to close tightly around the contents of the bag and prevents it from pulling out of the Vacuum Channel during sealing.
- When sealing delicate items, like breads or baked goods, press the Vacuum & Seal / Cancel button to stop a cycle early and preserve their shape.
- While sealing, small amounts of liquids, solids or food particles may be pulled into the Vacuum Channel. Check the Channel before every cycle and wipe clean if necessary.
- For best results, only use the included Single Use and Resealable bags.
- Vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for the heat process of canning. Perishables still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
- Do not create your own seals on the sides of the Single-Use bags, these are made by the manufacturer and do not require an additional seal.
- If you are vacuum sealing items with sharp edges or corners, wrap them in a soft or cushioning material to protect the bag from punctures.
cleaning & maintenance
The SuperSeal Vacuum Sealer is NOT dishwasher-safe. To clean, wipe parts with a damp towel or non-abrasive sponge and dry. Both Foam Gaskets can be removed and wiped clean. The Reusable Plastic bags can be hand washed with soap and water. When storing the vacuum sealer, do NOT fully close the Cover into the base of the sealer: this will compress the gaskets over time and may damage them. To ensure the longevity of your product, store with the Cover closed but not locked into the base
