Supreme Vacuum Sealer
Hints and Tips
■ Do not overfill the bags; leave enough space at the
open end of the bag so that the bag can be placed
on the removable interface more positively.
■ Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may
be difficult to melt and seal tightly.
■ Clean and straighten the open end of the bag
before sealing. Make sure nothing is left on the
open area of the bag, no wrinkle or creased lines
should appear on the open panel, foreign objects or
creased bags may cause difficulty to seal tightly.
■ Do not vacuum package objects with sharp points
like fish bones and hard shells. Sharp points may
penetrate and tear the bag. You may want to use a
container instead of a bag.
■ Let the vacuum sealer rest for 1 minute, after each
sealing or vacuum sealing.
■ During bag vacuum packaging process, small
amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be
inadvertently pulled into removable interface,
clogging the pump and damaging your appliance.
To avoid this: freeze moist and juicy foods first
before sealing bags or place a folded paper towel
near the inside top of the bag. For powdery or
fine-grained foods, avoid overfilling bags. You may
also place a coffee filter inside before vacuum
packaging.
■ Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before
vacuum packing for best results.
■ Juices and moisture in foods can prevent a good
seal, therefore, we recommend to pre-freeze food
for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging. An
alternative method is to fold a paper towel. Fill the
bag with food and lay flat. Place the folded towel
so it lies between the top of the bag and the food.
Ensure that the paper towel is below the sealing
strip. When you vacuum seal, the paper towel will
absorb the excess moisture.
■ Liquids need to be cooled before vacuum packing.
Hot liquids will bubble up and over the top of the
jar when vacuum packed. Note: A jar attachment is
necessary for sealing jars.
■ Use canning lids that have been checked for flaws.
To create and keep a good vacuum, soak lids in
boiling water for 3 minutes and rub a drop of
mineral oil on the gasket. This will lubricate and
hydrate the gasket. After vacuum packing, you may
use the metal rim that comes with the jar in order to
hold the lid in place. This rim is meant to assist in
keeping the vacuum sealed lid secure.
■ Store perishable foods in the freezer or refrigerator.
Vacuum packing extends the shelf life of foods, but
does not preserve them.
