7. When using a canister, remember to leave 2cm from thecanisterr cover rim, and make sure the upper lid is already locked before vacuuming.

IMPORTANT: Do not reuse the vacuum sealer bags after using

FOOD STORAGE/PRESERVATION GUIDELINES

The Vacuum Sealer will change the way you purchase and store food. The Vacuum Sealer removes air from the specially designed vacuum sealer bags and canisters to create a commercial-quality vacuum. The ease and convenience of preserving and extending the freshness of your food with the Vacuum seal will become an indispensable part of your food preparation. The Vacuum Sealer removes air from specially designed bags and canisters to extend food freshness up to 5 times longer than conventional storage methods. Oxygen and moisture in the the air cause food to degrade over time, by removing the air before sealing items airtight the Vacuum Sealer extends the life of food naturally. Vacuum sealing is not intended to replace the refrigeration or freezing of foods, food should still be refrigerated or frozen if normally required.
IMPORTANT: It is best to vacuum seal fresh food, vacuum sealing will not restore or revive food past its prime. Do not consume food that has gone bad.

NOTE: Storage preservation charts are estimates only and should be used as a guide only. The storage life will depend on the original quality of the foods and the integrity of the packages.

HINTS & TIPS

• Before vacuum sealing, it is necessary to clean your hands and all utensils and surfaces to be used for cutting and vacuum sealing foods.
• Refrigerate or freeze perishable foods immediately, if they have been vacuum sealed do not leave them sitting at room temperature.
  NOTE: It may be harmful if you consume foods that have been left out at room temperature.
• Store dry foods such as nuts, biscuits, or, cereals, in a cool, dark dry place.
• Vacuum-sealedd bags prevent freezer burn. Foods that thaw easily should be placed at the back of the freezer where the temperature is more constant. When thawing foods it is best to thaw foods in the refrigerator. Never thaw meats, poultry, fish, or dairy at room temperature or in hot water. If thawing food by microwave, foods should be cooked immediately after processing to prevent bacteria growth.
• Pro-line vacuum sealer bags and rolls are microwave-safe. To microwave cut off one corner of the bag so that steam can escape and place it in the microwave.
• Pro-line vacuum sealer bags and rolls are simmered/boil-safe. Place the bag into a pot of boiling water with the top of the bag above the water for easy removal.
  NOTE: Bags or rolls are not reusable if they have been microwaved or simmered/boiled.
• To freeze soups and sauces pour liquid into a bag, allowing at least 8cm of space at the top of the bag (this allows space for expansion of liquid when frozen and sealing space for the bag). Do not seal at this point. Place the filled liquid bag upright into a freezer, when the liquid is frozen, remove the bag from the freezer and vacuum seal.
• Vacuum sealing fruits, for best results pre-freeze cut soft fruit before vacuum sealing. This helps prevent the fruit from being crushed during the vacuum process.
• Vegetables, for best results, blanch vegetables in hot water otherwise they may turn black. Blanch so that vegetables are still crunchy, then transfer immediately into icy cold water to cool. Drain and separate into convenient portions then vacuum seal in bags.
• Vacuum sealing poultry and whole fish, for best result, ts wash poultry and pat dry with a paper towel. Then place foods between two paper towels inside the bag before vacuum sealing. The paper towels help to absorb excess moisture and juices.
• Vacuum sealing red meats and fish fillets – for best results, pat dry with a paper towel. Then place foods between two paper towels inside the bag before vacuum sealing. The paper towels help to absorb excess moisture and juices.
  NOTE: Vacuum sealing may cause the meat to darken. This is due to the removal of oxygen and does not indicate spoilage.
• Pro-line Vacuusealers can also protect non-food items from oxidation, corrosion, and moisture. Simply store and seal items in a Pro-line vacuum bag and follow the “Storing food in a vacuum bag” instructions.
• Vacuum seal items to help keep them dry, and take up less room for storage e.g. camping, batteries, important documents, traveling, and emergency equipment.
• Vacuum seal wet paint brushes between paint jobs without cleaning, it keeps them moist and saves on clean-up time.
• Use the canisters to store delicate items such as berries, biscuits, and salad lea,ves or use to store sauces or soups.
• The marinate bowl is a great solution for marinating meats in minutes, not hours, as vacuum sealing opens the pores in foods such as meat, poultry, and seafood allowing foods to absorb marinades in a fraction of the time.
• For the busy family, on-the-go meals can be prepared ahead and vacuum sealed in individual servings, ready to heat at any time.
• Prepare food in advance for picnics camping trips or barbecues.
• To make an ice pack, pour water into a bag, allowing at least 8cm of space at the top of the bag (this allows space for the expansion of liquid when frozen and sealing space for the bag). Do not seal at this point. Place the filled liquid bag upright into a freezer, when the liquid is frozen, remove the bag from the freezer and vacuum seal. Use ice in the cooler orr ice packs for sports injuries.
• Primarily the vacuum sealer is used for vacuum sealing, however, you can reseal foil-based bags such as chip and biscuit bags using the manual seal function.

STORING YOUR VACUUM PRESERVATION SYSTEM
The condition of the upper gasket and lower gasket parts on your VacuuSealer are critical to the forming of an air-tight seal around the bag when the cover is locked in position. Food debris or deformation of the gaskets due to the machine being stored in a locked position can affect the ability of the machine to evacuate air from the bag successfully. To prevent this:

• Always store the machine in an unlocked position. To do this start with the cover in the open position, push the cover lock handle down to the lock position but with the cover still open, then close the cover. This will enable you to shut the unit but not deform the gaskets.
• Regularly inspect the upper and lower gaskets to ensure they are clean, in good condition, and not deformed (compressed).

If your machine is failing to remove air from the bag, it may be due to the gaskets. If this happens:

1. Inspect upper and lower gasket and ensure they are clean and in good condition and that they sealed correctly.
2. If no damage is apparent, the gaskets may be deformed (compressed).
3. Remove the gaskets, turn them upside down, and replace them in the machine.
4. If these steps fail then replace the gaskets with a replacement kit from Pro-line Australia’s online store, code VS-GASKET-C4L Keep the unit in a flat and safe place, out of the reach of children.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

It is important to ensure that all parts of your Vacuum Sealer sealing system are cleaned regularly. Follow the care and cleaning guidelines below:

1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.
3. Do not use abrasive cleaners to clean the unit.
4. Wipe the outside of the unit with a damp cloth, sponge, or mild dish soap.
5. Wipe away food residue and water inside or around components with a paper towel.
6. Dry thoroughly before use.

Cleaning Vacuum Bags

1. Wash bag material in warm water with a mild dishwashing soap.
2. Alternatively, bags can be washed on the top rack in your dishwasher by turning the bag inside out. Stand the bags up so that the washing water can rinse the entire surface.

NOTE: Do not reuse the vacuum sealer bags after using them with raw meat, fish, or poultry or after the bag has been heated, i.e. microwave or simmer.

Cleaning Gaskets
Remove upper and lower gaskets from the indentation location and wash with warm soapy water then rinse thoroughly. Ensure gaskets are completely dry before installing them back into the indentation location. The gaskets mustn’t be out of shape or damaged in any manner otherwise air air-tight seal will not be formed when the cover is closed.

Cleaning Accessories (Including canister base and hose accessories.)

1. Wash all vacuum accessories in warm water with mild dishwashing soap (except canister lids.)
2. Canisters (not lids) are top-rack dishwasher safe. Canister and marinated bowl lids should be wiped down with a damp cloth and must not be immersed in water.
3. Ensure all accessories are thoroughly dried before use.

NOTE: Canister lids are not to be used in microwaves or freezers.
