Operating Your Vacuum Sealer To make a bag: 1. Place the unit on a firm, level surface near an electrical outlet. 2. Insert the roll of bagging material into the roll compartment in the sealer. We recommend you use only the plastic material supplied by Deni, for Freshlock models. 3. Put the “Heat Selector” switch on medium. 4. Plug into an AC electrical outlet. 5. Make sure the selector switch is in the “cut-bag” position. 6. Pull the bagging material over the sealing wires.
4 Vacuum sealing: 1. Place the item to be stored inside the bag. Do not fill completely. Allow a margin of 2 to 3 inches between the item and the open end of the bag. Make sure that the sealing area is free from liquid or food particles. 2. Tilt the vacuum nozzle up. Place the open end of the bag over the sealing wires and insert the vacuum nozzle completely inside the bag. Press down on the vacuum nozzle to lock the bottom layer of the bag in place.
cooking methods. Do not boil for longer than approximately 20 minutes. Foods can be cooked straight from the freezer, but it is recommended that large quantities are defrosted prior to cooking. Microwave cooking: 1. Place bag on a microwave safe plate or dish. 2. Puncture bag several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during microwave cooking. Consult your microwave instruction booklet on heating commercially prepared boil-in-bags for times.
Heat Selector Switch: By adjusting the heat selector switch, you can use your vacuum sealer to seal many other plastic bags of different thicknesses as well as plastic-line foil wrap (i.e. potato chip bags). When sealing FRESHLOCK bags from the supplied polyethylene roll, use the medium setting. In general, when sealing plastic that is about the same thickness as the FRESHLOCK bags, use the medium setting. When sealing plastic that is thicker, use the high setting.
n n The white stripe on the bag is for labeling. Always make sure to remove the excess plastic from around the vacuum nozzle after you have finished sealing a bag. n When packing boiling foods, allow them to cool for 5 minutes before packing. n We recommend waiting one minute between each sealing operation. n To maintain a high-integrity sealing action, frequently clean the sealing wires. n Boil-in-bag foods retain their flavor, the saucepan remains cleaner, cooking odors are reduced, and it saves energy.
