SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ® FEATURES Roll Compartment Sealing Wire Vacuum Nozzle Seal Indicator Light (Green) Vacuum Indicator Light (Red) 2 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 in the roll compartment in the sealer. We recommend you use only the plastic material supplied by Deni, for Freshlock models. 3. Plug into an AC electrical outlet. 4. When starting a new roll, remove the sticker from the outside of the roll. Pull the bagging material 1 inch past the sealing wire. Close the lid. NOTE: The roll is folded into a double layer. 5. Close the lid and press down equally on both the left and right sides of the lid. Both indicator lights will light up. In about 6 seconds the green “Seal” indicator light will go out and the seal is complete. 6. Lift the lid and tear off the excess bagging material. NOTE: When closing the lid and applying pressure, two distinct clicks will be heard. These are the switches which operate the two functions of the bag sealer. 3 7. After the roll is started, pull the bagging material to the desired bag width and seal/cut by closing the lid and pressing down on both sides of the lid. NOTE: The first side of the bag will be sealed from the previous seal. 8. When the green “Seal” light goes out, peel the finished bag off the wire, ensuring no bagging material adheres to the sealing wire. Now you have a bag sealed on three sides ready to be filled and vacuum sealed. NOTE: The bottom of the bag is where the white label strip is. Sealing a filled bag without vacuum action: 1. Make sure no food or liquid remains in the top portion of the bag where the seal will be made. This may interfere with the effectiveness of the seal. 2. Place the open end of the bag over the sealing wire, making sure that the bagging material is flat, with no creases along the line of the seal. 3. Close the lid and press down on both sides of the lid, until the green “Seal” light goes out. NOTE: Remove the bag from the wire immediately after the green “Seal” light goes off. If the bag starts to cool it may stick to the wire and create a hole in the seal when pulled off the wire. ® 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. Place the open end of the bag over the sealing wire and insert the vacuum nozzle completely inside the bag. Note: The bottom layer of the bag should be under the nozzle and the top layer of the bag should be over the nozzle. 2. Close the lid and press lightly with your left hand on the left side of the lid to activate the vacuum motor. Only the red “Vacuum” light will illuminate. The air will be extracted from the bag. DO NOT press down on the middle or right side of the lid, this will block the flow of air. 3. When the air extraction is complete, continue to press the left side of the lid and press your right hand down firmly on the right side of the lid. A second click will be heard and the green “Seal” indicator will light up. When the “Seal” light goes out, the bag is sealed. NOTE: It is not advisable to extract air from bags containing liquid. The liquid can easily be drawn into the working mechanism and cause damage. “Boil-in-bag” reheating: Foods cooked with the boil-in-bag method retain a high level of flavor and nutrients. As an added precaution, it is recommended that food in a Freshlock bag be placed inside a second, larger Freshlock bag and vacuum sealed before cooking. Boil-in-bag cooking is great for vegetables, fruits, casseroles, soups, stews, and fish. 1. Put the bag in boiling water and bring to a boil again. Do not cover. Do not puncture. 2. Reduce heat and maintain low boil. 3. Cooking time is measured from the second boil. The time taken to cook will be reduced by approximately one third compared with the usual 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. 4 Hints and Tips n n n n n n n n n n 5 Boil-in-bag foods retain their flavor, the saucepan remains cleaner, cooking odors are reduced, and it saves energy. The vacuum removes the air from the bag, prolonging storage life, and retaining food color. It also saves space in the freezer or cupboard. To achieve an efficient seal, ensure that the area to be sealed is completely clean and dry. Also ensure that there are no creases or wrinkles in the bag which would prevent a perfect seal. Allow approximately 11/2” margin between the food and seal to allow for expansion when freezing and cooking. Do not use the vacuum sealer on cling film, as the heat will melt this type of film. The white stripe on the bag is for labeling. When packing boiling foods, allow them to cool for 5 minutes before packing. Do not vacuum air when sealing liquids in bags. Remember that seasonings and flavorings alter or intensify during storage, so reduce the amount of salt, pepper and spices in dishes to be frozen. Caring For Your Vacuum Sealer 1. Before attempting any cleaning operation, remove the plug from the outlet. 2. Simply wipe the sealer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse in water. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. 3. If particles of plastic adhere to the sealing wire, wipe them off carefully to avoid damage to the wire. It may help to carry out a sealing operation (closing the lid and pressing fully down) without a bag in position. This will heat the wire and soften any plastic adhering to it.
