HOW TO
Marinate Food with Canisters
Your PRO380 has a special marinating feature that allows foods to
quickly achieve the optimum fl avor infusion. While in the Marinate
cycle, the PRO380 will alternate back and forth between a state of
vacuum and state of rest.
NOTE: One cycle is 9 minutes (8 minutes vacuum and 1 minute rest with no
vacuum). Each cycle after will add an additional 9 minutes. Marinate cycle can
range from 9 minutes (one cycle) to 99 minutes (11 cycles) based on desired
intensity of fl avor.
1. Place the food and marinade in the canister. Ensure the rim of
the canister is clean and dry, and no food or liquid has been
spilled on the lid.
2. Turn the lid knob to “Open”.
NOTE: During the Marinate cycle the knob on the canister must be in the
“Open” position.
3. Insert one end of the Accessory Hose into the lid port and insert
the other end of the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port on
the PRO380.
4. Press the “Set” button to select Marinate Time.
5. Using the arrow buttons to adjust Up or Down, set the
marinating time (9 to 99 minutes).
6. With the lid in the closed position, press the “Start” button. With
the vacuum pump running, push down on the canister to ensure
the vacuum is engaged.
7. Your PRO380 will alternate between vacuuming and releasing
air.
NOTE: The display will show both the remaining cycle time and a blinking light
signaling the cycle is in process.
8. When the Marinate cycle is complete, the machine will “beep”
and release the vacuum.
9. Gently twist and remove the Accessory Hose from the canister
and the machine.
NOTE: The Marinate cycle can be cancelled by pressing the “Stop” button.
For storage reference, follow the “How to: Vaccum Seal with
Canisters” on page 8.

Follow these steps when using precut vacuum packaging bags with
your VacMaster
®
PRO380 Vacuum Sealer:
1. Choose a suitable-sized vacuum packaging bag, and place the
item(s) inside.
2. Allow at least 3” of head space between the contents and the
top of the bag.
3. Using the handle, open the lid and place the open end of the
bag across the seal bar, keeping the opening within the gasket
area.
4. To ensure a complete seal make sure the bag is fl at across the
seal bar, smoothing out any wrinkles.
5. Close the lid.
6. Press the “Start” button to begin the vacuum process. Press
and hold down the lid until the vacuum engages.
NOTE: To prevent crushing delicate items, press the “Seal” button anytime to
start the sealing process.

9. Take the bag out and inspect the seal. A successful seal will look
clear. If seal is spotty, incomplete, wrinkled, white or milky, cut
the seal and repeat the vacuum sealing process.
Recommended seal time setting is 1.5.
