CANISTER GUIDELINES
• Use only canisters designed for vacuum packaging. Other containers can
implode under the vacuum pressure of the Vacuum Sealer.
• Cool liquids in refrigerator before vacuum packaging. Hot foods should be
cooled before vacuum packaging.
• Do not freeze vacuum canister. Suggested lowest temperature is -18.
Too low (lower than -18°) or too high (higher than 100°) temperature will make
the canister materials endure lower pressure or melt.
• Hand wash canister lid. Do not put in dishwasher and micro-oven.
The canister body itself is dishwasher safe and micro-oven safe. Suggested
highest temperature is 100°.
• If liquids are caught in the accessory hose, run warm water through hose.
Be sure hose is not attached to accessory port.
• Powdered or granulated foods should be covered with a paper towel before
vacuuming to prevent food from traveling into the vacuum mechanism.
• Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. Perishable foods still need to
be refrigerated or frozen.
