Examine seal of bag. A wrinkle along the seal may cause leakage and
allow air to enter. Simply cut bag and reseal.
Sometimes moisture or food (such as juices, grease, crumbs, powders,
etc.) along seal can prevent bag from sealing properly. Cut bag, wipe
top inside of bag and reseal.
If you vacuum package sharp food items, the bag may puncture so
use a new bag if there is a hole. Cover sharp objects with a soft
cushioning material, such as a paper towel and reseal.
If there's still air in the bag, fermentation or the release of natural gases
from inside the foods may have occurred, when this happens, food
may have begun to spoil and should be discarded.
AIR WAS REMOVED FROM THE BAG,
BUT NOW AIR HAS RE-ENTERED
If the bag melts, the rubber lip may have become too hot, always wait
at least 5 minutes for appliance to cool down before you vacuum
package another item.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid possible illness. Do not reuse bags after storing raw meats,
raw fish or greasy food. Do not reuse bags that have been microwaved
or simmered.
Note:
Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before vacuum
packaging.
Note:
Do not vacuum package carbonated or sparkling beverages as
gas removal will cause them to go flat.
