Important Safeguards

For your safety, always follow these basic precautions when using a 
VacMaster

®

 DUO550 Vacuum Sealer:

1.  Read all instructions in this User’s Guide before use.
2.  Do not use the DUO550 on a wet or hot surface, or near a heat 

source.

3.  To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse any part of 

the vacuum sealer, power cord, or plug in water or any other 
liquid.

4.  Unplug the machine before cleaning or when not in use.
5.  To disconnect, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. 

Do not disconnect by pulling on the cord.

6.  Do not operate the DUO550 if it has a damaged cord or plug. 
7.  Do not operate the DUO550 if it malfunctions or is damaged. 

Contact Customer Service at 800-821-7849.

8.  Use the DUO550 only for its intended use.
9.  Closely supervise children when using any electrical appliance. 

Do not allow the DUO550 to be used as a toy.

10. The DUO550 (120V appliances only) has a grounded plug. Use 

only a grounded electrical outlet. To reduce risk of electrical 
shock, do not modify the plug in any way.

11. Do not use an extension cord. 
12. The power cord should not drape over a counter or tabletop, as 

the cord could be tripped over or pulled on unintentionally.

heated oven.

14. Extreme caution and care must be used when sealing or 

handling any pouches/bags containing hot liquids.
