* Foods that need to be kept at low temperatures should be stored
in a Vacuvita container or vacuum bag. Fresh fruits and vegetables
that can be kept outside the refrigerator, such as apples and
peppers, can be stored in the Vacuvita Home Base.
Do not put the Home Base in the refrigerator or freezer. Always use
proper food saving techniques to avoid food-borne illness.
The Home Base is not intended for outdoor use.
Do not place crisp, dry foods and humid products in the Home Base
simultaneously. Moisture will migrate from the humid products to
the dry ones and may cause them to turn soft or soggy.
Do not allow water or liquids inside the Vacuvita Home Base.
Do not submerge the Home Base in water.
