Operating Instructions
When machine shuts off, bag will be vacuumed and sealed. Lift lid and remove bag.
5. Check bag to make sure the seal is complete and there are no wrinkles along the seal. If
there are wrinkles, repeat the sealing process.
6. Store bag properly. All perishable foods will need to either be refrigerated or frozen to
prevent spoilage.
Bag Guidelines
Package the freshest food possible. The Pro150 allows you to maintain the food’s
freshness up to fives times longer than under properly stored conditions.
Delicate foods, moist foods and foods that need to hold their shape require pre-freezing.
Foods like meat, berries and bread can be frozen for up to 24 hours without harm of
freezer burn. Once food is hard, it is ready to be vacuum packaged.
If packaging fresh meats without pre-freezing, place a folded paper towel in between
the meat and the top of the bag. This will help absorb moisture.
To vacuum liquids like soups, stews and casseroles, pre-freeze in a dish or ice cube tray.
Once frozen, vacuum package, label and stack in your freezer.
Vegetables must be blanched before being vacuum packaged. Place in boiling water or
microwave until heated through but still crunchy. Vacuum package as normal.
**Never
vacuum package mushrooms or garlic.**
For objects with sharp points or edges (bones, pasta, rice) pad the edges with paper
towels to prevent the bag from puncturing.
VacMaster bags are reusable, boilable and microwaveable. We do not recommend
reusing bags that have been boiled or microwaved.
Do not reuse bags that have been used to store fresh meat or greasy foods.
