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 vacu
um 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
wave. The canister
body itself is dishwasher safe and microwave 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.
