or broccoli; give carrots about 5 minutes; and 7 to 11 minutes for corn on the cob. After blanching,
immerse vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking process.
NOTE:
All vegetables (including broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips)
naturally emit gases during storage. Therefore, after blanching, it’s best if they’re stored in the freezer.
MORE ON VEGETABLES
Vegetables are a great candidate for portion control. When storing vegetables, try pre-freezing them
for 1 to 2 hours, then separate them into meal portions within your vacuum bags. After they have
been vacuum packaged, return them to the freezer.
IMPORTANT:
Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, fresh mushrooms, onions & garlic should never
be vacuum packaged.
HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM-SIZED BAGS
• Pull enough bag material to hold item to be vacuum packaged, plus 2 inches. With a pair of
scissors or sharp knife, cut desired bag length from bag roll. Make sure to cut in a straight line.
Plug in power cord.
• Open lid. Place one end of cut bag onto sealing strip.
• Close lid.
• Press START/ON button and the screen will light up.
• Choose SEAL ONLY function, and press the START button directly so that the sealer starts to
seal the bag with default time; alternatively, you can adjust the seal time by pressing SEAL TIME
+ and/or SEAL TIME - then press START/ON button.
• The indicator number of SEAL TIME will count down to 0 and the sealing process will be done,
with the custom-sized bag now ready for vacuum sealing.
CAUTION:
Make sure you give the appliance time to cool down. Wait at least 20 seconds between
seals.
HOW TO VACUUM SEAL WITH VACUUM BAGS
Place the item(s) to be sealed into the pre-cut or custom-sized bag. Leave at least 2 inches between
the contents and the top of the bag to allow for bag contraction.
Open lid and place the open end of the bag down into the sealing gasket area.
Close lid and turn on the machine.
Choose VAC SEAL function. Press the START/ON button and the sealer will perform vacuum and
sealing automatically; OR you can set the vacuum time and seal time with the corresponding
buttons and then press the START/ON button.
The indicator number of SEAL TIME counts down to 0 and the working process is done.
When the process is done, you can open the lid with the handle and take out the sealed bag.
HOW TO USE THE PULSE VACUUM FUNCTION
Since the pressure under the normal vacuum function can be high, sometimes you must take
care not to crush delicate items by high pressure in the vacuum bags. In this case, you can use the
’’PULSE’’ vacuum function to control the vacuum time and pressure, and prevent crushing delicate
items. When packing juicy foods, you can also use this function to prevent liquid being sucked out.
Place the item(s) to be sealed into the pre-cut or custom-sized bag. Leave at least 2 inches between
the contents and the top of the bag to allow for bag contraction.
Open the lid and place the open end of the bag down into the sealing gasket area.
