Care
and Cleaning of your Vacuum Sealer
To Clean Appliance:
Remove Power Cord from electrical outlet. Do not immerse in liquid.
Check Gaskets and around Drip Tray to make sure they are free from
food materials. Wipe off Gasket with a warm soapy cloth if needed.
Upper and Lower Gaskets may be removed for cleaning. Clean with
warm, soapy water and allow gaskets to dry before reinserting in
machine.
The Removable Drip Tray makes cleanup easy when small amounts
of liquids are inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Channel during
vacuum process.
Empty Drip Tray after each use. Wash in warm soapy water or place
on top rack of dishwasher. Check for food residues in Drip Tray Slot.
Clean if needed. Dry thoroughly before re-inserting into
the appliance.
To Store Appliance:
Clean unit thoroughly as detailed above.
After the unit has been cleaned and allowed to fully dry, close lid
and push the Easy Lock Latch into the STORE (middle) position. This
setting will keep the lid closed but prevents any undue pressure from
being applied to the internal sealing gaskets of the unit.
Always leave lid latch in STORE position when not in use. Never store
lid in OPERATE position as Internal gaskets may become compressed.
When appliance is left in OPERATE position, the Gaskets become
compressed and the unit may not function properly.
Handheld Sealer Reservoir:
Empty Reservoir after each use.
Wash in warm soapy water.
Air dry before replacing.
To Remove Reservoir from handheld sealer, holding top portion (black
upper piece) firmly, pull lower reservoir down and off.
