CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the unit before cleaning.

Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.

Avoid using abrasive products or material to clean the unit, as it will scratch the surface. Use a mild dish washing soap and a warm, damp cloth to wipe away food residue on appliance or around components. Dry thoroughly before using again.

Note: The foam gaskets around the vacuum chambers should be dried thoroughly before re-assembling. When re-assembling, it is important to assemble components back to original position, to ensure proper operation.

Cleaning The Vacuum Bags

Wash bags in warm water with a mild dish washing soap

When washing bags in dishwasher, turn bags inside out and spread them over top rack of dishwasher, so entire surface is exposed to the water. Dry thoroughly before reusing.

To avoid possible illness, do not reuse bags after storing raw meats, raw fish or greasy foods. Do not reuse bags that have been microwaved or boiled.

Cleaning the Accessories

Wash all container accessories in warm water with a mild dish washing soap. DO NOT immerse cover in water. Container accessory bases (not lids) are top rack dishwasher safe. Lid covers should be wiped down with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly before reusing.

Container accessories are NOT to be used in a microwave or freezer.

Storing Your Device

Keep the unit in a flat and safe place, out of the reach of children. Keep the lid of appliance unlocked when not in use to avoid distorting the foam gaskets. Damage or distortion cause leakage.
