Packaging with VacMaster Bags & Rolls ® The following instructions apply to vacuum packaging foods and other items with pre-cut or roll bags. For best results, only use VacMaster bags. ® Pre-Cut Bags Select the proper bag size for items being packaged. An assortment of pre-cut bags are available, including Pint, Quart and Gallon sizes.
Packaging with VacMaster Canisters ® Your Pro160 is also equipped to vacuum package VacMaster canisters ® specifically designed for vacuum packaging.

Canister Guidelines ▪ Use only canisters designed for vacuum packaging. Other containers can implode under the pressure of the Pro160 vacuum. ▪ Do not freeze vacuum canisters. ▪ Cool liquids in refrigerator before vacuum packaging. ▪ Hand wash canister lid. Do not put in dishwasher. The canister itself is dishwasher safe.
Vacuum Packaging Tips Vacuum packaging greatly extends the shelf life of foods, but your Pro160 can also be used in many other areas of the house besides the kitchen. Vacuum packaging is great for camping and outdoor activities! ▪ For a quick ice pack, fill a vacuum bag about half full with water and a few tablespoons of rubbing alcohol.

More Tips ▪ Package the freshest foods possible. The Pro160 allows you to maintain the food’s freshness up to five times longer than under properly stored conditions. ▪ Delicate foods, moist foods and foods that need to hold their shape require pre-freezing.
▪ If packaging from a roll bag, make sure the first seal is complete. ▪ Pro160 and vacuum bag need to be clean, dry and free of debris for the vacuum process to be successful. Wipe surface of seal bar and inside of bag and try again.
▪ Twist knob on lid of canister to make sure it is attached securely. If problems persist, contact customer support at 800.821.7849 for further assistance. Thank you for purchasing the all-new VacMaster Pro160. ®...
