Important Tips
For your own safety, always follow
these basic precautions when using
a POTANE® appliance:
1.Read the User Manual carefully for operating
instructions.
2.Do not use the appliance on wet surfaces or
outdoors.
3.To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse any part of the appliance, power cord
or plug in water or other liquid. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
4.To disconnect, unplug power cord from
electrical outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling
on cord.
5.Do not operate the appliance with a damaged
power cord or plug. Do not operate the
appliance if it malfunctions or is in any way
damaged. For details, contact Consumer
Services at the email address SUPPORT
@POTANE.COM.
6.Use appliance only for its intended use.
7.Closely supervise children when using any
electrical appliance. Do not allow appliance to
be used as a toy.
8.Caution: all cords should not drape over
counter or tabletop where cords can be
tripped over or pulled on unintentionally,
especially by children.
9.Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or heated oven.
10.Vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for the
heat process of canning. Perishables still need
to be refrigerated or frozen.
11.For better results, use with POTANE® Bags,
Rolls, Containers and Accessories.
12.During the vacuum sealing process, small
amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles
can be inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum
Channel. Clean it after each use.
13.Avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches
of bag material between bag contents and top
of the bag. This allows room for the bag
material to cinch tightly against the food and
prevents the bag from pulling out of the
Vacuum Channel during the sealing process.
Then leave at least one additional inch of bag
material for each time you plan to reuse bag.
14.To prevent wrinkles in the seal when vacuum
sealing bulky items, gently stretch bag flat
while inserting bag into Vacuum Channel and
continue to hold bag until vacuum pump starts.
15.When you are vacuum sealing items with
sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.),
protect bag from punctures by wrapping item
in soft cushioning material, such as a paper
towel. You may want to use a POTANE®
canister instead of a bag.
16.When using a canister, remember to leave one
inch of space at top of it.
17.Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before
vacuum sealing for best results. See Guidelines
for Vacuum Sealing.
18.Wait 20 seconds between seals to allow
appliance to cool.
19.Never store lid in LOCKED position as gaskets
may become compressed.
