Canister Marinating
1� Place the food item and marinade in the canister and place lid
on the canister�
2� Attach the vacuum hose to the front panel External Vacuum
Port�
3� Attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum port on the canister lid�
4� Place vacuum port in the “vacuum” position�
5� Adjust the Vacuum Level as required (see Selecting the Vacuum
Level, page 17)�
6� Press � The LED adjacent to Marinate Time will light�
7� Press the and/or buttons until the desired Marinate Time
appears on the Digital Display�
8� Press � The vacuum process will proceed as follows:
11� Open the Vacuum Chamber Lid�
12� Open the clamp, remove the bag and check for proper seal (as
needed)�
Bag Marinating
1� Adjust the Vacuum Level as required (see Selecting the Vacuum
Level, page 17)�
2� Press � The LED adjacent to Marinate Time will light�
3� Press the and/or buttons until the desired Marinate Time
appears on the Digital Display�
4� Press � The LED adjacent to Seal Time will light�
5� Press the and/or buttons until the desired Seal Time
appears on the Digital Display� Set Seal Time to 00 if you wish to
leave the bag unsealed�
6� Press until the LED adjacent to Marinate Time lights�
7� Open the Vacuum Chamber Lid�
8� Place the food item you wish to marinate and the marinade in
a suitably sized heat-seal bag and secure in the Vacuum
Chamber (see Placing the Heat-Seal Bag in the Vacuum
Chamber, page 17)�
9� Close the Vacuum Chamber Lid�
10� Press � The marinate process will proceed as follows:
Marinating or Pickling Food Items
You can use your 300 Series Chamber Vacuum Sealer to quickly
marinate or pickle products in either bags or canisters�
Marinating/pickling time is set in 9 minute cycles, with each cycle
consisting of two main steps: vacuum and hold� The maximum
number of vacuum/hold cycles is 11 (99 minutes)�
Each vacuum step takes approximately 1 minute (depending on
the Vacuum Level set) and each hold step takes approximately 8
minutes� At the end of each cycle, the vacuum is released� If sealing
has been activated and a bag is being used, the bag is sealed at the
end of the nal cycle.
• The vacuum pump turns On and the LED associated with the
selected Vacuum Level begins ashing; the LEDs for lower
Vacuum Levels light as those levels are achieved�
• When the selected Vacuum Level is achieved, the LED
associated with that level lights steady and the vacuum pump
turns Off and a hold cycle begins� The Digital Display begins
counting down (in minutes) from the original Marinate Time
setting�
• If the Marinate Time was set for more than one cycle (18
minutes or more), the vacuum and hold process repeats until all
time has elapsed�
• A seal step is initiated if Seal Time is 01 or greater and the time
remaining in the seal step is displayed on the digital readout�
• When the display reaches 00, it begins ashing and three one-
second audible signals sound to indicate that the process is
complete�
WARNING: When marinating product in canisters,
always set the seal time to 00� This prevents the seal
bar from heating�
