Waring PVS1000 Series User Manual

6 7
GUIDELINES FOR VACUUM SEALING
1. IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW FOOD SAFETY GUIDELINES
WHILE USING THIS APPLIANCE.
2. DO NOT overll the bag; leave enough empty space for The
Pistol Vac to come in contact with the valve.
3. Do not leave too much air inside the bag. Press bag to allow
extra air to escape before closing and vacuum sealing it.
4. Do not vacuum seal objects with sharp points (i.e., sh
bones or hard shells). Sharp points may penetrate and tear
the bags.
5. Do not vacuum seal soft food items such as soft cheeses.
6. Do not use vacuum sealer system to store soups or other
liquids.
7. During the sealing process, small amounts of liquids,
crumbs or food particles can inadvertently enter into the
suction cup, clogging the pump and potentially damaging
your appliance. If this happens, immediately release
the trigger and follow the cleaning instructions on
page 8.
To prevent this, follow these tips:
a) For moist and juicy foods such as raw meats:
Seal the bag closed while it is in a vertical position. You
can also place a folded paper towel inside the top of
bag to separate the food from the valve before vacuum
sealing it.
b) For powdery or ne-grained foods: avoid overlling bags.
You can also place a paper towel inside before vacuum
sealing it.
NOTE: To avoid possible food-borne illness, be careful when
reusing bags after storing raw meats, sh or greasy foods.
PREPARING FOOD FOR THE FREEZER
To vacuum seal unfrozen foods that will go in the freezer, leave
two extra inches of space to allow for expansion during freezing.
Before storing foods such as tortillas, crêpes or hamburger
patties, use wax or parchment paper to separate them. This will
make it easy to remove only the amount of food needed at a
time. Re-seal the rest of the food immediately and replace in the
freezer.
GENERAL RULES FOR FOOD SAFETY
• Beginwiththefreshestfoodpossible.Vacuumsealing
extends the life of foods by removing air from the bags that
they are stored in. Removing air can also stop the growth of
microorganisms, which under certain conditions can cause
problems. Even under proper storage conditions, food may
lose freshness if stored for too long. To preserve food safely,
it is important to store food at low temperatures.
