Seal in bags for tomorrow, next week, next month, etc. • Easily reheat by placing bag directly in boiling water or microwave. To microwave, cut corner of bag to vent, and place on microwave safe dish. KEEP LEFTOVERS AS FRESH AS THE DAY THEY WERE PREPARED • After dinner, store leftovers in a Seal-a-Meal® bag, and keep in refrigerator or freezer for a later date. MARINATE IN MINUTES • Place food and favorite marinade in bag and vacuum seal for quick marinating. PERFECT FOR FISHING AND HUNTING • Use when fishing and hunting to keep your catch fresh until you’re ready to prepare them as a meal. Seal-a-Meal® Vacuum Food Sealer prevents freezer burn during extended periods of time in the freezer. Store fish and meats in the freezer immediately after sealing. NOTE: DO NOT store vacuum sealed fish (smoked or raw) at room temperature or in the refrigerator. IT’S NOT JUST FOR FOOD • Store clothing in Seal-a-Meal® bags to prevent potential damage when stored in an attic or closet. •Protect valuable documents by sealing them in an airtight Seal-a-Meal® bag. • Place cardboard or some stiff material on both sides of your documents to ensure that they maintain their continuity and shape. • Keep your belongings clean and dry during boating or camping outings. Simply seal your clothing or materials prior to your trip. -13 VS125(428-1250) V.qxd 1/10/05 16:25 Page 15 TROUBLESHOOTING NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I PRESS THE VACUUM BUTTON 1) Make sure the power cord is correctly plugged into the electrical outlet. 2) Make sure the battery is connected. Prior to first use, you will need to install and charge the rechargeable battery. Refer to the Battery Installation Section. 3) Make sure the battery is charged or the power cord is correctly plugged into the electrical outlet. 4) Make sure the power cord is not damaged in any way. 5) Make sure the electrical outlet is operative by plugging in another appliance. If it is not, please check the circuit breakers or fuses in your home. 6) The unit is equipped with a cool down period between vacuum cycles. Please wait 30 seconds and try again. AIR IS NOT REMOVED FROM THE BAG 1) Make sure the NOZZLE is completely inside the bag (refer to the "How to Vacuum Seal with Seal-a-Meal® Bags" section of the manual to determine if you are doing it correctly). 2) Check that the bag is sealed at one end and has no holes. Seal the bag with air in it and put it in water. Apply pressure to the bag. If there are bubbles present there is a leak, and a new bag should be used. 3) Verify that the Lock ‘n Seal™ Nozzle/Drip Tray is in the drip tray compartment and seated properly (check to make sure the rubber drain plug is properly installed). 4) Make sure lid is completely latched into place on both sides. AIR WAS INITIALLY REMOVED FROM THE BAG, BUT SOME HAS SINCE ENTERED THE BAG 1) Check the seal of the bag. There may be a hole or wrinkle that is allowing air to re-enter the bag. Carefully cut the bag open and re-seal it, or use an entirely new bag. 2) Make sure there is no moisture or juices from the food present within the bag. You may need to cut open the bag and re-seal it, or use an entirely new bag. Foods with excess liquids should be frozen prior to vacuum sealing. Please refer to the "How to Seal Delicate or Moist Foods" section. 3) Make sure there were no food items with sharp edges that may have punctured the bag. If you find a puncture hole seal the item in an entirely new bag. 4) Make sure no liquids were drawn to the sealing strip region. THE BAG MELTS The sealing strip may have been too hot during the sealing process. Allow the unit to cool for 30 seconds between uses. If the bag continues to melt, allow unit to cool with the lid in the upright position for 1-2 minutes before using. THE BAG WILL NOT SEAL See "Air Was Initially Removed from Bag" section above. Make sure no liquids were drawn to the sealing strip region.
