USING YOUR CANISTER SET WITH

A SEAL-A-MEAL®VACUUM FOOD SEALER

The space saving, stackable design of the Seal-a-Meal®Canister Set is great for storing food or other items on the countertop or in your refrigerator or pantry.

1.Place the item you wish to seal inside the Canister Base leaving at least one inch between the contents and the rim of the Canister.

2.Place the Lid on the Canister. Attach the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port on your Seal-a-Meal®Vacuum Food Sealer.

3. Attach other end of the Accessory Hose to the Accessory Port on the Canister Lid.

4.Press the Vacuum Button. Vacuum Indicator Light will turn on. Once all the air is removed from the Canister, the Sealer and Indicator Light will automatically turn off.

•Canisters are great for vacuum sealing delicate foods (cookies, muffins), soups, sauces and more.

•Make sure there are no crumbs or food debris on the Canister Lid, as any gaps will prevent it from vacuum sealing.

•Do not over fill the Canister with food or liquid.

•Store vacuum sealed Canisters in an upright position.

Refer to your Seal-a-Meal®Vacuum Food Storage System Reference Guide for more details on how to Vacuum Seal with Seal-a-Meal®Accessories.
