CONTAINERS WITH A SEAL-A-MEAL®VACUUM FOOD SEALER

Your Seal-a-Meal®Lightweight On-the-Go Containers let you enjoy the convenience and benefits of storing pre-made meals, preserving leftovers, controlling portion sizes and simplifying reheating. They are great for storing foods or other items on the countertop, in the refrigerator or in the pantry.

Make sure your Vacuum Food Sealer and Container are sitting on a flat, dry surface and follow the instructions below:

1.Plug in your Vacuum Food Sealer.

2.Place the item you wish to seal inside the Container, leaving at least one inch between the contents and the top rim of the Container.

3.Place the Lid on the Container.

4.Insert the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port on your Vacuum Food Sealer.

5.Place the Accessory Adapter over the Vacuum Valve on the Container Lid.

6.Close the lid on your Vacuum Food Sealer and activate the vacuum feature (refer to the Reference Guide for your Vacuum Sealer). Once the air has been removed from the Container, the Sealer will automatically turn off.

7.Remove Accessory Hose & Adapter from the Container Lid. The Container is now ready to be stored.

Note: If your Vacuum Sealer has a Cancel button, it is best to press the cancel button before removing the Accessory Hose and Adapter from the Container Lid.

Note: To release the vacuum in the Container, simply open the Vacuum Valve/Air Release flap.

•Lightweight On-the-Go Containers are great for vacuum sealing any type of food—pre-made meals, leftovers and healthy portion sizes.

•Make sure there are no crumbs or food debris on the Container Lid, as gaps or an improper seal will prevent air from being removed.

•Do not overfill the Container Base with food or liquid.

•Store the vacuum sealed Container in an upright position.

•Easily microwave foods in your Container, simply remove the Lid and place the Container Base in your microwave.

•Some deformation of the Container base may occur during vacuuming. This is normal and does not effect performance.
