Overview

1. Function Description
2. Usage Features
3. Maintenance Features

The Oliso®PRO™ Series Dual Seal Freshkeeper Technology Vacuum Sealer is a device designed for preserving food by removing air from specially designed bags and containers, creating an airtight seal. This process helps to extend the shelf life of various food items, from meats and fish to dry goods and fragile foods. The vacuum sealer offers both moist and dry settings, catering to different types of food and ensuring optimal sealing.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Oliso®PRO™ Vacuum Sealer is to create a vacuum-sealed environment for food, which inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold, thus preserving freshness for longer periods. It achieves this through a combination of vacuum suction and heat sealing. The device features a dual seal area that contains a cutting blade and a heat seal mechanism. When a Vac-Snap® bag is properly positioned, the vacuum sealer extracts air and then applies heat to create a strong, airtight seal.

The Oliso®PRO™ also supports vacuum sealing with accessories via its Flexi Tube Valve Port. This allows users to vacuum seal items in canisters, permanent valve pantry bags, bottle stoppers, and Mason jar attachments, expanding its utility beyond just Vac-Snap® bags.

Usage Features:

The vacuum sealer is designed for ease of use with several intuitive features:

• Vac-Snap® Bags: The device works with proprietary Vac-Snap® bags, which are specifically designed for vacuum sealing and are more durable than standard zipper or freezer bags. These bags feature indicator circles or arrows to guide proper placement for sealing.
• Moist and Dry Settings: Users can select between "MOIST" and "DRY" settings depending on the food type. The "DRY" setting provides a shorter seal time suitable for dry goods, while the "MOIST" setting offers a longer seal time, ideal for vacuuming meats, fish, and other moist foods. The device defaults to the "DRY" setting for quick vacuum sealing.
• Simple Sealing Process: To vacuum seal a Vac-Snap® bag, users first press out excess air and zip the bag shut using the provided Zip Disc. The bag is then laid flat with the indicator circle aligned over an arrow on the drip tray, and slid forward to the "BAG EDGE" line. After selecting the appropriate food type setting, the vacuum sealing process begins automatically.
• Flexi Tube for Accessories: For vacuum sealing with accessories, one end of the flexi tube is connected to the accessory valve port on the bag or container, and the other end to the flexi tube valve port on the vacuum sealer. The "FLEXI TUBE" button is then pressed to initiate the vacuum.
• Indicator Lights (Status): The control panel includes "READY," "WAIT," and "DONE" indicator lights. "READY" (green) signifies the sealer is ready for use or can be unplugged. "WAIT" (amber) indicates the sealer is operating, and the unit should not be unplugged. "DONE" (red) illuminates after a vacuum cycle is complete, accompanied by two beeps.
• STOP VACUUM Button: This button allows users to immediately stop the vacuum process, which can be useful for creating a partial vacuum for fragile foods without crushing them.
• Reusing Vac-Snap® Bags: A key feature is the ability to reuse Vac-Snap® bags. After washing and air-drying, users can reseal bags by using the next closest alignment circle, ensuring maximum volume and an airtight seal.
• 12 Volt DC Cord (VS97A only): The VS97A model includes a 12 Volt DC cord, allowing the vacuum sealer to be used in cars, RVs, trucks, and boats, providing portability for outdoor adventures or travel.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the Oliso®PRO™ Vacuum Sealer:

• Drip Tray Cleaning: The device features a removable liquid drip tray that catches liquids pulled from bags during vacuum sealing, especially with moist foods. The drip tray and its gasket insert should be emptied and cleaned with warm, soapy water after each use to prevent bacterial contamination and overflow. The tray separates into two pieces for easy cleaning and is top-rack dishwasher safe.
• Bag Sealing Area Cleaning: The dual seal area, which includes the cutting blade and heat seal, should be wiped with warm water and antibacterial soap regularly. Caution is advised due to the sharp, concealed blade and the heat coil, which remains warm for a few seconds after use.
• Flexi Tube Care: The flexi tube hose should be stored in a loose knot (like a pretzel) to avoid pinching or deforming. If liquid is inadvertently vacuumed into the flexi tube, the "STOP VACUUM" button should be pressed immediately, and the tube cleaned promptly.
• Gasket Maintenance: The orange gasket in the drip tray should be removed and washed with warm, soapy water, then dried completely before reassembling. The black rubber ring should not be removed.
• Storage: When not in use, the vacuum sealer should always be unplugged. Its compact size allows for convenient storage on a counter, in a cabinet, or a drawer.

The Oliso®PRO™ Vacuum Sealer is designed to be a versatile and user-friendly appliance that simplifies food preservation, helping to reduce food waste and keep ingredients fresh for longer.
