Vacmaster Pro90 - Canister Guidelines

10
Canister Guidelines
▪ Use only canisters designed for vacuum packaging. Other containers can
implode under the pressure of the Pro90 vacuum.
▪ Do not freeze vacuum canisters.
▪ Cool liquids in refrigerator before vacuum packaging.
▪ Hand wash canister lid. Do not put in dishwasher. The canister itself is
dishwasher safe.
▪ If liquids are caught in the accessory hose, run warm water through hose. Be
sure hose is not attached to accessory port.
▪ Powdered or granulated foods should be covered with a paper towel before
vacuuming to prevent food from traveling into the vacuum mechanism.
▪ Vacuum packaging is not a substitute for canning. Perishable foods still need
to be refrigerated or frozen.
▪ Hot foods should be cooled before vacuuming; the vacuum effect will be
inuenced if not cooled.
▪ Because of the different air pressure, the canister lid should be removed when
putting the canister in the microwave.
▪ Foods in canister should be thawed or at room temperature before heating in
the microwave.
