To Clean Appliance:
Remove Power Cord from electrical outlet. Do not immerse in liquid.
Check Gaskets and around Drip Tray to make sure they are free from food
materials. Wipe off Gasket with warm soapy cloth if needed. Upper and
Lower Gaskets may be removed for cleaning. Clean with warm, soapy water.
The Removable Drip Tray makes cleanup easy when small amounts of
liquids are inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Channel during vacuum
process.
Empty Drip Tray after each use. Wash in warm soapy water or place in top
rack of dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before re-inserting into the appliance.
Always leave lid latch in open position. Never store lid in latched position
as gaskets may become compressed. When appliance is left in closed
position, the Gaskets become compressed and the unit may not function
properly.
