CLEANING, CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always unplug the appliance before performing any cleaning
and maintenance operations.
NOTE: Be sure to wash all parts thoroughly to avoid food-
borne illness.
1. Rotate the suction cup to the unlock position and pull it
outward to remove. Rinse the suction cup with warm soapy
water.
2. The rubber inner suction nozzle is removable for cleaning.
Wash with warm soapy water.
3. Clean The Pistol Vac and the suction base with a
non-abrasive cloth.
4. Ensure that parts are completely dry before reassembling.
Cleaning the bags:
Wash the bags with warm soapy water or place on the top
rack of the dishwasher.
NOTE: If you wish to reuse a bag after storing raw meats,
it is important to be sure that bags have been completely
sanitized in order to prevent food-borne illness.
When sealing and storing raw meats, it is strongly
recommended to discard bags after use if the valve comes
in contact with liquids.
To properly sanitize the valve of the bag:
1. Pour a diluted bleach solution into the bag, dispersing
evenly.
2. Empty the solution from the bag.
3. Use The Pistol Vac to suck the remaining liquid through
the valve.
Note: Only a small, weak bleach solution is needed.
Do not suck any liquid into the inner suction nozzle, as
that may damage the appliance.
4. Before using, thoroughly rinse the bag with clean water after
the above operation to be sure all bleach has been removed.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE: If the appliance has not been used for a long time, you will
need to recharge it before use.
If nothing happens when you pull the trigger, you may need to do
the following:
1. Be sure that the unit is charged.
2. Check the appliance parts to be sure that they are not loose.
If they are loose, tighten them, and resume the sealing
process.
The unit will not charge:
1. Check that the unit is properly connected with the charging
base so that the LED is illuminated.
2. Be sure that the electric outlet is working properly.
It does not work right after being charged:
1. Make sure the LED lights are illuminated during charging.
If not, properly connect The Pistol Vac to the charging base
so that the lights are illuminated.
2. If the LED indicator lights are on, make sure that The Pistol
Vac has been charged long enough (9–12 hours for fully
charged battery).
Air is not removed from the bag completely:
1. Bags are not sealed: re-align the zipper, and be sure the
entire zipper is closed.
2. Make sure the valve is clean. You may need to replace the
zip bag.
3. The bag is too full; reduce the amount of food to be sealed.
4. Extend the vacuum sealing time.
