Tips on Sealing a Bag

Make sure you’ve securely latched the

appliance lid. When making a bag from a roll, place

bag material on Sealing Strip (I), close lid and make

sure to use the Latch (D) to lock lid. Then press Seal

Button (O).

Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into the

Vacuum Channel or trapped in the seal. Either pre-freeze

moist food such as raw meat for 1-2 hours before

vacuum packaging, or place a folded paper towel

between food and end of bag to absorb excess liquids.

Just be sure to leave at least 3 inches between paper

towel and end of bag so that bag seals properly with

paper towel inside.

Make sure you give appliance time to cool down. Wait

at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very heavy

usage, appliance will shut off automatically to prevent

overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow

appliance to cool off.

Tips on Removing Air from a Bag

Make sure you’ve securely latched the

appliance lid. When vacuuming and sealing a bag or

canister, make sure the Latch (D) is in the locked

position.

Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing Strip.

Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow

air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag

along Sealing Strip (I) before closing lid and vacuum

packaging. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply

cut bag open and vacuum package again.

If motor runs for more than 30 seconds

without stopping, you may need to adjust bag and try

again. If you are making the initial seal on a piece of

bag material with two open ends, make sure bag is

placed on Sealing Strip. If you are vacuum packaging

with a bag, make sure open end is placed down

inside Vacuum Channel and make sure Accessory

Hose is not attached. If you are vacuum packaging

with an accessory, check Accessory Hose in appliance

lid and in accessory to ensure a tight fit.

Tips on Storage

Always store appliance with the Latch in the unlocked

position.
