5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Sealing with VAC-SNAP Bags

The Oliso Pro Smart Vacuum Sealer uses a no-touch start system for VAC-SNAP bags.

1. Place food inside a VAC-SNAP bag, ensuring the top zipper is closed and the bag edge is clean and dry.
2. Insert the edge of the VAC-SNAP bag into the bag slot of the vacuum sealer. The appliance will automatically detect the bag.
3. The vacuum sealer will automatically begin to remove air from the bag and then create an airtight heat seal. The STATUS indicators will progress from WAIT to DONE.
4. Once the DONE indicator illuminates, remove the sealed bag.

5.2. Moist Mode (Liquid Detection)

The appliance features a liquid detection system for sealing moist foods or liquids. When moisture is detected, the MOIST indicator will illuminate, and the sealing process will adjust for optimal results, ensuring a precise seal without drawing liquids into the vacuum chamber.

5.3. Dry Mode

For dry goods such as herbs, spices, or crackers, the appliance operates in Dry Mode. This mode ensures efficient air removal and sealing without special adjustments.

5.4. Stop & Seal Mode (for Fragile Foods)

To prevent crushing delicate or fragile foods (e.g., bread, chips), press the STOP VACUUM button at any point during the vacuum process to manually stop air removal. The appliance will then proceed directly to the sealing phase.

5.5. Using the Flexi Tube Attachment

The Flexi Tube allows you to vacuum seal bottles, jars, and other containers using compatible accessories like the Wine + Oil Freshkeeper or Magnetic Zip Disc.

1. Insert one end of the Flexi Tube into the PORT on the vacuum sealer.

3. Press the FLEXI TUBE button on the control panel. The appliance will begin to remove air from the container.
4. Once the vacuum is complete, the appliance will automatically stop. Remove the Flexi Tube and accessory.

The large drip tray is removable and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Regularly remove and clean the drip tray to prevent buildup from liquids or food particles.

1. Ensure the appliance is unplugged.
2. Carefully pull out the drip tray from the front of the unit.
3. Wash the drip tray by hand with warm, soapy water or place it in the dishwasher.
4. Ensure the drip tray is completely dry before reinserting it into the appliance.

6.2. Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the vacuum sealer with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.

6.3. VAC-SNAP Bag Care

Oliso VAC-SNAP bags are designed for multiple uses. They are BPA-free and made of #7 recyclable material. After use, wash bags with warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and allow them to air dry completely before reuse. Bags can be resealed up to 10 times depending on content and care.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Oliso Pro Smart Vacuum Sealer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Appliance does not power on:
  Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• Appliance is not vacuuming or sealing:
  Check that the VAC-SNAP bag is properly inserted into the bag slot and that the bag's zipper is fully closed. Ensure the bag edge is clean and dry. Verify that the drip tray is correctly installed.
• Vacuum is weak or inconsistent:
  Inspect the sealing area for any food debris or moisture that might be interfering with the seal. Ensure the Flexi Tube is securely connected if using accessories.
• Liquid is being drawn into the vacuum chamber:
  The appliance has a liquid detection feature (Moist Mode). If excessive liquid is present, consider pre-freezing the liquid portion of the food before sealing, or use the Stop & Seal mode to manually control the vacuum process.

For issues not resolved by the above steps, please contact customer support.
