Initial Bag Preparation and Sealing

Follow these steps to prepare and seal a bag using your vacuum sealer. This process is also applicable for creating custom-sized bags from a roll.

1. Cut the Bag Roll: Cut the bag roll to the desired size, ensuring you leave at least 2.5 inches for sealing.
2. Position for Sealing: Place one end of the bag flatly on the sealing bar. Press both sides of the lid down firmly until you hear two distinct lock-up sounds, indicating the lid is securely closed.
3. Initiate Seal: Press the [Seal] button to create a sealed edge, forming a bag.
4. Add Food: Open the lid, add the food items into the newly formed bag, and place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber.
5. Close Lid for Vacuum: Down the lid and press firmly with both hands until it locks securely.
6. Start Vacuum and Seal: Press the [VAC SEAL] button. The indicator light will illuminate. The machine will automatically vacuum the air out and then seal the bag. The light will turn off once the vacuuming and sealing process is complete.
7. Release and Retrieve: Press the release button on both sides of the machine to open the lid and take out the sealed food.

NOTE: Ensure you give the appliance time to cool down. Wait at least 40 seconds between consecutive seals to prevent overheating and ensure optimal performance.

Operating Instructions

The GERYON Vacuum Sealer offers various functions to accommodate different food types and sealing needs.

Control Panel Overview

The control panel features intuitive buttons and indicator lights for easy operation.

• VAC SEAL Button: Initiates automatic vacuuming and sealing. The indicator light illuminates during the process and turns off when complete.

Operating Modes

• Dry Food Mode: Ideal for solid items without moisture, such as nuts, cereals, and dried fruits.
