Control Panel Functions:

• WET: For moist or wet foods (not for liquids).
• ADAPTER: For vacuum packing with vacuum tubes and adapters (A, B, C) for external containers.
• SEAL: Creates a light seal without vacuuming (useful for sealing chip bags or creating custom bags).
• VAC+SEAL: Performs both vacuuming and sealing (standard mode for most foods like meats, vegetables, loose items).
• SOFT: Gentle mode for pressure-sensitive foods (e.g., berries, cakes, delicate items).
• STOP: Halts the current operation.

Basic Vacuum Sealing Steps:

1. Position the vacuum bag: Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum channel, ensuring it is flat and within the sealing area.
2. Firmly close the lid to lock it: Press down on both sides of the lid until you hear a click, indicating it is securely latched.
3. Select mode and press button: Choose the appropriate mode (e.g., VAC+SEAL for general use, WET for moist food, SOFT for delicate items) and press the corresponding button.
4. Remove bag: When the LED indicator light turns off, the process is complete. Open the lid and remove your sealed bag.
