4.2 Dual Food Modes

The vacuum sealer offers two distinct modes to optimize preservation for different food consistencies:

• Moist Mode: Suitable for foods containing moisture, like fresh meats, fish, or vegetables. This mode adjusts the sealing time to ensure a secure seal without compromising the food.

4.3 Using the Accessory Port

The accessory port on the top of the machine allows for vacuum sealing with external accessories such as vacuum canisters, marinate bowls, and wine stoppers. Connect the vacuum accessory hose to the port and the accessory, then follow the instructions for the specific accessory.
