5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Preparing the Bag

• Use only vacuum sealer bags designed for this appliance.
• Ensure the bag is clean and dry inside the sealing area.
• Leave at least 7-10 cm (3-4 inches) of space between the food and the top of the bag to allow for proper sealing.
• For moist foods, pre-freeze or place a paper towel inside the bag to absorb excess moisture and prevent liquid from entering the vacuum chamber.

5.2. Vacuum Sealing Process

1. Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it lies flat over the sealing strip and within the bag alignment guides.
2. Close the lid firmly until you hear a click on both sides, indicating it is securely latched.
3. Press the "Vacuum & Seal" button. The machine will automatically remove air from the bag and then create an airtight seal.
4. Once the process is complete, the indicator light will turn off. Press the release buttons on both sides to open the lid.
5. Remove the sealed bag. Check the seal for any wrinkles or imperfections. If necessary, re-seal.

5.3. Sealing Only (Without Vacuum)

This function is useful for sealing bags of delicate items or creating custom-sized bags from a roll.

1. Place the open end of the bag over the sealing strip, ensuring it is flat and centered. Do not place it into the vacuum chamber.
2. Close the lid firmly until it latches.
3. Press the "Seal Only" button. The machine will heat the sealing strip to create a seal without vacuuming.
4. Once the sealing process is complete, the indicator light will turn off. Press the release buttons to open the lid and remove the sealed bag.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your vacuum sealer.

1. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
2. Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
3. Vacuum Chamber: If liquids have entered the vacuum chamber, carefully wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure it is completely dry before next use.
4. Sealing Strip: The sealing strip can be wiped with a dry cloth. Do not touch it when hot. Ensure it is free of food debris.
5. Gaskets: Check the foam gaskets around the vacuum chamber for any food particles or damage. Clean gently with a damp cloth.
6. Storage: Store the appliance in a clean, dry place. For prolonged storage, it is recommended to leave the lid unlatched to prevent compression of the gaskets, which can affect sealing performance over time.
