4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Preparing Food for Vacuum Sealing
- Ensure food items are clean and dry. For moist foods, consider pre-freezing or using a paper towel to absorb excess liquid near the seal area.
- For liquids or very moist foods, use the partial vacuum function or freeze them solid before sealing to prevent liquid from being drawn into the vacuum pump.
- Place food inside a vacuum bag, leaving at least 5-7 cm of space between the food and the top edge of the bag for proper sealing.
4.2 Using Vacuum Bags/Rolls
- If using a vacuum roll, use the included cutter to cut the desired length.
- Seal one end of the roll using the 'seal-only' function to create a bag.
- Ensure the bags are specifically designed for vacuum sealing.
4.3 Vacuum Sealing Process
- Open the lid of the vacuum sealer.
- Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum channel, ensuring it lies flat over the sealing strip. The textured side of the bag should be facing down for optimal sealing.
- Close the lid firmly until you hear a click, indicating it is locked.
- Press the 'Vacuum & Seal' button for automatic operation. The appliance will remove air and then automatically seal the bag.
- For delicate items, use the 'Partial Vacuum' function to control the amount of air removed, then press 'Seal' manually.
- To only seal a bag without vacuuming, press the 'Seal' button.
- Once the process is complete, the indicator light will turn off. Press the release buttons (if present) or lift the lid to open.
- Carefully remove the sealed bag.
