Operating Instructions

General Vacuum Sealing Process:
- Prepare the Bag: Place the food item into a vacuum sealer bag. Ensure the bag is clean and dry inside the sealing area.
- Position the Bag: Open the lid of the vacuum sealer. Place the open end of the bag inside the vacuum chamber recess. Ensure the bag inlet is within the dotted line area and does not cover the vacuum pumping port on the right side.
- Close and Lock: Close the cover and press downward on both ends until you hear a "click" on each side, indicating the lid is securely locked.
- Select Mode: Choose the appropriate mode based on your food type:
- "Dry VAC": For dry foods like grains, nuts, or dried meats.
- "Moist VAC": For moist or wet foods such as fresh meats, fruits, or vegetables.
- "INCHING": For delicate or soft foods like bread or pastries. This mode allows manual control over the vacuum level. Press and hold the "INCHING" button to vacuum, and release to stop and seal.
- "Seal Only": To create a seal without vacuuming, useful for making custom-sized bags from rolls or sealing bags that do not require vacuuming.
- Start Operation: Press the selected mode button (e.g., "Dry VAC", "Moist VAC"). The machine will automatically vacuum and then seal the bag. For "INCHING" mode, manually control the vacuum.
- Release and Open: Once the sealing process is complete, press the "OPEN" button to release the locks and open the lid. Remove the sealed bag.
Using the External Vacuum Hose:
The G210 is compatible with most vacuum jars and canisters for external vacuum operations.

- Connect one end of the vacuum hose to the external vacuum hose port on the appliance.
- Connect the other end of the hose to the port on your vacuum-compatible jar or canister.
- Close the lid of the vacuum sealer and ensure it is locked.
- Press the "VAC.hose" button (if available, or use a general vacuum mode if the machine automatically detects the hose) to begin the vacuum process for the container.
- Once vacuuming is complete, remove the hose.
