Available Modes:

• Dry Mode: Ideal for normal dry food items. This mode ensures optimal vacuuming for foods without moisture.
• Moist Mode: Designed for foods with moisture, such as marinated meats or fruits. This mode adjusts the vacuum and sealing time to prevent liquid from interfering with the seal.
• Seal Mode: Used to seal bags without vacuuming. This is useful for fragile items that might be crushed by vacuum pressure, or for creating custom-sized bags from a roll.
• Manual Mode: Provides precise control over the vacuum process. Press and hold to vacuum, release to stop, then press Seal to seal. This is suitable for soft or delicate foods that require careful handling.
• External Vacuum: For use with external vacuum accessories like canisters, jars, or wine stoppers. Connect the external hose to the appliance and the accessory, then select this mode.
• Cancel: Stops the current operation.

Using the External Vacuum System:

The FRESKO V3 can be used with compatible vacuum canisters, jars, and wine stoppers for extended food preservation.

1. Connect one end of the external hose to the vacuum port on the side of the sealer.
2. Connect the other end of the hose to the port on your vacuum-compatible container or wine stopper.
3. Select the "External Vacuum" mode on the touch screen. The appliance will begin to remove air from the container.
