- Place the food item into a vacuum sealer bag, ensuring at least 3 inches of space between the food and the top of the bag.
- Open the lid of the vacuum sealer.
- Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum channel, ensuring it lies flat across the sealing strip.

- Once the process is complete, the indicator light will turn off. Press the release buttons on the sides to open the lid and remove the sealed bag.
5.2. Manual Vacuum and Seal (Wet/Delicate Mode)
For delicate foods or foods with moisture, manual control allows for precise vacuuming.
- Prepare the bag as described in step 1 of Automatic Vacuum and Seal.
- Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum channel and close the lid firmly.
- Press and hold the 'Pulse Vac' button to start vacuuming. Monitor the vacuum process to prevent crushing delicate items or drawing liquids into the vacuum chamber.
- Release the 'Pulse Vac' button when the desired vacuum level is reached.
- Immediately press the 'Seal' button to seal the bag.
- Once sealed, open the lid and remove the bag.

This function is used to seal bags without vacuuming, ideal for snack bags or creating custom-sized bags from rolls.

- Close the lid firmly.
- Press the 'Seal' button. The appliance will create a strong seal.
- Once the indicator light turns off, open the lid and remove the sealed bag.
