Basic Vacuum Sealing and Sealing

Figure 4: How to Use VS6612. This visual guide illustrates the four main steps for vacuum sealing: 1. Place the bag opening flat into the vacuum chamber. 2. Press the lid with both hands to lock it. 3. Select "VAC SEAL" to vacuum seal your food. 4. Light off, open the lid.

1. Prepare the Bag: Use vacuum sealer bags. Ensure the bag is clean, dry, and free of wrinkles. Leave at least 3 inches of space between the food and the top of the bag.
2. Place the Bag: Open the lid of the vacuum sealer. Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it lies flat across the sealing strip.
3. Close the Lid: Press down firmly on both ends of the lid until you hear a "Clicking" sound, indicating the latches are secure.
4. Select Mode:
   • For automatic vacuum and seal, press the VAC SEAL button.
   • To only seal a bag (without vacuuming), press the SEAL button.
5. Monitor Progress: The LED indicator lights will illuminate during the process.
6. Release: Once the indicator lights turn off, the process is complete. Press the unlock buttons on both ends of the lid to release and remove the sealed bag.

Using Different Modes (Moist/Dry, PULSE)

• Moist/Dry Mode: Select the appropriate mode based on the food's moisture content.
  • Press MOIST for foods with liquid, such as raw meat or marinated items.
  • Press DRY for dry foods like nuts, grains, or crackers.
• PULSE Mode: Provides manual control over the vacuum pressure, ideal for delicate foods like bread or potato chips.
  • Press and hold the PULSE button to vacuum. Release when desired vacuum level is reached.
  • Immediately press the SEAL button to seal the bag.

Using the External Vacuum System

• Connect the other end of the hose to the accessory (e.g., vacuum canister, wine stopper).
• Press the VAC button (or similar external vacuum button) to start the vacuum process.
• The machine will automatically stop when the desired vacuum level is reached for containers, or you can manually stop for wine bottles.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your vacuum sealer.

• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Vacuum Chamber: Clean the vacuum chamber and gasket with a damp cloth. Ensure no food particles or liquids are present. Dry thoroughly.
• Sealing Strip: Gently wipe the sealing strip with a dry cloth. Do not scratch or damage it.
