Setup

Before first use, ensure the appliance is clean and dry. Place the vacuum sealer on a flat, stable surface. Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Vacuum Sealing Bags:

1. Prepare the Bag: Place the food item into a vacuum sealer bag. Ensure there is at least 3 inches of space between the food and the top of the bag to allow for proper sealing.
2. Position the Bag: Open the lid of the vacuum sealer. Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it is within the dotted line marking the vacuum bag entrance. Make sure the vacuum extraction port is not covered by the bag.
3. Close the Lid: Close the lid and press downward firmly on both ends until two "click" sounds are heard, indicating the lid is securely latched.
4. Select Mode and Start:
   • For dry foods, press the "DRY" button.
   • For moist or delicate foods, press the "WET" button.
   The vacuum sealer will automatically start the vacuuming process and then seal the bag.
5. Release and Open: Once the sealing process is complete, press the "OPEN" button to release the locks and open the lid. Carefully remove the sealed bag.

Using "Seal Only" Mode:

This mode is ideal for sealing bags without vacuuming, or for creating custom-sized bags from a roll.

1. Place the open end of the bag onto the sealing strip.
2. Close the lid and press down firmly until it clicks.
3. Press the "SEAL ONLY" button. The machine will heat and seal the bag.
4. Once the sealing indicator light turns off, press "OPEN" and remove the sealed bag.

Using the External Vacuum Function:

The external vacuum hose allows you to vacuum seal compatible containers, jars, and wine stoppers.

1. Connect one end of the external vacuum hose to the vacuum port on the appliance.
2. Connect the other end of the hose to the port on your vacuum-compatible container or accessory.
3. Ensure the container lid is securely closed or the wine stopper is properly inserted.
4. Press the "EXTERNAL" button (if available, or use the appropriate vacuum button if the machine automatically detects external connection). The machine will begin to vacuum the container.
5. Once vacuuming is complete, the machine will stop. Remove the hose from both the appliance and the container.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your KitchenBoss vacuum sealer.

• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

• The sealing strip may be hot after use; allow it to cool before cleaning.
