Operating Instructions

The Danicub vacuum sealer offers six distinct sealing modes for optimal food preservation.

General Vacuum Sealing Steps:

1. Place the food item inside a vacuum bag, ensuring the open end of the bag is clean and dry.
2. Open the lid of the vacuum sealer and place the open end of the vacuum bag into the vacuum chamber. Ensure the bag is flat and extends across the sealing strip.
3. Close the lid firmly, pressing down on both sides until you hear a locking sound, indicating it is securely latched.
4. Select the desired sealing mode (see "Sealing Modes" section below).
5. Press the corresponding button to start the vacuum and sealing process. The machine will automatically complete the cycle.
6. Once the indicator light turns off, the process is complete. Press the lock release buttons on both sides to open the lid and remove the sealed bag.

Sealing Modes:

The vacuum sealer is equipped with six modes to cater to different food types and preservation needs:

• DRY (Green light): Optimized for dry food items such as nuts, grains, and dried fruits.
• WET (Red light): Designed for moist or wet food items, like fresh meat, fish, or marinated foods.
• NORMAL: Standard vacuum and seal function for most daily food items.
• MANUAL: Allows the user to control the vacuum effect. Press the "MANUAL VAC" button repeatedly to achieve the desired vacuum level, then press "SEAL" to seal the bag. This is useful for delicate items.
• SEAL: This mode only seals the bag without vacuuming. It can be used to reseal bag rolls or other bags that do not require vacuuming.
• OUTSIDE: For use with external vacuum containers, such as wide-mouth canning jars or wine bottles, using the air suction hose.

External Vacuum System:

To use the external vacuum function with jars or containers:

1. Connect one end of the air suction hose to the external vacuum port on the side of the sealer and the other end to the port on your compatible external container (jars, containers, wine corks).
2. Ensure the container lid is properly sealed or the wine cork is securely in place.
3. Press the "OUTSIDE VAC" button on the control panel. The machine will begin to remove air from the container.
4. Once the vacuum is complete, the machine will stop automatically. Remove the hose.

Bag Compatibility:

The Danicub vacuum sealer is compatible with various types of vacuum bags. For optimal vacuum sealing, textured vacuum bags are recommended. Non-textured simple bags can be sealed but not vacuumed. Mylar aluminum foil bags and non-textured folding-angle bags can be both vacuumed and sealed.
