Setup and Bag Preparation
- Unroll and Cut: Pull the desired length of bag material from the roll. Use scissors or the integrated cutter on your vacuum sealer to cut the material, ensuring enough length to accommodate your food item and leave space for sealing.
- Seal One End: Place one end of the cut bag into your vacuum sealer's sealing strip. Close the lid and select the "Seal" function to create a bottom seal for your custom-sized bag.
- Fill the Bag: Open the newly sealed bag and place your food item inside. Ensure the food does not extend into the area where the final seal will be made, leaving at least 2-3 inches of space from the top edge.

Operating Instructions
These rolls are compatible with most major vacuum sealer machines. Refer to your specific vacuum sealer's manual for detailed machine operation.
- Position the Bag: Place the open end of the filled bag into the vacuum channel of your sealer. Ensure the bag lies flat and smooth across the sealing bar, without wrinkles.
- Close and Lock: Close the lid of your vacuum sealer. For some models, you may need to press down firmly on both sides until you hear a click, indicating it's locked.
- Select Function:
- For most foods, select the "Vac Seal" function. The machine will automatically remove air and then seal the bag.
- For delicate or moist foods, you may use the "Seal" function only, or manually control the vacuum process if your sealer has a pulse vacuum option, to prevent crushing or liquid extraction.
- Monitor Process: The machine's indicator lights will show the progress of vacuuming and sealing. Once complete, the lights will typically turn off or change color.
- Remove Bag: Open the vacuum sealer lid and carefully remove your sealed food bag.

Maintenance and Reusability
Bonsenkitchen vacuum sealer bags are designed for durability and reusability under certain conditions.
- Cleaning: After use, bags that contained non-oily or non-raw foods can be washed with warm, soapy water and thoroughly dried. They are also dishwasher safe.
- Re-sealing: If a bag was cut to open, you can trim the old seal and re-seal the bag, provided there is enough material remaining and the bag is clean.
- Inspection: Always inspect bags for punctures, tears, or damage before reuse to ensure an effective seal.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with sealing or vacuuming, consider the following:
- Incomplete Seal: Ensure the bag is placed flat and smooth across the sealing bar. Check for food debris or moisture on the sealing area.
- Air Leakage: Verify that the bag is not punctured or torn. Ensure the vacuum sealer lid is properly closed and locked. For rolls, make sure both ends are securely sealed.
- Insufficient Vacuum: Check that the open end of the bag is fully inside the vacuum channel. Ensure the vacuum sealer's gaskets are clean and free from debris.
For machine-specific troubleshooting, consult your vacuum sealer's instruction manual.
