2. Press firmly on both sides of the lid to lock it until you hear a "clicking" sound.

5.2 Sealing Moist Food

For moist foods, it is recommended to pat dry the open end of the bag with a kitchen towel before placing it in the vacuum chamber to ensure a strong seal. Select the 'Moist' mode button. The machine will adjust its vacuuming process for optimal results with moist items. Note that sealing moist food may take slightly longer than dry food.

5.3 Using External Vacuum Function

To use the external vacuum function for containers or wine stoppers:

1. Prepare your container or wine stopper with a vacuum port.
2. Connect one end of the air suction hose to the vacuum nozzle on the machine and the other end to the container's air hole.
3. Press the 'Manual' button to start vacuuming. The blue light will be on.
4. Once the desired vacuum level is reached, press the 'Seal' button to stop. The blue light will turn off automatically when the vacuum process is complete.

5.4 Using the Built-in Cutter

The built-in two-way sliding cutter allows you to create custom-sized bags from a roll. Simply pull the bag material across the sealing bar, press down on the cutter button, and slide it across to achieve a clean, straight cut.

5.5 Manual Vacuum Control

For delicate items or when precise vacuum control is needed, use the 'Manual' and 'Seal' buttons. Press and hold 'Manual' to vacuum to your desired level, then press 'Seal' to initiate the sealing process, maintaining the food's shape.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your vacuum sealer:

• Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
• Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water.
• Clean the vacuum chamber and sealing strip regularly to prevent food particles from affecting the seal. Use a soft cloth and mild soap if necessary.
• Ensure the foam gasket is clean and free from debris to maintain a proper vacuum seal.
• Store the machine with the lid unlocked when not in use to prevent compression of the foam gasket.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your vacuum sealer, refer to the following common solutions:

• Machine does not power on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the machine and a working electrical outlet.
• Bag does not vacuum properly: Check that the open end of the bag is placed correctly within the vacuum chamber. Ensure the lid is firmly locked on both sides. Inspect the foam gasket for any debris or damage.
• Seal is inconsistent or weak: Make sure the sealing strip is clean. For moist foods, pat dry the bag opening to remove excess liquid.
• Vacuuming takes too long: Verify that the bag is not overfilled and that there are no leaks in the bag or around the vacuum chamber.

If problems persist, please contact customer support.
