- Smart Vac: This automatic mode detects the optimal vacuum level and sealing time for most food items, providing simple yet precise operation.
- Customized Vac: Allows manual adjustment of vacuum time and sealing time for specific needs or delicate items.
- Marinate/Accessories: Use this function with the external vacuum hose for marinating food in containers or for vacuum sealing external canisters and jars (requires compatible accessories).

External Vacuum Sealing
