Operating Instructions

Sealing a Bag

1. Prepare Bag: Place items into a vacuum sealer bag, leaving at least 2-3 inches of space from the top edge. Ensure the inside of the bag opening is clean and dry.
2. Position Bag: Open the lid of the vacuum sealer. Place the open end of the bag flat across the sealing bar, ensuring it is centered and smooth.

5. Monitor Progress: The LED lights and digital display will indicate the vacuuming and sealing progress.
