Operating Instructions
A. Basic Vacuum Sealing and Sealing Only
- Prepare the Bag: Ensure the bag is suitable for vacuum sealing (textured bags are recommended for vacuum and seal, while smooth bags can be sealed only). Leave at least 3 inches of space between the food and the top of the bag.
- Place the Bag: Open the lid of the vacuum sealer. Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it lies flat across the sealing strip.
- Close the Lid: Press down firmly on both sides of the lid until you hear a "click" sound, indicating it is securely latched.
- Select Mode:
- For dry food: Press the "Food" button to select "Dry".
- For moist food: Press the "Food" button to select "Moist".
- For normal vacuum pressure: Press the "Mode" button to select "Normal".
- For gentle vacuum pressure (for delicate items): Press the "Mode" button to select "Gentle".
- Start Process: Press the "Vac Seal" button to begin the vacuuming and sealing process. The indicator lights will show the progress.
- Monitor Progress: The machine will automatically vacuum the air and then initiate the sealing process.
- Finish: Once the "Seal" button's indicator light turns off, the sealing is complete. Press the buttons on both sides of the machine to open the lid and remove the sealed bag.
- Important Note: Opening the machine before the "Seal" light goes out will cause sealing failure and leaks.
