6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Using Vacuum Seal Bags

1. Prepare the Bag: If using a roll, use the built-in cutter to create a bag of the desired length. Ensure one end is already sealed. If using pre-cut bags, ensure one end is open.
2. Fill the Bag: Place the food item(s) into the bag, leaving at least 2-3 inches of space between the food and the open end of the bag to allow for proper vacuuming and sealing.
3. Position 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 and is within the vacuum channel.
4. Close the Lid: Press down firmly on both ends of the lid until you hear two "clicks," indicating it is securely latched.
5. Select Mode: Choose either the Dry mode for dry foods or the Moist mode for moist foods. The digital timer will activate.
6. Start Vacuuming and Sealing: Press the Vac Seal button. The machine will automatically vacuum the air out of the bag and then seal it. The digital timer will count down the process.
7. Release: Once the process is complete (digital timer shows "00"), press the release buttons (if applicable) or lift the lid to open. Remove the sealed bag.

2. Slide the cutter across the roll to cut it to your preferred length.
3. Use the Seal function to seal one end of the newly cut bag before filling it with food.

2. Connect the other end of the hose to the port on your vacuum-sealable container or wine stopper.
3. Press the External VAC button. The machine will begin to remove air from the container.
