The "Pulse" button provides manual control over the vacuuming process. Press and hold the "Pulse" button to vacuum, and release it to stop. This is ideal for soft or delicate items like chips, bread, or baked goods, preventing crushing while still achieving a good seal. After pulsing, press the "Seal" button to complete the process.
