5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Preparing a Vacuum Sealer Bag

1. Cut Bag: If using a roll, pull out the desired length of bag material from the roll storage chamber. Use the built-in bag cutter to cut the bag to size, ensuring enough space (at least 3 inches) above the food item for sealing.
2. Seal One End: Place one open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it lies flat over the sealing strip. Close the lid firmly until the latches engage. Press the "Seal" button. The indicator light will illuminate, then turn off when the seal is complete. Open the lid.
3. Fill Bag: Place the food item into the newly formed bag, leaving at least 3 inches of space from the top edge.

5.2 Vacuum Sealing Food

1. Position Bag: Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it is flat and smooth across the sealing strip and within the vacuum channel.
2. Close Lid: Close the lid firmly until both side latches click into place.
3. Select Mode:
   • Dry Mode: Press the "Dry" button for dry food items. The machine will automatically vacuum and seal.
   • Moist Mode: Press the "Moist" button for moist or juicy food items. This mode uses a slightly longer sealing time. The machine will automatically vacuum and seal.
   • Pulse Mode: For delicate items (e.g., chips, baked goods) that could be crushed by full vacuum. Press and hold the "Pulse" button to vacuum manually. Release the button when the desired vacuum level is reached, then immediately press the "Seal" button to seal the bag.
4. Monitor Process: The indicator light will show the progress. Once the vacuum and sealing process is complete, the light will turn off.
5. Release and Remove: Press the release buttons (if applicable, or lift the lid) to open the lid. Carefully remove the sealed bag.

5.3 Using the External Vacuum Function

This function is for vacuum sealing food in compatible canisters or containers (sold separately).

1. Connect Hose: Attach one end of the accessory hose (if included) to the external vacuum port on the machine and the other end to the port on your vacuum-sealable canister.
2. Close Canister: Ensure the canister lid is properly closed and sealed according to its instructions.
3. Activate: Press the "External Vac" button. The machine will begin to remove air from the canister.
4. Complete: The machine will stop automatically when the vacuum process is complete. Disconnect the hose.
