5.1. Making a Custom Bag from a Roll
If you are using a vacuum sealer roll, you will first need to create a bag by sealing one end.
- Open the lid of the vacuum sealer.
- Place one end of the bag roll across the Sealing Strip, ensuring it is flat and wrinkle-free.
- Close the lid and press down firmly on both sides until you hear two "click" sounds, indicating the machine is properly locked.
- Press the "SEAL" button. The indicator light will illuminate.
- Wait for a few seconds until the "SEAL" light turns off. This indicates the sealing process is complete.
- Press the release buttons on both sides to open the lid and retrieve your newly sealed bag.

5.2. Vacuum Sealing Food
This process applies to both pre-cut bags and custom-made bags.
- Place the food item(s) into the vacuum sealer bag. Ensure there is at least 3 inches of space between the food and the top of the bag to allow for proper sealing.
- Open the lid of the vacuum sealer.
- Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it lies flat and is not over the sealing strip.
- Close the lid and press down firmly on both sides until you hear two "click" sounds, indicating the machine is properly locked.
- Select Food Mode: Press the "FOOD" button to choose between "Dry" or "Moist" mode based on your food type.
- Dry Mode: For solid food items without moisture.
- Moist Mode: For food items with some moisture, such as raw meat or marinated foods.
- Select Pressure Mode: Press the "PRESSURE" button to choose between "Normal" or "Soft" mode.
- Normal Mode: For firm food items.
- Soft Mode: For delicate or crushable food items, allowing for manual control of vacuum pressure.
- Press the "VAC & SEAL" button. The machine will automatically vacuum the air from the bag and then seal it. The indicator lights will show the progress.
- Once the "SEAL" light turns off, the process is complete. Press the release buttons on both sides to open the lid and remove your vacuum-sealed food.

5.3. External Vacuuming (Canisters, Jars, Wine Bottles)
The Mesliese VS6601S can also be used to vacuum seal external containers such as canisters, jars, and wine bottles using the included air suction hose.
- Ensure your external container is designed for vacuum sealing and has a compatible port.
- Insert one end of the air suction hose into the external vacuum port on the vacuum sealer machine (usually located on the side or top).
- Insert the other end of the hose firmly into the port on your vacuum-sealable container.
- Press the "EXTERNAL VAC" button (if available, or refer to specific external vacuuming instructions on the machine). The machine will begin to extract air from the container.
- Once the vacuuming is complete, the machine will stop automatically. Remove the hose from both the machine and the container.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your vacuum sealer.
- Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. The stainless steel surface is designed for easy cleaning.
- Cleaning the Vacuum Chamber: The smooth cambered vacuum chamber can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth to remove any food residue. Ensure it is dry before closing the lid.
- Cleaning the Sealing Strip: Gently wipe the sealing strip with a soft, damp cloth. Be careful not to damage the heating element.
- Checking Gaskets: Periodically inspect the foam gaskets around the vacuum chamber for any signs of wear, tears, or food debris. Clean them gently. Replace if damaged (replacement gaskets are included).
- Storage: Store the machine with the lid unlocked to prevent compression of the gaskets, which can lead to poor sealing over time. Store in a cool, dry place. Its compact size (14.9 x 5.7 x 3.5 inches) makes it easy to store in a kitchen drawer or cabinet.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not turn on. | No power supply. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the machine and a working electrical outlet. |
| Bag does not vacuum properly. | Lid not properly locked; Bag not correctly placed; Gaskets are dirty or damaged; Bag has a hole. | Press down firmly on both sides of the lid until two "clicks" are heard. Ensure the open end of the bag is flat inside the vacuum chamber. Clean or replace gaskets. Inspect bag for punctures and use a new bag if necessary. |
| Bag does not seal. | Sealing strip is dirty or wet; Bag is not heat-sealable; Overheating. | Clean and dry the sealing strip. Ensure you are using proper vacuum sealer bags. Allow the machine to cool down for 20-30 seconds between seals if performing multiple operations. |
| Air re-enters bag after sealing. | Improper seal; Puncture in bag; Food with sharp edges. | Re-seal the bag. Inspect the bag for small holes and use a new bag. For sharp foods, consider wrapping them in a paper towel before sealing to prevent punctures. |
| Machine is noisy during operation. | Normal operation sound; Machine not on a stable surface. | Some noise is normal due to the powerful vacuum pump. Ensure the machine is on a flat, stable surface to minimize vibration. |
