5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Vacuum Sealing

  1. Place the food item(s) into a vacuum bag, ensuring the open end is clean and dry.
  2. Open the lid of the vacuum sealer and place the open end of the bag flat into the sealing chamber, ensuring it covers the vacuum nozzle.
  3. Close the lid firmly until both sides latch securely.
  4. Select the appropriate food mode (Dry, Moist, Oily, Powder) using the 'MODE' button.
  5. Press the 'VAC' button to initiate the automatic vacuum and sealing process. The machine will remove air and then automatically seal the bag.
  6. Once the process is complete, the indicator lights will turn off. Press the release buttons on both sides to open the lid and remove the sealed bag.

5.2 Understanding Food Modes

The 7-in-1 multi-functional design offers various modes to optimize preservation for different food types:

  • Dry Mode: Ideal for moisture-free foods such as nuts, dried fruits, and grains.
  • Moist Mode: Suitable for foods with some moisture, like meats, seafood, and marinated items.
  • Oily Mode: Designed for foods with oil or grease content, such as bacon or stewed meats.
  • Powder Mode: For powdered foods like milk powder or coffee powder, it pulls vacuum slowly to prevent drawing powder into the machine.

5.3 Specialized Functions

  • Pulse Mode: Allows manual control over the vacuum intensity, ideal for soft or fragile foods like chips or bread, preventing crushing. Press and hold 'PULSE' to vacuum, release to stop.
  • Seal-Only Mode: Use the 'SEALING' button to seal bags without vacuuming, perfect for resealing opened snack bags or creating custom-sized bags from a roll.
  • Container Mode: Connect the external hose to the appliance and your vacuum-compatible container (jar, box). Press the 'CONTAINER' button to vacuum seal the container.
