4. Operating Instructions

Vacuum Sealing Food in Bags

The vacuum sealer works with the provided reusable vacuum bags. Ensure the bags are clean and dry before use.

1. Prepare Food: Place the food item into a vacuum bag. Ensure the food is dry, especially if it contains liquids, to prevent damage to the sealer.
2. Seal the Bag: Use the provided sealing clip to securely close the zipper of the vacuum bag. Ensure no gaps remain.
3. Position Sealer: Place the vacuum sealer tip flat against the air valve (white circle) on the bag.
4. Start Vacuuming: Press the power button on the sealer. The device will automatically begin to remove air from the bag.
5. Automatic Shut-off: The sealer will automatically turn off once the correct vacuum pressure is reached (typically within 5 seconds).

Using the Vacuum Wine Stoppers

The vacuum sealer can also be used with the included wine stoppers to preserve opened wine bottles.

1. Insert Stopper: Place a vacuum wine stopper firmly into the neck of the opened wine bottle.
2. Position Sealer: Align the vacuum sealer over the top of the wine stopper.
3. Start Vacuuming: Press the power button. The sealer will remove air from the bottle.
4. Automatic Shut-off: The sealer will automatically stop once the desired vacuum is achieved.

Tips for Different Food Types

• Meats and Foods with Liquids: For foods like meat, poultry, or items with high moisture content, it is recommended to pat them dry with a paper towel before sealing. Alternatively, place the food in a regular food-safe bag inside the vacuum bag to prevent moisture from entering the unit.
• Fresh Vegetables and Fruits: Some fresh produce may release gases over time, causing the vacuum bag to bulge. It is advisable to re-seal these items after two days to maintain a tight seal and optimal freshness.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Sealer not turning on: Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect to the USB cable and allow sufficient charging time.
• Incomplete vacuum seal:
  • Check that the bag's zipper is completely closed and sealed with the clip.
  • Ensure the vacuum sealer tip is placed flat and securely over the bag's air valve.
  • Verify that the food item is dry and no moisture is obstructing the air valve.
• Bag bulging after sealing: This can occur with fresh vegetables and fruits that naturally release gases. Re-seal the bag after a couple of days to maintain the vacuum.
• Liquid entering the sealer: If liquid is accidentally drawn into the sealer, immediately stop operation. Disassemble any removable parts (if applicable) and allow the unit to dry completely before attempting to use it again. Refer to the safety information regarding liquid ingestion.
