General Vacuum Sealing Process

1. Prepare the Bag: Place the food item into a vacuum sealer bag, ensuring that the open end of the bag is clean, dry, and free from wrinkles. Leave at least 2-3 inches of space between the food and the top of the bag.
2. Position the Bag: Open the lid of the vacuum sealer. Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum channel, ensuring it is positioned correctly under the bag stoppers and over the sealing strip.
3. Close the Lid: Firmly press down on both sides of the lid until you hear a distinct "click," indicating that the latches are securely closed.
4. Select Mode (if applicable): For dry foods, the default mode is usually sufficient. For moist foods, select the 'Wet' mode if available on your model.
5. Start Sealing: Press the 'Vacuum Seal' button. The machine will automatically extract air and then seal the bag. A digital countdown timer will display the progress.
6. Monitor: Wait for the indicator light to turn off or the countdown to complete.
7. Release: Once the process is complete, press the side release buttons to open the lid. Carefully remove the sealed bag.

Dry Mode Operation

Use Dry mode for solid, dry food items such as nuts, grains, dried fruits, and cured meats. Ensure the bag is completely dry inside before sealing.

Wet Mode Operation

Use Wet mode for moist or liquid-rich foods such as fresh meats, seafood, and marinated items. This mode adjusts the vacuum and sealing time to accommodate moisture, preventing liquids from being drawn into the machine and ensuring a strong seal.

• Unplug: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.

• Vacuum Channel: Clean the vacuum channel and drip tray (if applicable) with a damp cloth to remove any food particles or liquids. Ensure it is completely dry before next use.
• Sealing Strip: Gently wipe the sealing strip with a dry cloth. Do not scratch or damage the sealing strip, as this can affect sealing performance. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
