4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Preparing the Bag and Food

1. Use only Mesliese vacuum sealer bags or other compatible embossed vacuum sealer bags.
2. Ensure the bag is clean and dry.
3. Place the food inside the bag, leaving at least 3 inches of space from the top edge for sealing.
4. For moist foods, pre-freeze or place a paper towel inside the bag to absorb excess liquid.

4.2 Vacuum Sealing Process

1. Open the Lid: Lift the handle to open the vacuum sealer lid.
2. Position the Bag: Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it lies flat across the sealing strips. The considerable deflector on the portable liquid tray helps to place the mouth of the bag correctly.
3. Close and Lock: Close the lid and press down firmly on the locked handle until it clicks into place. The digital LED screen will activate.
4. Select Mode: Choose the appropriate mode based on your food type:
   • Dry: For dry food items (e.g., grains, nuts, coffee beans).
   • Moist: For moist or slightly wet food items (e.g., cooked meats, fruits).
   • VAC & SEAL: Initiates automatic vacuuming and sealing.
   • PULSE (Vac Only): Allows manual control of vacuum pressure for delicate foods. Press and hold for vacuum, release to stop. Then press Seal Only to seal.
   • Seal Only: Seals a bag without vacuuming. Useful for making custom-sized bags from rolls or sealing delicate items after manual vacuuming.
   • Canister/Marinate: For use with external vacuum canisters, jars, or wine bottles. Connect the air suction hose to the port and the container.
5. Start Operation: Press the selected mode button. The digital LED screen will display a countdown indicating the cycle duration.
6. Monitor Progress: The machine will automatically vacuum and seal. Once complete, the display will indicate the end of the cycle.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning the Appliance

The Mesliese VS8009 is made of stainless steel, making it easy to clean.

1. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
2. Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. Clean the vacuum chamber and liquid tray with a damp cloth. Ensure no food particles or liquids remain.
4. Dry all surfaces thoroughly before storing or next use.

5.2 Care for Sealing Strips

The machine features double heat sealing strips for enhanced protection. Proper care ensures their longevity.

• Regularly inspect the sealing strips for any debris or damage. Clean if necessary.
• To prevent deformation and ensure optimal sealing performance, do not lock the lid when the machine is not in use. This allows the sealing gaskets to rest without constant compression.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Mesliese VS8009 Vacuum Sealer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Machine does not power on:
  Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• Machine vacuums but does not seal:
  Check if the bag is properly positioned across the sealing strips. Ensure the lid is fully closed and the handle is locked. The sealing strips might be dirty; clean them as per maintenance instructions.
• Incomplete vacuum or air remains in the bag:
  Verify that the bag opening is completely inside the vacuum chamber and flat. Check the bag for any punctures or tears. Ensure the lid is securely locked. For moist foods, excess liquid might interfere with the vacuum; pre-freeze or use a paper towel.
• Food is crushed during vacuuming:
  For delicate or soft foods, use the PULSE (Vac Only) function to manually control the vacuum pressure. Release the button when the desired vacuum level is reached, then press Seal Only.
• Seal is weak or inconsistent:
  Ensure the sealing strips are clean and free of debris. Check if the bag material is compatible with the vacuum sealer. Allow the machine to cool down between multiple sealing cycles if it has been used continuously.

If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Mesliese customer service for further assistance.
