• Use only UPRUBE brand vacuum sealer bags or other compatible textured vacuum sealer bags.
• Ensure the bag is clean and dry inside and out.
• Leave at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) of space between the food and the top of the bag to allow for proper vacuuming and sealing.
• For moist foods, pre-freeze or place a paper towel inside the bag to absorb excess moisture.

6.2. Vacuum Sealing Dry Food

• Gaskets: Check the gaskets around the vacuum chamber and lid for any food debris or damage. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Ensure they are properly seated for an airtight seal.
