6.1. General Vacuum Sealing Steps (for Bags)

For optimal results, use LKKNC vacuum sealer bags or other compatible textured vacuum bags.

1. Prepare the Bag: Place the food item inside a vacuum sealer bag, leaving at least 2-3 inches of space between the food and the open end of the bag. Ensure the open end is clean and dry.
2. Position the Bag: Open the lid of the vacuum sealer. Place the open end of the bag flat into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it lies completely within the chamber and over the sealing strip.
3. Close the Lid: Press down firmly on both sides of the lid until you hear two distinct "pops," indicating that the lid is securely latched.
4. Select Mode: Choose the appropriate mode for your food type:
   • Dry Mode: For dry items like nuts, cereals, or crackers.
   • Moist Mode: For moist or juicy foods like raw meat, fish, or marinated items.
5. Start Vacuum & Seal: Press the "Vac Seal" button. The machine will automatically vacuum the air out of the bag and then proceed to seal it. The digital timer will display the progress.
6. Release: Once the process is complete (digital timer shows '00' or light turns off), press the release buttons on both sides of the machine to open the lid. Remove the sealed bag.

6.2. Seal Only Function

Use the "Seal" button to create a seal without vacuuming. This is useful for sealing bags of delicate items that might be crushed by vacuuming, or for creating custom-sized bags from a roll.

1. Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it lies over the sealing strip.
2. Close and latch the lid securely.
3. Press the "Seal" button. The machine will heat the sealing strip to create a seal.
4. Once complete, release the lid and remove the sealed bag.

6.3. External Vacuum Function (for Canisters, Jars, Wine Stoppers)

The external vacuum function allows you to vacuum seal compatible canisters, jars, and wine bottles using the included external air suction hose.

1. Connect one end of the external air suction hose to the external vacuum port on the vacuum sealer.
2. Connect the other end of the hose to the port on your vacuum-sealable canister, jar, or wine stopper.
3. Ensure the lid of the canister/jar is properly closed or the wine stopper is securely in place.
4. Press the "External VAC" button. The machine will begin to extract air.
5. Once the vacuum is achieved (the machine will stop automatically or you can press "Stop"), remove the hose.

The integrated two-way sliding cutter allows you to create custom-sized bags from vacuum sealer rolls.

1. Place the vacuum sealer bag roll across the cutting channel.
2. Slide the cutter from one side to the other to cut the bag to your desired length.
3. Use the "Seal" function to seal one end of the newly cut bag, creating a custom pouch.

The LKKNC Vacuum Sealer Machine features a compact design for easy storage.
