Operating Instructions

Basic Vacuum Sealing (Dry/Moist Foods)

1. Prepare Food: Place the food item into a vacuum sealer bag. Ensure there is at least 3 inches of space between the food and the open end of the bag. The open end must be clean and dry.
2. Open Lid: Press the 'Push Here to Open' button on the side to open the lid.
3. Position Bag: Place the open end of the bag flat into the vacuum chamber, ensuring it is within the rubber gasket.
4. Close and Lock Lid: Close the lid firmly until both sides click into place. The digital display should show "88" to indicate the lid is securely locked. If it shows "OP", the lid is not locked.
5. Select Food Type: Press the "Dry" button for dry food items or the "Moist" button for moist food items.
6. Start Sealing: Press the "Seal" button to initiate the vacuum and sealing process. The machine will automatically remove air and then seal the bag.

3. Monitor the vacuum process. Once the desired vacuum level is reached (before crushing delicate items), press the "Seal" button to seal the bag.

Canister Vacuum

Use the external air suction hose to vacuum seal compatible canisters or containers.

2. Connect the other end of the hose to the port on your vacuum-sealable canister.
3. Ensure the canister lid is properly closed and sealed.
4. Press the "Canister" button on the vacuum sealer. The machine will begin to extract air from the canister.

This function allows you to seal bags without vacuuming, useful for creating custom bags from a roll or sealing delicate items that do not require vacuuming.

1. Place the open end of the bag onto the sealing strip.

3. Press the "Seal" button. The machine will only seal the bag without extracting air.
