4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Preparing the Bag
- Place the food item into a vacuum sealer bag, ensuring there is at least 2-3 inches of space between the food and the top of the bag.
- Ensure the open end of the bag is clean, dry, and free of wrinkles.
4.2 Vacuum Sealing Food
- Open the lid of the vacuum sealer.
- Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum channel, ensuring it lies flat across the sealing strip.
- Close the lid firmly until you hear a click, indicating it is locked.
- Select the appropriate mode on the digital display:
- Dry Mode: For dry foods like grains, nuts, or dried fruits.
- Wet Mode: For moist foods like meats, fish, or marinated items. The intelligent design prevents liquid from being drawn into the machine.
- Press the corresponding button (e.g., 'Vacuum Seal' or 'Dry/Wet' button) to start the vacuuming and sealing process. The machine will automatically vacuum the air and then seal the bag.
- Once the process is complete, the indicator light will turn off. Press the release buttons on the sides (if applicable) to open the lid and remove the sealed bag.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
- Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Clean the vacuum channel and sealing strip regularly to prevent food residue buildup. Use a mild detergent if necessary, then wipe dry.

5.2 Storage
Store the vacuum sealer in a cool, dry place. For compact storage, ensure the lid is not fully latched to prevent compression of the sealing gaskets, which can affect performance over time.
