HOW TO VACUUM SEAL DELICATE OR MOIST FOODS
Sealing Delicate Foods:
To seal delicate foods such as muffins or pastries, you have the option to bypass the auto-seal
function. Simply press the Vacuum Button immdeiately followed by the Seal Button and the vacuum
pump will stop as the bag is sealed. This will prevent soft foods from being crushed.
Hint: For best results freeze foods that are soft, such as muffins, cakes and pies etc. so they maintain
their shape when vacuum sealed.
Sealing Moist Foods:
When sealing moist foods, such as sauces or stews, you have the option to instantly seal the bag and
bypass the auto-seal function if you see any liquid being drawn from the bag or whenever you believe the
process is complete. Simply press the Vacuum Button immediately followed by the Seal Button and the
vacuum pump will stop as the bag is sealed.
Hint: For best results liquids should be frozen prior to vacuum sealing. Remove excess juices before
sealing whenever possible.
HOW TO SEAL BAGS WITHOUT VACUUMING
1. Place item to be sealed in pre-cut or custom sized bag.
2. Place bag at least 1/2" above the Sealing Strip. Make sure bag is straight (with no wrinkles) and
