Tips on Sealing a Bag
Make sure you’ve securely latched the appliance lid.
When making a bag from a roll, place bag material
on Sealing Strip
(K), close lid and make sure to use
the Latch
(D) to lock lid. Then press Seal Button (R).
Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into
the Vacuum Channel or trapped in the seal. Either
pre-freeze moist food such as raw meat for 1-2 hours
before vacuum packaging, or place a folded paper
towel between food and end of bag to absorb excess
liquids. Just be sure to leave at least 3 inches between
paper towel and end of bag so that bag seals properly
with paper towel inside.
Make sure you give appliance time to cool down.
Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very
heavy usage, appliance will shut off automatically to
prevent overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to
allow appliance to cool off.
Tips on Removing Air from a Bag
Make sure you’ve securely latched the appliance lid.
When vacuuming and sealing a bag or canister, make
sure the Latch
(D) is in the locked position.
Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing
Strip
. Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow
air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag
along Sealing Strip
(K) before closing lid and vacuum
packaging. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply
cut bag open and vacuum package again.
If motor runs for more than 30 seconds without
stopping,
you may need to adjust bag and try again.
If you are making the initial seal on a piece of bag
material with two open ends, make sure bag is
placed on Sealing Strip. If you are vacuum packaging
with a bag, make sure open end is placed down
inside Vacuum Channel and make sure Accessory
Hose is not attached. If you are vacuum packaging
with an accessory, check Accessory Hose in appliance
lid and in accessory to ensure a tight fit.
Tips on Storage
Always store appliance with the Latch in the
unlocked position.
