Heat Selector Switch:

By adjusting the heat selector switch, you can use your vacuum sealer to seal many other plastic bags of different thicknesses as well as plastic-line foil wrap (i.e. potato chip bags).

When sealing FRESHLOCK bags from the supplied polyethylene roll, use the medium setting.

In general, when sealing plastic that is about the same thickness as the FRESHLOCK bags, use the medium setting. When sealing plastic that is thicker, use the high setting. When sealing plastic that is thinner or lighter, use the low setting. When sealing a traditional plastic wrap or sandwich storage bag, use the low setting. To seal plastic-lined foil wrap, use the high setting.

If you are not sure which position of the heat-selector switch to select for the material you are using, place the heat selector switch in the position you think is correct and then seal a small portion of the material to test the position.

If you have difficulty removing the material from the cutting (center) wire, then move the switch to the next highest setting (i.e. medium to high).

If the material pulls away from the cutting and sealing wires too easily, or leaves a visibly poor seal, then move the switch to the next lowest setting (i.e. medium to low).

These are only guidelines for using the heat selector switch. The best setting for the material you will seal will be determined by your own results.

Hints and Tips

After placing the vacuum nozzle inside the bag for vacuuming and before lowering the lid to vacuum seal, open the bag wide, keeping the bottom part of the open end locked under the vacuum nozzle. This helps to create an air channel that enhances the vacuum action.

To achieve an efficient seal, ensure that the area to be sealed is completely clean and dry.

Also ensure that there are no creases or wrinkles in the bag which would prevent a perfect seal.

Allow approximately 11/2” margin between the food and seal to allow for expansion when freezing and cooking.

Do not let up pressure on the lid between operating the air-extraction (vacuum) feature and activating the sealing mechanism. This could result in air re-entering the bag that you are sealing.
