How to use the Manual Seal button

Using your Food Preserver continued

The Manual Seal button prevents delicate, fragile foods from being crushed by the vacuum process, such as biscuits and berries.

1.Place the food in the bag without creasing it excessively or stretching the surfaces.

NOTE: Eliminate any liquids or food residues from the area inside the bag that will be sealed. This will ensure a perfect seal every time.

2.Place the bag and its contents in front of the appliance and place the open end of the bag over the vacuum chamber. See Figure 1.

3.Close the lid.

4.Press and hold down firmly the ‘ON’ button to commence the vacuum packing cycle. By keeping watch of the bag whilst air is being extracted, you will be able to decide when the vacuum cycle should be overridden so as to prevent delicate foods being crushed. Continue pressing the ‘ON’ button and now press the ‘Manual Seal’ button at the same time. See Figure 3.

5. Lift the lid and remove the bag.

NOTE: Check the quality of the seal obtained. It should appear as a regular, wrinkle-free, horizontal strip with the internal ridges of the bag flattened.

Pressing the Manual Seal button causes the sealing light to turn on and the sealing process starts immediately. Wait until the seal light turns off.
