Operating Your Vacuum Sealer
To make a bag:
1.Place the unit on a firm, level surface near an electrical outlet.
2.Insert the roll of bagging material in the roll compart- ment in the sealer. We recommend you use only the plastic material supplied by Deni, for Freshlock models.
3.Plug into an AC electrical outlet.
4.When starting a new roll, remove the sticker from the outside of the roll. Pull the bagging material 1 inch past the sealing wire. Close the lid. NOTE: The roll is folded into a double layer.
5.Close the lid and press down equally on both the left and right sides of the lid. Both indicator lights will light up. In about 6 seconds the green “Seal” indicator light will go out and the seal is complete.
6.Lift the lid and tear off the excess bagging material. NOTE: When closing the lid and applying pressure, two
distinct clicks will be heard. These are the switches which operate the two functions of the bag sealer.
7.After the roll is started, pull the bagging material to the desired bag width and seal/cut by closing the lid and pressing down on both sides of the lid. NOTE: The first side of the bag will be sealed from the previous seal.
8.When the green “Seal” light goes out, peel the finished bag off the wire, ensuring no bagging material adheres to the sealing wire. Now you have a bag sealed on three sides ready to be filled and vacuum sealed. NOTE: The bottom of the bag is where the white label strip is.
Sealing a filled bag without vacuum action:
1.Make sure no food or liquid remains in the top portion of the bag where the seal will be made. This may interfere with the effectiveness of the seal.
2.Place the open end of the bag over the sealing wire, making sure that the bagging material is flat, with no creases along the line of the seal.
3.Close the lid and press down on both sides of the lid, until the green “Seal” light goes out.
NOTE: Remove the bag from the wire immediately after the green “Seal”
light goes off. If the bag starts to cool it may stick to the wire and create a hole in the seal when pulled off the wire.
