Tips on Sealing a Bag

Make sure appliance lid is securely latched. When making a bag from a roll, place bag material on Sealing Strip (L), close lid and make sure to use the Latch (E) to lock lid.Then press Seal Button (T).

Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into the Vacuum Channel (J) 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 appliance has time to cool down. Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very heavy usage, appliance will not operate to prevent overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off.

Tips on Removing Air from a Bag

Make sure appliance lid is securely latched. When vacuuming and sealing a bag, make sure the Latch (E) is in the locked position.

Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing Strip (L).Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag along Sealing Strip 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, consider the following: If vacuum packaging with a bag, make sure open end is placed down inside Vacuum Channel (J) and make sure Accessory Hose (A) is not attached. If vacuum packaging with an accessory, check Accessory Hose in appliance lid and in accessory to ensure a tight fit.

Tips on Storage

To utilize flip-up storage:

1.Close the lid.

2.Turn Latch (E) halfway to secure for storage

(the halfway position locks appliance lid for storage without compressing the foam gasket and creating unnecessary wear and tear).

3.Push and hold Release Button (C) on the right side of appliance.

4.Raise the front of appliance until it is in the upright position and clicks.

5.Let go of the Release Button.

6.When ready to use again, press Release Button and lower front of appliance.
