Tips on Sealing a Bag  
GeneralTips  
Make sure you’ve securely latched the appliance lid.  
When making a bag from a roll, place bag material  
on Sealing Strip (I), close lid and make sure to use  
the Latch (D) to lock lid. Then press Seal Button (O).  
Make sure you give appliance 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.  
1. Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for the  
heat process of canning. Perishables still need to  
be refrigerated or frozen.  
6. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum  
packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat  
along Sealing Strip (I) before you close lid.

towel between food and end of bag to absorb excess  
liquids. Just be sure to leave at least 7.5 cm between  
paper towel and end of bag so that bag seals properly

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.  
If motor runs for more than 30 seconds without  
stopping, consider the following: 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  
(G) and make sure Accessory Hose (A) is not  
attached. If you are vacuum packaging with a  
canister, check Accessory Hose in appliance lid  
and canister to ensure a tight fit.  
c. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid  
overfilling bags or use a canister. You can also  
place a coffee filter or paper towel inside  
before vacuum packaging.  
11.If appliance does not function, check to 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 (I) before closing lid and vacuum  
packaging. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply  
cut bag open and vacuum package again.  
12.Always store appliance with the Easy-lock Latch  
(D) in the unlocked position.  
d. If your appliance features a Drip Tray (F),  
empty after each use.

COMMERCIAL USE. IF SEALING MORE THAN  
30 BAGS OR CANISTERS IN A ROW, WAIT AT  
LEAST 25 MINUTES BEFORE CONTINUING TO
