Place the unit on a dry surface. Make sure the area in front of the unit is unobstructed and
wide enough to accommodate the food bags.
1. Place the food to be preserved inside the bag.

3. Insert the open end of the bag into the clear plastic vacuum chamber. (see Step 1)
4. Close the cover and press down firmly on both sides by using two hands until you hear
two clicks (see, Step 2).

Sealing Indicator Light with light as the bag is automatically vacuumed and sealed.

6. Unlock the cover by pressing the Cover Unlock Buttons and remove your finished bag

Check the appearance of the sealed bag; it should have a stripe across the seal and no
wrinkles, otherwise the seal may not be complete.

It is then safe to unlock the cover.
PLEASE NOTE
► Do not overstuff the bag; leave enough empty length in the open end of the bag (at
least a few inches) so that the bag can be properly placed in the vacuum chamber.
► Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may not seal properly.
► Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing. Foreign matter or
creases on the bag may result in a faulty seal.
► Press the bag to expel excess air before vacuuming it. Too much air inside the bag
may result in a poor vacuum.
► If the food you’re sealing has sharp edges (such as bones or shells) pack the edges
with kitchen paper to avoid tearing the bag
► We suggest you allow one minute of time in between sealing sessions to allow the
sealer to cool.
► When vacuum sealing liquid-based foods (such as soups or stew) freeze them first in
a baking pan or tempered dish before bagging and vacuum sealing them.
► Blanch vegetables by cooking them briefly in boiling water. Allow them to cool then
vacuum seal them in convenient portions.
