release the lid lock, then lift the Vacuum Lid to open.

of the bag, fill the bag, then unfold the top portion to seal.

Vacuum Chamber. The Vacuum Post cannot be blocked or covered by the bag. Make
sure there are no wrinkles or creases in the bag in the sealing area.

may occur. Press both of the Lid Release Buttons on each side of the Vacuum Sealer
to release the lid lock, then lift the Vacuum Lid to open.
