BEFORE YOU START BAG SEALING
Before using the Vacuum Sealer, familiarize yourself with the bag sealing functions.
A vacuum bag is sealed when the Seal Bar Heating Element is activated and heats
the bag to its melting point, which then permanently welds the bag layers together,
sealing the bag shut. This appliance comes pre-set from the factory to engage
the Seal Bar Heating Element for 3 seconds. This is the correct amount of time
required to fully seal Vacuum Bags. Different brands of vacuum bags may require
slightly more or slightly less sealing time.
Test seal a couple of bags to be sure that the Seal Time is set properly. The Seal
Time may need to be increased (+) or decreased (-) to optimally seal a bag.
