Before You Start Vacuum-Sealing
1. The vacuum sealer is
intended to be used only
with heat-seal bags which
have at least one side that is
textured for air flow. Do not
use household plastic bags.
2. A vacuum bag is sealed when
the two layers of the bag are
heated from the heat-seal
strip, causing the bag to be
permanently sealed.
3. Wait at least 20 seconds
between operations for heat-
seal strip to cool to prevent
overheating and premature
melting of the bag.
4. There are two ways to close
the vacuum sealer to start the
vacuum or sealing process:
4A
Lower the lid; press and hold
the lid down until vacuuming or
sealing starts.
OR
4B
Use locks if you do not want
to hold the lid down manually.
Lower the lid. Press down on
both corners and push in locks
on both sides to lock lid.
4B.1
The locks will release
automatically after sealing or
vacuum-sealing. If the lid remains
locked, press down corners to
release lid.
