Hints for best vacuuming performance
1. Do not put too much stuff inside the bag: leave enough empty space
in the open end of the bag so that the bag can be placed in the
vacuum chamber area without creating wrinkles or ripples;
2. Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags will cause difficulty to
heat-seal tightly. If the food has moisture, or the bag is wet, you can
choose the 'Moist' function which is designed for a longer sealing
time and seals better for wet bags.
3. Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing. Make
sure nothing is left on the open area of the bag, no wrinkle or
creased lines should appear on the open panel, foreign objects or
creased bag may cause difficult to seal tightly.
4. Do not leave too much air inside the bag. Press the bag to allow
extra air to escape from the bag before vacuuming it. Too much air
inside the bag increases the vacuum pump loading and may cause
the motor insufficient power to draw away all the air inside the bag.
5. Do not vacuum packaging objects with sharp points like fish bones
and hard shells! Sharp points may penetrate and tear the bag! You
may want to use a container instead of a bag
to store such stuff.
6. Suggest to vacuum seal one bag within 1 minute, to let the
appliance resume enough.
7. If it
’s not reach the required vacuum for some unknowable reason,
the vacuum system will shut automatically after 60 seconds
,
in this
situation, please check if the bag is leak, or not placed properly or
any other reasons.
8. Make sure there is no crack or deformation, or small particles
resting on the foam gaskets around the vacuum chamber. When
this happens, take it out and wash and dry it thoroughly, or replace
with a new one.
