3. Clean and arrange the open end of the bag before closing it. Make sure nothing has been
left in the upper part and there are no impurities. Your bag must not be crumpled. (These
things could prevent bags from being hermetically sealed)
4. Do not leave too much air in the bag. Press on the bag to evacuate the excess air. Too
much air increases the load on the pump and may cause insufficient motor power. The
machine can then not empty all the air from the bag.
5. Do not pack sharp objects such as fish bones or hard shellfish. Sharp items may penetrate
and tear the bag.
6. Fill 2/3 of a bag with water and close it without removing the air (Seal key). Freeze the
bag. This will enable you to make blocks of ice using your vacuum sealer.
7. Only sealing one bag a minute before allowing the machine to rest is recommended.
8. If the bag is not emptied sufficiently the evacuation process will stop automatically after
30 seconds. In this situation please refer to Chapter 8, Troubleshooting.
c) Rolls of bags
Brandt rolls of bags are sold separately so that you can choose the size you want. To seal your
bag yourself, follow the instructions below.
1. Unroll the bag and place one end on the top of the black rubber strip and then close the
cover. (See Diagram 1)
2. Press on the front pushing on the two sides and using both hands until you hear two
clicks. (See Diagram 2)
3. Press the "Seal" button on the vacuum packer and the red light will come on.
4. When the LED light disappears the bag will be sealed.
5. Press the two locking buttons (see Diagram 3) to release the roll.
6. Take out the roll of bags and cut it to the length desired.
The operation of this vacuum packager is only guaranteed with the manufacturer's bags.
