Pac bags

Specially textured, multi layered 1L and 3.8L bags 

facilitate air removal and lock out air and odours after 

sealing. Bags are heavy duty for multiple use. Bags are 

fridge, freezer, cupboard, microwave and simmer safe.

Bag lock

Bags have zipper tops for easy access to your food.

Sealing circles

Circular guidelines around the perimeter of the bags show 

where heat seals can be made.

Operating your Breville vac

2

Pac

Step 3

Open the Vac

2

Pac lid, and using the securely 

closed bag, line up one of the sealing circles 

on the Vac

2

Pac bag directly over the orange 

guide ring on the Vac

2

Pac. 

Either side of the bag can be used when 

sealing.

Note

A good heat seal is a complete circle with 

even thickness. If the seal looks incomplete 

or deformed, repeat the vacuum sealing 

process in the exact same location. This 

will restore the incomplete seal but will not 

vacuum seal the bag.

To vacuum seal the bag again after restoring 

the seal, use a new sealing circle.

Note

Before first use

Remove and safely discard any packaging 

material or promotional labels before using 

your Breville Vac

2

Pac for the first time. 

Wipe the Vac

2

Pac with a clean, damp cloth. 

Dry thoroughly.

Using your Breville vac

2

Pac

Step 1

 Connect the AC adaptor to the Vac

2

Pac by 

plugging it in to the rear of the appliance. Plug 

the adaptor into a 230/240 volt power outlet 

and switch the power on. When the Vac

2

Pac 

is plugged in, a green light on the ‘RELEASE’ 

button will illuminate. Press the ‘RELEASE’ 

button if the Vac

2

Pac lid is locked into place. 

Note, however, that Vac

2

Pac should always be 

stored in the un-locked position. 

Step 2

Open the lid. Then place food in the Vac

2

Pac 

bag and close the zipper top securely. 

Do not over fill bags as the vacuum sealing 

system may not operate. 

Note

If the zipper top is not completely sealed, the 

sealing process will not be successful.
