Using the Pulse Vacuum function
1. This function is preferred for vacuum
packing, when you want a slight vacuum
effect on foods such as e.g. tomatoes,
chips or similar. Or, if you have moist
foods such as a sauce, where you just
want to drain air from the bag and then
stop the appliance before the liquid is
compressed.
2. Press the “Food” button to select
sealing type on the product to be vacuum
packed: Choose “Dry” for dry foods,
“Moist” for moist foods.
3. Press the “Pulse Vacuum” button
several times until you reach your
desired result, then press the “Seal”
button to seal the bag.

and ensure they are clean and dry.
2. Place your desired food items into
the canister. Ensure not to over fill
the canister.
3. Insert one end of the hose into the
“Hose Port” on the unit and another

vacuuming. To ensure there is no air
leaking between the cover and the
