®

 fresh 

container. Press firmly on all sides to ensure lid is properly closed  
(Fig. 1).

STEP 2

Place container on unit base using platform as a guide (Fig. 2). 

STEP 3

Simultaneously press both release buttons at the vacuum head to 
adjust its height (Fig. 3). Press the vacuum head on the container 
until it clicks, the green ready indicator will turn on.

NOTE:

 The green light will only illuminate if the vacuum head has 

made secure contact with the top of the container.

STEP 4

Push start button to initiate vacuum sealing process (Fig. 4). 

STEP 5

The vacuum indicator on the container “dimple” will form early 
during the vacuum sealing process. Do not stop the process. Allow 
the vacuum to complete the cycle before removing the container from 
the machine. The unit will stop automatically once the container is 
vacuum sealed (Fig. 5).

NOTE:

 If the food you are vacuum sealing contains flour, bread crumbs 

or other powdery foods, some of it might be sucked out of container 
and will be stored in reservoir located at vacuum head. If it fills out 
completely, the unit will automatically stop working. Please make sure 
to empty it out and clean after each use.

STEP 6

Simultaneously press both release buttons again to lift vacuum head 
up and remove fresh container (Fig. 6). Now you can store your fresh 
container in refrigerator, pantry or take on the go.
