Opening the food container after vacuum packaging
To open the food container, release the air first by turning the knob
switch from "Seal" to "open" position.
Note:

Make sure the food container cover knob is turned to SEAL position
before vacuuming.

At the beginning of the vacuuming process in a vacuum food
container, slightly press down on the food container cover or on the
hose adaptor for a few seconds to make sure the hose is attached
tightly and to avoid air leaking through the gap between the cover
and the food container top rim.

To test the vacuum and seal, simply tug on the cover. It should not
move.
Note:
After finishing the vacuum packing, please always leave
the appliance cover open. Do not fasten the cover as
this will deform the foam gaskets and affect the
appliance function.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Vacuum sealer
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
3. Avoid using abrasive products or materials to clean the unit as
they will scratch the surface.
4. Use a mild dishwashing soap and a warm damp cloth to wipe
away any food residue.
5. Dry thoroughly before using again.
Note:
The foam gaskets around the vacuum chamber should be
dried thoroughly before re-assembling. When re-assembling the
appliance, take care to prevent any damage, and assemble to original
position to ensure a tight seal.
Accessories
Wash all vacuum accessories in warm water with a mild dishwashing
soap, but do not immerse the cover in water.
1. Vacuum container bases (not lids) are top rack dishwasher-safe.
However, vacuum container covers should only be wiped with a
damp cloth.
2. Make sure the accessories are dried thoroughly before using
them again.
3. Vacuum containers and covers may not be used in a microwave
oven or a freezer.
