Tips on Sealing a Bag

Make sure you’ve securely latched the appliance lid.

When making a bag from a roll, place bag material
on Sealing Strip 

(I)

, close lid and make sure to use

the Latch 

(D)

to lock lid. Then press Seal Button 

(O)

Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into
the Vacuum Channel or trapped in the seal.

Either

pre-freeze moist food such as raw meat for 1-2 hours
before vacuum packaging, or place a folded paper
towel between food and end of bag to absorb excess
liquids. Just be sure to leave at least 3 inches (7.5 cm)
between paper towel and end of bag so that bag seals
properly with paper towel inside. 

Make sure you give appliance time to cool down.

Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very
heavy usage, appliance will not operate to prevent
overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow
appliance to cool off. 

Tips on Removing Air from a Bag

Make sure you’ve securely latched the appliance lid.

When vacuuming and sealing a bag or canister, make
sure the Latch 

(D)

is in the locked position.  

Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing
Strip

. Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow 

air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag
along Sealing Strip 

(I)

before closing lid and vacuum

packaging. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply
cut bag open and vacuum package again. 

If motor runs for more than 30 seconds without
stopping, consider the following:

You may need to

adjust bag and try again. If you are making the 
initial seal on a piece of bag material with two open
ends, make sure bag is placed on Sealing Strip. 
If you are vacuum packaging with a bag, make sure
open end is placed down inside Vacuum Channel

(G) 

and make sure Accessory Hose 

(A)

is not

attached. If you are vacuum packaging with an
accessory, check Accessory Hose in appliance lid 
and in accessory to ensure a tight fit.

Tips on Storage

Always store appliance with the Latch (D) in the
unlocked position.
