bag so that the bag can be easily placed over the heat seal bar.
2. To avoid overfi lling, always leave at least 5cm of bag material
between bag contents and top of bag. Then leave at least one
additional 2cm of bag material for each time you plan to reuse bag.

vacuuming operation.

removing the air before sealing items airtight the Vacuum Sealer
extends the life of food naturally.
