How to...
Remove Air from a Bag
Avoid wrinkles when inserting the bag into the
Vacuum Channel (G).
Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow air
to return into bag. To eliminate any wrinkles while
inserting bag, gently slide bag curl down into the
Vacuum Channel (G), and hold bag with two hands
gently stretching bag flat until vacuum pump begins.
If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply cut bag
open and vacuum seal again.
