HOW TO MAKE CUSTOM SIZED BAGS

1. Pull enough bag material to hold item to be vacuum packaged, plus 7.6 cm. With a pair of scissors,
cut desired bag length from Bag Roll. Make sure to cut in a straight line. Plug in Power Cord.
2. Open the Lid. Place one end of cut bag between Sealing Strip and Lower Sealing Gasket.
DO NOT place open end of bag in the Drip Tray.
3. Close Lid. Position hands on both sides of the Lid. Press firmly on both sides of the Lid and hold
until the motor starts.
NOTE: Sealer will not operate if Lid is not properly closed.
4. Continue to hold the Lid. When the Hands-free Indicator Light illuminates, it is safe to remove
your hands from the Lid. The unit will continue to vacuum and then starts sealing. The Sealing
Indicator Light illuminates when the unit begins sealing the bag.
5. When the motor stops and the Sealing indicator light is no longer illuminated, press the Open/
Cancel button.
6. The custom sized bag is ready for vacuum sealing.
NOTE: The Open/Cancel button can also be used to cancel the process mid-cycle and open the Lid.
The bag will not be sealed when doing this.
CAUTION: • This Vacuum Sealer is equipped with a technologically-advanced, safety system that
will auto-reset the Vacuum Sealer in case of a potential overheat situation. After having
sealed a few bags, the system will automatically shut the unit off for about one minute.
• This sealer is not for commercial use. If sealing more than 30 bags or canisters in a
row, wait at least 25 minutes before continuing to use your vacuum food sealer.
• The unit has a cool down period between cycles. Wait 20 seconds before using again.
