WET VAC & SEAL Tips
• If sealing liquid or moist food, place
Vacuum Sealer on top of Roll Caddy to
elevate bag and only fill bag halfway.
• Stand bag up on counter vertically to
eliminate air bubbles. If necessary, rest
bag in an open kitchen drawer in order
to keep it upright. For best results,
use Hamilton Beach Easy Fill Vacuum
Sealer bags and do not exceed MAX
LIQUID FILL line (approximately half
full).
• Lift Lid and align left edge of bag to the
left indicator line and ensure the open
end of bag is centered within Vacuum
Chamber.
• Cycle time will be longer for WET VAC
& SEAL than DRY VAC & SEAL.
• A small amount of liquid may collect in
the chamber. This is normal. Wipe out
Vacuum Chamber between each cycle
as needed.
w CAUTION Burn Hazard.
Seal bar and Date Code Heater

DRY VAC & SEAL TIPS
• If using DRY VAC & SEAL, you may
use the Vacuum Sealer with or without
Roll Caddy.
NOTES:

Bar indicate an error. See
Troubleshooting section.
• To prevent overheating, allow 20
seconds between each bag that is
vacuum-sealed.
• To ensure proper seal, keep Lid
closed during use.

between each cycle.
