Vacuum process operation
Prevent moisture from being sucked into the machine!
When moisture is sucked the vacuum opening it can cause serious damage that is not
covered under warranty. Hang the bag over your counter so gravity helps or put the
bag shortly in a freezer to make the fluids less viscous.
When moisture is sucked into the machine you should immediately press Stop and
remove any moisture from the vacuum chamber.
Vacuum chamber
Close the lid and press it firmly. Press the Vac
Seal button. The machine will start the vacuum
sealing process. Keep pressing the lid firmly for
at least 5 seconds (or until you notice the lid
stays closed by sufficient vacuum).
Don't vacuum seal to quickly in succession
Wait a minimum of 40 seconds before vacuum sealing another bag to prevent
overheating and damage to the machine.
Place the embossed vacuum bag with the
opening in the vacuum chamber. Place the
opening past the rubber seal strip and first
edge of the gasket ring, but before the second
edge of the gasket ring.
If the opening is not in the chamber, the bag
will not vacuum correctly (or at all).
Make sure the vacuum bag does not cover the
vacuum opening on the right side in the
vacuum chamber.
When the cycle or sealing completed, press the
Release button on the right side of the
machine to open the lid.
You can now remove the vacuum bag.
