Position the appliance in a dry place on
a level surface, making sure that the work
area in front of the appliance itself is clear
of obstacles and there is enough room to
accommodate the bags with the food to
be packed. Plug into 120-volt 60 Hz
AC only outlet.
Automatic One-Touch Food Packaging
System bags are available in two widths:
8 inches and 1 1 1/2 inches. Choose the bag
size suited for the food you intend to
preserve. Check that the bag you are going
to use is at least 3 inches longer than the
food to be packaged, taking into account an
additional 3/4 inch for each time the bag
will be subsequently reused.
Note: If you are using pre-cut bags, go
directly to step 4 below.
Unroll a bag of suitable length and cut
it using the Bag Cutter as shown in
Figure 1, moving it from side to side.
Then seal an open side of the cut bag
as follows:
Lift the Lid into the open position.
Seal either of the two open ends of the bag
by positioning it on the Sealing Gasket with
the smooth side facing down (Figure 2).
Close the Lid and push down on the front
corners of the Lid with your thumbs, then
push the Locking Tabs into the locked
position (Figure 3). The appliance will
automatically carry out the complete
vacuum packing cycle. Wait until the
ON/SEAL light goes off.
