How to Use the Manual Seal Button

Use the Manual Seal Button when you want to seal a FoodSaver
Bag before a complete vacuum has been created. This feature is
useful when vacuum packaging fragile items such as bread, baked
goods and berries so they don't get crushed.
Open the lid.
1
Place the items to be vacuum packaged into the bag.
2
Place the open end of the bag down into the Vacuum Channel.
3
Close the lid.
4
Press and release the On button.
5
The appliance will automatically
begin the vacuum process.
To stop the process before all of
6
the air is removed, press and
release the Manual Seal Button. The vacuum will stop within 3
seconds and the sealing process will begin.
When finished vacuuming and sealing, the red sealing light will
7
blink, indicating the appliance is reprogramming itself. The lid
will open slightly. Do not lift the lid until the red sealing light
stops blinking and the lid has reset to the ready position.
Open the lid and remove the bag.

NOTE: It takes approximately 2 to 3 seconds to stop the vacuum
process and seal the bag. If you are using a small bag or pack-
aging a fragile item, we recommend that you press down on the
Manual Seal Button immediately after releasing the On button.
