How to vacuum seal

System Bag (or create a bag as described
on page 10).
2. Place items in a bag, allowing at least
10cm of space between bag contents
and top of bag (Fig.1). The extra space
is required to allow the bag to seal
tightly around contents.
3. OPTIONAL: If you wish to customise the
vacuum sealing process you may select
Speed Setting
5
and Food Setting

and Dry Food.

Automatically Vacuums and Seals.
To Vacuum: DO NOT PRESS THE SEAL
BUTTON. Using two hands, insert open
end of bag, curl down, into Vacuum
Channel

5. Continue to hold bag until vacuum pump
starts. The Vacuum Progress lights

will illuminate.

begin automatic sealing process.
