Removing Air from a Bag
Avoid wrinkles when inserting the bag into the
Vacuum Channel (E).
Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow air
to return into bag. To eliminate any wrinkles while
inserting bag, curl down into the Vacuum Channel
(E), hold bag with two hands gently stretching bag
flat until vacuum pump begins. If you find wrinkles
after sealing bag, simply cut bag open and vacuum
seal again.
Note: Appliance should be used in vertical orientation and not laid on its back.
Note: Appliance will time out after a couple of minutes if vacuum cannot be reached.
