Lift up the handle. Open the lid of the device and place one of the open ends of the bag
over the sealing bar and fixate it. The open end of the bag has to be inside the device.
Close the lid of the device.
Press Manual Seal button. The bag will be sealed. The vacuum time flashes with 0. The
pump is working for a short moment, then the sealing time is counted down to 0 and the
corresponding indicator lamp is flashing. It turns off when the process is finished.
Lift up the handle. Open the lid and take out the bag. Now you can use bag for vacuuming.
► Cut the bag at least 8 cm longer than needed. The sealed ends will take up the extra
space.
► Do not overstuff the bag; leave enough empty length in the open end of the bag (at least
a few inches) so that the bag can be properly placed in the vacuum chamber.
► Do not wet the open end of the bag. Wet bags may not seal properly.
► Clean and straighten the open end of the bag before sealing. Foreign matter or creases
on the bag may result in a faulty seal.
► If the food you're sealing has sharp edges (such as bones or shells) pack the edges
with kitchen paper to avoid tearing the bag
► When vacuum sealing liquid-based foods (such as soups or stew) freeze them first in a
baking pan or tempered dish before bagging and vacuum sealing them.
► Blanch vegetables by cooking them briefly in boiling water. Allow them to cool then
vacuum seal them in convenient portions.
► When vacuum sealing unfrozen food, allow at least two additional inches of bag length
for expansion while freezing. Place unfrozen meat or fish on a paper towel and vacuum
seal with the paper towel in the bag to absorb any extra moisture.
► Before storing foods such as tortillas, crepes or bread, use wax or parchment paper
between them to stack the pieces. This will make it easier to remove an individual piece,
reseal the rest and immediately replace them in the freezer.
