recommended. However if it
is necessary to use an
extension cord, ensure that
the extension cord is equal to
or greater than the power
consumpon of the
appliance to avoid
overheang of the appliance
and extension cord. Do not

Appliance Funcons
1. Vacuum and seal/cancel
This buon has two funcons depending on the machines status:
Cancel: Stops the operaon of the machine.
Vacuum and seal: At working condion, vacuuming or sealing
2. Vacuum
There are two buon opons to select the vacuum pressure:
Normal: For regular item storage in normal vacuum pressure.
Gentle: For so, crushable item storage where less pressure is desired.
3. Sealing me
There are 3 buons opon for a choice of sealing me:
Dry: For bags without moisture content, requires a shorter heat sealing me.
Moist: For bags with wet contents, a normal heat sealing me.
Extended: For bags with very wet/moist foods, an extended heat sealing me.

6
4. Canister: To vacuum canisters
through a hose.
5. Marinade: To marinate food in a mar-
inang bowl or canister.
6. Manual Seal
This buon can be used to seal the open
end of a bag without using the vacuum
funcon, it can also be used to make a
bag from a bag roll. When the ‘Vacuum
& Seal’ funcon is in operaon this
buon stops the motor pump and starts
to seal the bag so there is less vacuum
pressure in the bag and it can be con-
trolled by the user. The appliance needs
to cool down for 15 seconds aer each
sealing cycle.
7. Pulse Vacuum
Press the Pulse Vacuum buon and the
appliance will start to vacuum; let go
and the sealer stops. This can be repeat-
ed unl the bag is vacuumed to require-
ment. The bag can then be sealed using
the Manual Seal buon.
8. Progress LED Indicators
The indicators show the progress of all
working processes.
9. LED Indicators
Indicates the status of the vacuum/seal
process.
10. Hose Port
To insert the hose for the canister be-
fore marinang or canister operaons.
11. Front Handle
Press down to lock the cover. Pull to
li the cover.
12. Air Intake
Air intake connects with the vacuum
chamber and pump. The air intake in-
let must not be covered when placing
the vacuum bag for vacuum and seal
operaons.
13. Vacuum chamber
When the open end of the bag is placed
in the chamber, the air is drawn out of
the bag and also catches any liquid
overowing from the bag.

14. Sealing Strip
Place the vacuum bag over the strip to
be vacuum sealed. The strip needs to be
cleaned and dried, and replaced if
broken. For a replacement contact our
customer services (Contact details pg.
19)
15. Lower Gasket
This keeps air away by forming a vacuum
chamber with the upper gasket in the
vacuum chamber. The gasket needs to
be cleaned and dried, and replaced if
broken. For a replacement please
contact our customer services (Contact
details pg. 19).
16. Sealing element
Teon-coated heang element which is
hot and seals the bag.
17. Upper Gasket
This keeps air away by forming a vacuum
chamber with the lower gasket in the
vacuum chamber. The gasket needs to
be cleaned and dried, and replaced if
broken. For a replacement contact our
customer services (Contact details pg.
19).
18. Bag Cuer
Press and slide in either direcon to cut
bags to desired size.
19. Cuer rack
Supports the cuer to slide along.

Making a bag with a bag roll
1. Plug the appliance into a power source. Turn the
switch located at the back of the appliance to “I”.
2. Open the top cover.
3. Make sure the bag cuer is at one end of the cuer
rack. Li and push back the cuer rack. (Fig. 1)
4. Pull the bag roll to the length required. (Fig.2)
5. Put the cuer rack down on top of the bag roll.
Slide the cuer from one side to the other, to cut the
bag. (Fig.3)
6. Place one open end on the sealing strip, ensuring it
doesn’t enter the vacuum chamber. (Fig.4)
7. Close the upper lid, pressing unl it clicks into place.
(Fig.5)
8. Press “Manual Seal” to start sealing the bag. (Fig.6)

Vacuum packaging with a bag
1. Place food items inside a clean vacuum bag.
2. Clean and straighten the open end of the bag ensuring
there is no food debris, wrinkles or ripples.
3. Place the open end of the bag in the vacuum
chamber area. Make sure the air intake is not
covered by the bag. (Fig.1)
4. Push the cover down and press the front handle to
lock the cover. (Fig.2)
5. Select the seng according to the moisture
content of your food (Dry, Moist, Extended).
6. Select the desired vacuum pressure according to
the type of food you are vacuum sealing.
7. Press the “Vacuum & Seal” buon and the appliance will vacuum and seal
the bag automacally. (Fig.3)
Note: The vacuum sealer provides high vacuum pressure during the vacuum
process. The food you wish to seal may require a more gentle opon to avoid
crushing or damage. If the food has a high moisture content it may not progress as
well. Observe the LED progress on the control panel and switch to the “Manual
Seal” opon if required.
8. Once the vacuum packing is complete, li the handle
to open the cover and take out the packed bag .
(Fig.4)
Note:
 For best sealing eect, allow the appliance to cool down for one minute
before using again. Clean the vacuum chamber, wiping away any food
residue, aer each bag is sealed.
 The appliance will overheat if used connuously. The unit will go into cool
down mode for 30 seconds, the rst progress LED will ash, and the vacuum
seal operaon will be rejected during cool down mode.

sure it is at “Normal” seng.
6. Press the canister buon to start vacuuming.
(Fig.2)
To ensure there is no air leaking between the cover and the canister, push
down on the cover with your hand at the beginning of the vacuuming
work. The appliance will stop automacally when enough pressure is
achieved.
7. Take out the hose tube from the canister as soon as the vacuum sealing is
complete.

2. Check the LED status of “Vacuum” to conrm the desired vacuum pressure
(Normal/Gentle) according to the food in the canister. The default mode is
“Normal”.
3. Press Marinate. The vacuum will work for 5
cycles, vacuuming then releasing the air. The
whole marinate process will take approximately
6 minutes.

Cord Storage
Once the power cord is unplugged, it should be stored in the cord storage at the
rear of the appliance. Do not wrap the power cord around the appliance.
Vacuum Sealer Storage
 Store on a at, stable surface.
 Keep out of reach of children.
 Do not keep the lid of the sealer locked when not in use or storing. Locking
the cover will damage the foam gaskets causing problems when sealing.

Nothing happens
when I try to
vacuum package.
Check the power cord to ensure it is rmly plugged into the
power supply.
Check switch is set to “0”.
Check to see if the handle has been fully pushed down.
Examine power cord for any damages.
Make sure the bag is placed correctly inside the vacuum
chamber and beneath the air intake.
To seal properly the open end of the bag should be placed
enrely inside the vacuum chamber area.
Air is not removed
from the bag
completely.
Check the sealing strip and the foam gasket ensuring there is
no debris and is in the correct posion. Ensure the gasket is
not broken or distorted. Wipe clean and smooth back into
place.
Check there is no leak in the vacuum bag.
Use the vacuum bags recommended by the supplier.
Leaks along the seal caused by wrinkling, food and liquids can
cause inadequate vacuum. Reopen the bag, wipe the top
inside the bag and reseal.
The appliance does
not turn to seal
aer vacuuming.
There is a vacuum pressure sensor built into the appliance. If
the vacuum pressure inside the bag is not at the
predetermined standard the appliance will not seal the bag.
Check the sealing strip and the foam gasket for any debris
and to ensure the posioning is correct.
Ensure the foam gaskets are not broken or distorted. Take
them out of the grooves, wash and dry; or replace with a new
gasket (supplied by www.andrewjamesworldwide.com)

food has not been refrigerated or the temperature in the
refrigerator has uctuated, this can cause the food to spoil.
Check the bag for punctures which may have released the
vacuum. If vacuuming foods with sharp points such as bones,
cushion the edges with paper towels.
