HOW DOES IT WORK
SEALING A BAG
1. Plug the vacuum sealer into the power source.
2. Unroll the plastic bag roll and place one end in the front of
the vacuum sealer making sure that the end is fully past the heat
sealer (1).
3. Close the cover and lock into place by pressing down both the
left and right edge of the vacuum sealer lid to lock into place.
4. Press the seal button.
5. When the light switches off the bag will be sealed.
6. Press the two side unlock buttons (6) and lift the lid.
7. Remove the sealed end from the vacuum sealer, roll out the
desired amount of plastic from the roll, cut the bag to the size you
need.
8. Remove the bag from the vacuum sealer and it is now ready to
use.
THINGS TO WATCH FOR WHEN SEALING
1. Once you remove the sealed bag from the sealer please
inspect the length of the sealed line and ensure there are no
leaks. If you see a break in the sealed line, please repeat the
sealing process.
2. Before you initiate the sealing process, you must ensure that
both the left and right side of the sealer are securely locked.
Please ensure the bag is properly positioned in the sealer to
eliminate the chance of the sealer continuing to run without
being able to turn off automatically as it can not sense that the
line has been sealed. Should this happen, please manually stop
the sealer by pressing the STOP button.
PRESERVING FOOD BY VACUUM PACKAGING
1. Place the desired foods or items into the bag.
2. Make sure that the bag end is clean and straight, free from any
moisture or powders.
3. Open vacuum sealer and place the ends of the bag to the air
extraction area. Close the lid and secure by pressing down both
the left and right edge of the vacuum sealer lid to lock into place.

7. Remove the bag from the vacuum sealer.
TIPS FOR VACUUM PACKAGING
FOOD SELECTION (DRY /MOISTURE) FUNCTION
• Press Food button to choose the appropriate setting for the
type of foods you will be sealing.
• If you choose Moisture mode, the vacuum time and sealing
time will be increased by 3 to 5 seconds to make sure the bag
is securely vacuumed and sealed.
Remark: Please note the sealer is meant to be used with solid
foods that may have a higher lever of moisture, however it is not
meant to be used with wet or liquid forms of foods.
If the packaged food is a marination, we suggest to place the
food in a separate plastic bag before placing it in the seal bag.
MODE SELECTION (NORMAL / GENTLE)
• Press Mode button to choose Normal or Gentle working mode.
In Gentle mode, vacuum power and sealing time will be less
than normal mode.
• Using special plastic bags to be used for all kinds of vacuum
packing: all kinds of vegetables, meat, fresh, condiment, fast
food, biscuits, dried fish, dry goods, articles for daily use, etc.
