Instructions For Use
Making & Sealing a Bag from the Vacuum Sealer Bag Roll
1. Press the Push-Open Latch to open the Sealing Arm.
2. Pull a length of bag from the roll large enough to t
the contents being sealed. Include at least 3 inches of
empty space in the bag to allow enough space for the
material to be sealed and the bag to seal tightly.
3. Place the length of bag material on the Sealing
Platform. Align the edges of the bag material with the
Alignment Guide.
4. Close the Sealing Arm (see Fig. B and the “Closing the
Sealing Army Securely” section).
5. Starting at one end of the Sealing Arm, slide the
Bag Cutter all the way to the other side of the
Sealing Arm to cut the bag material to your desired
length (see Fig.C). Always return the Bag Cutter to
one end of the appliance before cutting.
6. Press the Power Button to turn the appliance on
(you can press the Power Button again to turn the
appliance off).
7. Press the Seal Only Button to seal the bottom of the
bag. The light next to the selected button will illuminate.
When the bag is sealed, the light will turnoff.
8. Open the Sealing Arm to remove the bag. It is now
ready for lling and sealing.
Closing the Sealing Arm Securely
Use the Sealing Arm Securing Bar to help create a secure
seal when sealing and vacuum sealing bags.
1. With the Sealing Arm Securing Bar in the open position,
close the Sealing Arm. Push straight down on the Sealing
Arm near the Push-Open Latch until the Push-Open
Latch clicks (see Fig. D).
2. Close the Sealing Arm Securing Bar (see Fig. E).

Instructions For Use
Vacuum Sealing Bags from the Vacuum Sealer Bag Roll
1. Press the Power Button to turn the appliance on
(you can press the Power Button again to turn the
appliance off).
2. Press the Push-Open Latch to open the Sealing Arm.
3. Pre-seal one edge of a bag. Fill the bag with the desired
contents. Avoid overlling the bag; leave at least 3 inches
of at bag material between the bag contents and the top
of the bag. Additional space might be required to vacuum
and seal properly if the item being sealed is thick.
4. Place the bag on the Sealing Platform. Center the bag
between the Alignment Guide and slide the topedge
of the bag underneath the Alignment Guide with the
textured side of the bag facing down (see Fig. F).
5. Close and secure the Sealing Arm (see the “Closing
the Sealing Arm Securely” section).
6. Press the Seal Only Button to seal a bag without
vacuum sealing, or press the Vacuum & Seal Button
to vacuum seal the bag. The light next to the selected
button will illuminate when pressed and then turn off
when the sealing cycle is complete. The appliance will
vacuum most of the air out of the bag and automatically
seal your bag.
7. Allow 10 seconds between Vacuum Sealing.
CAUTION: Continuously sealing within a short period
of time will cause the appliance to enter sleepmode
until the appliance cools (1–2minutes).
NOTE: The appliance should only be opened when
lying on a at surface. Vacuum sealing bags containing
liquid might cause the vacuum channel to contain
residual liquid.
Vacuum Sealing Delicate Foods
When sealing delicate foods, such as pastries and breads,
do not fully vacuum seal the bag. Otherwise, the food
might be damaged by the process. Instead, remove only
some of the air from the bag before sealing:
1. Push the Vacuum & Seal Button to start the vacuum-
sealing process.
2. When some of the air has been removed from the
bag, press the Vacuum & Seal Button again to stop the
vacuum-sealing process.
3. Press the Seal Only Button to nish sealing the bag.

Instructions For Use
Vacuum Sealing Liquids
1. Follow the instructions in the “Vacuum Sealing Bags from
the Vacuum Sealer Bag Roll” section. You will need to leave
more free space in the bag when sealing liquids compared
to sealing solids (at least 7 inches of free space; see
Figs. H–I).
2. As you vacuum seal the bag, hold the appliance
abovethe bag so that the liquid falls toward the bottom
of the bag.
3. As the bag is vacuum sealed, liquid will rise toward
the appliance. If the liquid gets close to the appliance,
press the Vacuum & Seal Button to cancel the sealing
process. Press the Seal Only Button to nish sealing
thebag.
Liquid-Safe Sealing (No Vacuum)
1. Follow the instructions in the “Making & Sealing a Bag
from the Vacuum Sealer Bag Roll” section. Leave at
least 4inches of empty space in the bag.
2. Use the Seal Only Button (NOT the Vacuum & Seal
Button) to seal the top of the bag. As you seal the bag,
hold the appliance above the bag so that the liquid falls
toward the bottom of the bag.
Tips
• Vacuum sealing liquids works best with thicker liquids,
like split pea soup, tomato sauce, and gravy (see
Fig. I). Thinner liquids, like chicken soup, water, and
juice, are more difficult to vacuum seal because they
will rise toward the appliance more quickly during the
vacuum sealingprocess (see Fig. G).
• When vacuum sealing solid foods together with liquid,
such as marinade, about 2 oz of liquid is ideal.
Fig. G. Avoid vacuum sealing liquids that are too thin.
Fig. H. Make sure to leave enough space at the top of
the bag.

Instructions For Use
Creating Individual Packs from
the Vacuum Sealer Bag Roll
Make personal-size bags by sectioning off one resealable
bag into separate compartments for snacks, marinades,
personal items, and more. This example illustrates how to
create six personal-size bags.
1. Refer to “Making & Sealing a Bag from the Vacuum
Sealer Bag Roll” section for information on how to
sealthe bottom of the bag.
2. Position a bottom-sealed bag horizontally on the
Sealing Platform, dividing it in half (see Fig. J).
3. Close and secure the Sealing Arm (see the “Closing
the Sealing Arm Securely” section).
4. Press the Seal Only Button to seal the bag down the
middle and create two long vertical compartments.
5. Remove the bag and ll the compartments one third
of the way full with contents. Return the bag to the
Sealing Platform, leaving at least 3 inches of free
space above the bag’s contents. Use the Seal Only
Button to seal the rst two compartments (see Fig. K)
6. Remove the bag and ll the next row of compartments
one third full. Return the bag to the Sealing Platform,
leaving at least 3 inches of free space above the bag’s
contents. Use the Seal Only Button to seal the third
and fourth compartments (seeFig. L).
7. Remove the bag and ll the nal row of compartments
one third full. Return the bag to the Sealing Platform,
leaving at least 3 inches of free space above the bag’s
contents. Use the Seal Only Button to seal the fth and
sixth compartments (seeFig. M).
8. Use scissors to cut the multipacks into separate packs
by cutting down the middle of the seams (see Fig. N).
CAUTION: Continuously sealing within a short period
of time will cause the appliance to enter sleepmode until
the appliance cools (1–2 minutes).
