cover and take out the vacuum bag.
Clean the drip tray and remove excess liquid or residue from the vacuum chamber if
any. Cover the appliance and keep it unlocked.

the vacuum chamber. It is suggested that there should be at least 7cm gap between
food and the open end.
2. Ensure that the open end of the bag is dry, otherwise it will be difficult to seal. If the
food has moisture, you can choose “Moist” mode, which will delay sealing time and
the effect will be better.
3. Before packaging, please clean and straighten the open end of the bag to ensure
that no foreign matter is caught in the seal. Do not allow the bag to wrinkle when
vacuum. Do not let hard objects outside wipe the bag.
4. Before the vacuum is drawn, press the bag to discharge part of the air, which will
reduce the evacuation load of the appliance.
5. For items packed in vacuum storage bags, if there are sharp bones resembling fish
bones, insert a thorn-proof package in a vacuum bag to vacuum & seal.

packaging bag is accidentally pumped into the vacuum chamber, this may cause
problems of plugging the vacuum pump or damaging the appliance. To avoid this,
fold some paper towels or put one filter in the vacuum chamber.

packed in a vacuum container and placed in a refrigerator for optimal preservation.
9. Cool liquids before vacuuming.
10. Perishable foods are generally frozen or refrigerated, and their shelf life can be
extended after vacuum packaging, but they cannot be guaranteed to be permanent.

refrigeration. It can preserve the flavor and texture of food for longer period when
frozen or refrigerated.

➢ Check if the sealing edge is reached on the other side of the sealing cavity, the
sealing line is straight and wrinkle-free.
➢ Make sure that the open end of bag is put into the vacuum chamber and
