How to use the Manual Seal button
The Manual Seal button prevents delicate,
fragile foods from being crushed by the
vacuum process, such as biscuits and
berries.
1. Place the food in the bag without creasing
it excessively or stretching the surfaces.
NOTE: Eliminate any liquids or food residues
from the area inside the bag that will be
sealed. This will ensure a perfect seal every
time.
2. Place the bag and its contents in front of
the appliance and place the open end of the
bag over the vacuum chamber. See Figure 1.
3. Close the lid.
4. Press and hold down firmly the ‘ON’
button to commence the vacuum packing
cycle. By keeping watch of the bag whilst air
is being extracted, you will be able to decide
when the vacuum cycle should be overridden
so as to prevent delicate foods being
crushed. Continue pressing the ‘ON’ button
and now press the ‘Manual Seal’ button at
the same time. See Figure 3.
Pressing the Manual Seal button causes
the sealing light to turn on and the sealing
process starts immediately. Wait until the
seal light turns off.
5. Lift the lid and remove the bag.
NOTE: Check the quality of the seal obtained.
It should appear as a regular, wrinkle-free,
horizontal strip with the internal ridges of the
bag flattened.
