1. General Vacuum Sealing

Close and Lock the Lid: Firmly press down on both sides of the lid until it clicks into place. You may need to apply a slight amount of pressure to ensure a secure lock, which is crucial for a proper seal.
Begin verseëling: Press the "Vacuum & Seal" button. The indicator light will illuminate, and the machine will begin to remove air from the bag.
Monitor and Complete: The machine will automatically transition from vacuuming to sealing once the air is removed. The indicator light will turn off when the process is complete.

2. Soft Seal for Delicate Foods
The Soft Seal feature allows you to vacuum delicate items like bread, pastries, or berries without crushing them. For best results with delicate or spongy foods, it is recommended to freeze them first before vacuum sealing.
Follow steps 1-3 from "General Vacuum Sealing" above.
Press the "Vacuum & Seal" button.
As the air is being removed, observe the food item. When the desired amount of air has been removed and before the food begins to compress, press the "Seal" button. This will stop the vacuum process and immediately initiate the sealing process.
Once the sealing is complete, the indicator light will turn off. Open the lid and remove the sealed bag.
3. Using the Built-in Bag Roller and Cutter
Load Roll: Place a roll of vacuum sealer bag material into the integrated bag roller compartment.
Pull Material: Pull the desired length of bag material over the sealing strip.
Cut Bag: Close the lid. Position the bag material under the built-in blade mechanism. While holding the bag material firmly, slide the cutter across to create a clean cut. Note that the blade mechanism may feel slightly unstable; ensure the bag is fully under the blade for an even cut.
Seël Een Kant: Place one end of the newly cut bag into the sealing channel and close the lid. Press the "Seal" button to create a bottom seal for your custom bag.
4. Using the Accessory Port
The accessory port allows you to vacuum seal with optional Seal A Meal canisters (sold separately). This is ideal for delicate or liquid-rich foods that cannot be vacuum sealed in bags.
Prepare your canister according to its instructions, ensuring the lid is properly secured.
Attach one end of the accessory hose (not included) to the accessory port on the vacuum sealer and the other end to the port on the canister lid.
Press the "Vacuum & Seal" button. The machine will remove air from the canister.
Once the vacuum process is complete, the machine will stop. Remove the accessory hose.
