3. Place your food items inside the bag, leaving at least 5-8 cm of empty space at the open end for sealing.

4.3 Using the Vacuum Sealer

The device offers five operational modes. Select the appropriate mode for your food type.

• Dry Mode: For dry foods like grains, pasta, or coffee.
• Moist Mode: For moist foods like meat, fish, or vegetables with higher liquid content.
• Pulse Mode: For delicate items like chips, crackers, or bread to prevent crushing.
