Sealing Strip (L), close lid and make sure to use the  
Latch (E) to lock lid. Then press Seal Button (U).  
excess liquids. Just be sure to leave at least 3 inches  
between paper towel and end of bag so that bag seals  
properly with paper towel inside.  
Make sure appliance has time to cool down.  
Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. If appliance is  
engaged prior to 20 seconds from last use, the error  
light will flash. Under very heavy usage, appliance will  
shut off automatically to prevent overheating. If it does,  
wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off.

Tips on Removing Air from a Bag  
Make sure appliance lid is securely latched.  
When vacuuming and sealing a bag, make sure the  
Latch (E) is in the locked position.  
If motor runs for more than 30 seconds without  
stopping, consider the following: If vacuum packaging  
with a bag, make sure open end is placed down inside  
Vacuum Channel (J) and make sure Accessory Hose (A)  
is not attached. If vacuum packaging with an accessory,  
check Accessory Hose in appliance lid and in accessory  
to ensure a tight fit.  
Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing  
Strip. Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow  
air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag  
along Sealing Strip (L) before closing lid and vacuum  
packaging. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply  
cut bag open and vacuum package again.  
Tips on Storage  
To utilize flip-up storage:  
1. Close the lid.  
2. Turn Latch (E) halfway to secure for storage

without compressing the foam gasket and creating  
unnecessary wear and tear).
