How to use your handheld vacuum sealer
Prepare your bag, container or bottle
Fill your compatible zipper bag, container or wine bottle accessory, making sure the valve area is clean and clear.
Position the vacuum sealer
Place the vacuum sealer over the valve and press down lightly to create contact.
Start vacuum sealing
Press and release the power button on the vacuum sealer to begin removing the air.
Let it stop automatically
The appliance stops when sealing is complete. You can also press the button again to stop it manually.
Open when ready

Vacuum sealing tips
If the indicator light blinks red, the vacuum seal hasn’t been created. Don’t worry – it usually means something needs a quick check. Try these tips to help get a secure seal.
Keep the seal area clean
Make sure the bag opening, zipper track, container lid or valve is clean and dry before sealing.
Close zipper bags fully
Press the zipper closed before vacuum sealing. Use the bag seal clip to help make sure the bag is securely closed.
Check the valve
Make sure the valve is clear of food before sealing, so the vacuum sealer can remove air properly.
Leave space in containers
Do not overfill containers. Always leave room at the top so food does not come into contact with the valve.
Keep liquid away from the valve
Avoid letting liquid reach the valve area, as this can stop the vacuum sealer working properly. If liquid is drawn into the vacuum sealer, stop and clean it before using again, following the instructions in the user manual.

Wipe the vacuum sealer body
Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean the body of the vacuum sealer. Do not put the vacuum sealer body in water or the dishwasher.

Clean containers and wine sealer
Containers and the wine sealer are dishwasher-safe on the top rack only. Container lids are not dishwasher-safe and should be hand washed only.
