Let unit cool completely before cleaning.
•
Wipe vacuum chamber, lid, sealing bar, silicone holder, and exterior with a clean, moist cloth.

Tips
Vacuum Confirmation
•
To check quality of vacuum, check tightness of the pouch and its contents. Check for air leaks and
pockets. If you find that contents are not tightly vacuumed, increase the vacuum time by
5 seconds and run the vacuum again.
Seal Confirmation
•
A complete seal will appear clear while an incomplete seal will appear bubbly. If the seal is incomplete,
increase seal time by 0.1 second. If the seal appears white, decrease seal time by 0.1 second. After
determining the appropriate time adjustments, vacuum and seal again.
