ABOUT VACUUM SEALING Your Russell Hobbs Seal Fresh Vacuum Sealer creates a storage solution for a wide range of foods, as well as non-food items.
Food Button: Use this button to select the optimum bag sealing time for the type of item you are packaging. The default setting is Dry. Dry setting: for items without moisture, with a shorter heat sealing time. Moist setting: for items with moisture, with an extended heat sealing time. Pump Button (Vacuum Pressure): This button allows you to select the vacuuming pressure. The default setting is Normal vacuum pressure.
Upper gasket: Keeps air out by forming vacuum chamber with lower gasket. Clean and dry or replace it when distorted or broken. Sealing element: Teflon-coated heating element heats up to seal bags. WARNING: The sealing element becomes very hot while in use and will remain hot for some time after use. DO NOT touch the sealing element as it may burn. Locking tabs: Locks the lid to the base to help keep air out of the vacuum chamber.
NOTE: This appliance provides very high vacuum pressure during vacuum sealing. In order to avoid crushing delicate items with the high vacuum pressure, observe the status of the vacuum pressure inside the bag and press the “SEAL” button immediately when the desired vacuum pressure is achieved. The vacuum pump will stop and the sealing process will commence. 7. Your vacuum sealing is now complete. Press the release buttons to open the lid and remove the bag from the appliance.
