When sealing moist foods, such as sauces or stews, you have the option to instantly seal the bag
and bypass the auto-seal function if you see any liquid being drawn from the bag or whenever
you believe the process is complete. If the Soft Seal™ Vacuum Control is set on Delicate simply
press the Seal button. If the Soft Seal™ Vacuum Control is set on Regular press the Vacuum
Button immediately followed by the Seal Button and the vacuum pump will stop as the bag is
sealed.
Hint: For best results liquids should be frozen prior to vacuum sealing. Remove excess juices
before sealing whenever possible
