USING THE SOFT SEAL™ VACUUM CONTROL
To seal delicate foods such as breads, muffins or strawberries, set the Soft Seal™ Vacuum Control
on Delicate.
The chart below is a guideline for the types of foods to be sealed on the Delicate setting. Results will
vary depending on preparation, type and quantity of food being sealed and bag size used. For best
results place food being sealed in a single layer inside the bag.
To stop the vacuum process at any time, press the Vacuum Button. You also have the option to
bypass the auto seal function to instantly seal the bag and avoid crushing very delicate foods or
drawing liquid from the bag. If Soft Seal™ Vacuum Control is set on Delicate simply press the Seal
button. This will stop air from being drawn from the bag and seal the bag. If the Soft Seal™ Vacuum
Control is set on Regular press the Vacuum Button immediately followed by the Seal Button. This
will also stop air from being drawn from the bag and seal the bag.
Warning: Even though the Sealing Strip is not powered when Lid is open, it may still be hot.
Note: The unit has a 30 second cool down period between vacuuming cycles. Unit will not operate
during this time.
CAUTION: This Vacuum Food Sealer is not for commercial use. If sealing more than 30 bags
or canisters in a row, wait at least 25 minutes before continuing to use your Vacuum Food Sealer.

If you are sealing very delicate foods or see that the food is beginning to crush when using the
Delicate setting, simply press the Seal Button. This will stop air from being drawn from the bag and
instantly seal the bag.
For best results, freeze delicate foods prior to vacuum sealing if using the Regular setting. This will
help delicate foods to maintain their shape.
