How does the vacuum sealer work?
These non-chamber style vacuum sealers have both a seal bar and a vacuum channel. The vacuum channel pulls the air out of the bag. Once all air has been removed, the seal bar, which heats up, will slightly melt and seal the edge of the bag closed. Be careful not to touch the seal bar as it will result in a burn. The lid of the vacuum sealer should be left open between sealing each bag to allow the unit to cool properly and prevent overheating. If the seal bar is so hot that it melts through the edge of the bag, the seal bar is overheating and must be allowed to cool. It is essential that you read and fully understand the operating manual provided with your vacuum sealer prior to use as there are details specific to each model.
