Operating Your Vacuum Sealer
To make a bag:
1. Place the unit on a firm, level surface near an
electrical outlet.
2. Insert the roll of bagging material into the roll
compartment in the sealer. We recommend you
use only the plastic material supplied by Deni, for
Freshlock models.
3. Put the “Heat Selector” switch on medium.
4. Plug into an AC electrical outlet.
5. Make sure the selector switch is in the “cut-bag”
position.
6. Pull the bagging material over the sealing wires.
NOTE: The roll is folded into a double layer to form
the bottom seal of each bag.
7. Close the lid and press down firmly on the lid with
both hands, to activate the sealing mechanism.
Both the red (vacuum) and green (seal) indicator
lights will light up. Note: a correct seal will have a
straight, solid line across the seal. An incorrect seal
will be dotted.
8. After the green (seal) light goes off, (in about 10-15
seconds), lift the lid and tear away the excess
plastic at the beginning of the roll.
9. Next, create a custom-size bag by pulling out the
amount of plastic you need from the roll and place
over the sealing wires.
10. Repeat the sealing process in step 7. When the
green (seal) light goes out, pull the bag away from
the sealing wires. Now you have a bag sealed on
three sides ready to be filled and vacuum sealed.
NOTE: The bottom of the bag is where the white
label strip is.
Sealing a filled bag without vacuum action:
1. Make sure no food or liquid remains in the top
portion of the bag where the seal will be made.
This may interfere with the effectiveness of the seal.
2. Place the open end of the bag over the sealing
wires, making sure that the bagging material is flat,
with no creases along the line of the seal.
3. Close the lid and press down firmly on the lid with
both hands, to activate the sealing mechanism. Both
the red (vacuum) and green (seal) indicator lights will
light up.
NOTE: Remove the bag from the wire immediately after
the green “Seal” light goes off. If the bag starts to cool
it may stick to the wire and create a hole in the seal
when pulled off the wire.
