Fill the pouch and place inside the chamber
• Fill the pouch with the product to be vacuum packaged and place
the pouch inside the chamber. Keep pouches that contain liquids
or wet products below the height of the seal bar. Lay the pouch flat
inside the chamber with the opening of the pouch across the seal
bar. Make sure that the pouch lies flat across the seal bar and is
free of wrinkles and/or debris.
Close the machine lid to vacuum and seal
• Close the lid and press Vacuum/Seal button to begin cycle.
CAUTION: Be sure lid is closed properly. An open lid will prevent
the vacuum seal from operating correctly.
Inspect the pouch
• When the lid is released and able to be opened, remove the
pouch and inspect the vacuum-packaged product.
• Check the quality of the vacuum by looking and feeling the
tightness of the pouch and the product. Look for air pockets
or leaks. If you notice that the product is not vacuum sealed
tightly, then increase the vacuum time by 5 seconds and
vacuum seal again.
• Inspect the pouch seal for a positive seal that appears clear upon
inspection. If the seal is spotty or incomplete, increase the seal
time by 1 second. If the seal appears white or milky, decrease the
seal time by 1 second. Once the settings are determined for your
application, vacuum and seal again.
MAKING A POUCH FROM A ROLL
The pouches included with the WCV300 are sized (sealed at one end)
and only require a seal to be made on one end during the vacuum/
seal process. Another alternative to purchasing pre-sized vacuum
pouches is a roll that comes in many different lengths (typically
50 feet) and can be custom cut to the desired size pouch needed for
the specific product. To order, contact the customer service phone
number. Below are the simple steps for sizing/sealing a pouch from
a roll.
1. Plug the WCV300 into a wall outlet. Switch unit ON.
2. Pull pouch from roll until the desired length is reached
(no longer than 13").
3. Cut the pouch as straight as possible with a scissors or pouch
cutter (not included).
