4. Continue to hold the Lid. When the Hands-free Indicator Light illuminates, it is safe to remove
your hands from the Lid. The unit will continue to vacuum and then starts sealing. The Sealing

CAUTION: • This Vacuum Sealer is equipped with a technologically-advanced, safety system that
will auto-reset the Vacuum Sealer in case of a potential overheat situation. After having
sealed a few bags, the system will automatically shut the unit off for about one minute.
• This 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.
• The unit has a cool down period between cycles. Wait 20 seconds before using again.
