2. Soft Seal for Delicate Foods
The Soft Seal feature allows you to vacuum delicate items like bread, pastries, or berries without crushing them. For best results with delicate or spongy foods, it is recommended to freeze them first before vacuum sealing.
- Follow steps 1-3 from "General Vacuum Sealing" above.
- Press the "Vacuum & Seal" button.
- As the air is being removed, observe the food item. When the desired amount of air has been removed and before the food begins to compress, press the "Seal" button. This will stop the vacuum process and immediately initiate the sealing process.

- Seal One End: Place one end of the newly cut bag into the sealing channel and close the lid. Press the "Seal" button to create a bottom seal for your custom bag.
4. Using the Accessory Port
