- Use only approved vacuum sealer bags or rolls.

- If using a roll, seal one end of the bag using the "Seal" function to create a bottom seam.
- Place the food item into the bag. Ensure the open end of the bag is clean, dry, and free from food particles or moisture, as this can prevent a proper seal.

5.3. Sealing Only
Use the "Seal" function to create a seal without vacuuming. This is useful for:
- Creating bags from a roll.

- Resealing original snack bags or other packaging.
To use: Place the open end of the bag over the sealing bar (not in the vacuum channel). Close the lid firmly. Press the סיל button. The appliance will heat and seal the bag.
5.4. Canister Vacuuming
The Wilfa VS-0812S can also vacuum seal external canisters (sold separately).
