Descripció de la imatge: This image illustrates the ease of use of the Bonsenkitchen VS5100 vacuum sealer. It shows a user initiating the vacuum and seal process with a single button press and demonstrating the convenient one-hand operation of the device.

1. Place the food item into a vacuum sealer bag, leaving at least 7-10 cm (3-4 inches) of space from the top edge.
2. Ensure the open end of the bag is clean, dry, and free of food particles or wrinkles.
3. Open the lid of the vacuum sealer. Place the open end of the bag into the vacuum chamber (6), ensuring it lies flat over the sealing strip. Use the bag clip (3) to hold it in place.
4. Close the lid and press down firmly on the Easy-Lock handle until it clicks into place.
5. Select the appropriate mode based on your food type (see 5.2 Operating Modes).
6. The machine will automatically vacuum and seal (for 'Vac & Seal') or perform the selected function.
7. Once the process is complete, the indicator light will turn off. Press the release buttons on the sides to open the lid and remove the sealed bag.

5.2 Modes de funcionament

Descripció de la imatge: This graphic details the five primary functions of the vacuum sealer, showing examples of food suitable for each mode. 'Extended Seal' is for items like salmon, 'Seal' for snacks like chips, 'Vac & Seal' for meats and nuts, 'Pulse Vac' for delicate items like bread and grapes, and 'Accessory' for vacuuming bottles or containers.

• Vac & Seal (Automatic Vacuum & Seal): Press this button for automatic vacuuming and sealing of dry foods.
• Pulse Vac (Manual Vacuum Control): Press and hold this button to manually control the vacuum process. Release the button when the desired vacuum level is reached, then press 'Seal' to complete the process. This is ideal for delicate foods (e.g., bread, pastries) or moist foods where over-vacuuming could crush or extract liquids.
• Seal (Manual Seal): Use this button to create a seal without vacuuming. This is useful for making custom-sized bags from a roll or for sealing bags that do not require vacuuming.
• Extended Seal: If you are sealing bags with a lot of moisture or thicker bags, press this button to increase the sealing time, ensuring a stronger, more secure seal.
• Accessori: Connect the external vacuum hose to the accessory port (2) and to a compatible vacuum container or bottle stopper. Press this button to begin vacuuming the container.

6. Manteniment i Neteja

6.1 Cleaning the Vacuum Sealer

1. Desconnecteu sempre l'aparell abans de netejar-lo.
2. Netegeu l'exterior de la màquina amb un damp tela. No utilitzeu netejadors abrasius ni dissolvents.
3. Clean the vacuum chamber (6) and sealing strip with a damp cloth after each use, especially if any liquids or food particles have entered. Ensure these areas are completely dry before storing or next use.
4. No submergiu l'aparell en aigua o cap altre líquid.

6.2 Emmagatzematge

Store the vacuum sealer in a dry, clean place. For optimal performance and to prevent deformation of the sealing strip, it is recommended to store the machine with the lid unlatched or slightly open.

7. Solució De Problemes

• La màquina no s'encén: Assegureu-vos que el cable d'alimentació estigui ben connectat a una presa de corrent que funcioni. Comproveu si s'ha premut el botó d'engegada.
• Machine vacuums but does not seal: Ensure the bag is placed correctly over the sealing strip. Check if the sealing strip is clean and free of debris. The sealing strip may be too hot from continuous use; allow it to cool down for a few minutes.
• Vacuum is weak or incomplete: Check for wrinkles in the bag inside the vacuum chamber. Ensure the lid is properly closed and locked with the Easy-Lock handle. Inspect the bag for any punctures or tears. Ensure the foam gaskets around the vacuum chamber are clean and intact.
• Air leaks into the bag after sealing: The seal might be incomplete. Try using the 'Extended Seal' mode. Ensure the bag material is suitable for vacuum sealing. Check for sharp edges on food items that might have punctured the bag.
• Bag melts during sealing: The sealing strip might be too hot. Allow the machine to cool down between seals. For thinner bags, consider using a shorter sealing time if available, or ensure you are not using 'Extended Seal' unnecessarily.
