Tips on Using the Digital Scale

Rotate the platform clockwise to mount it to the platform port.
Do not rotate the platform hard. Otherwise, the weighing sensor may be damaged and lead to inaccurate results.
Plug the appliance into the power outlet via the provided power cord. The LCD screen will automatically be turned on and show “0.0” g.
Press the MODE button to select the weight unit (g, kg, oz, lb). Make sure zero is displayed. If not, you may press the TARE button. The display will reset to zero.
Place the item to be weighed on the platform. The display will show the weight of the item.

To obtain the exact weight of liquid or powder foods in a container, you have to remove the weight of the container. First of all, place the container, without the item, on the platform. Secondly, press the TARE button to remove the weight of the container. The display will reset to zero. Thirdly, add the item to the container. Finally, the weight of the item will be shown on the display.

Calibration

The calibrating process has been performed before shipping. Calibrate the scale only when it gives you an inaccurate reading. A 2 kg calibration weight is needed. Wait at least 30 minutes in room temperature before Calibration.

How to Calibrate Your Scale

Hold the TARE and MODE buttons at the same time until “2000.0 g” appears.
“2000.0 g” is flashing on the display.
Place a 2 kg calibration weight in the centre of the platform. When the display shows “PASS”, it indicates successful calibration.

Capacity

Capacity is 2 kg. Never place items over 2 kg on the platform. To protect the weighing sensor from being damaged and ensure accuracy, place the item in the centre of the platform and do not hit the platform.

Operating Environment

When the digital scale is turned on, to ensure accuracy, wait at least 30 seconds before use. Operating temperature is 10-30°C.

Other Tips

Do not overfill the bag. Always leave at least 3 inches of bag material between bag contents and top of the bag.
Clean the open end of the bag inside and out. Make sure the open end is free of food material and wrinkles.
When vacuum packaging a large item, to prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch bag flat before placing it into the vacuum chamber.
Make sure the bag is dry. It will be difficult to make a tight seal if the bag is wet.
For best results, perishables still need to be frozen or refrigerated after the vacuum sealing process.
When you are vacuum sealing items with sharp edges (such as dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.), protect the bag from punctures by wrapping the item in soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel. You may use a canister instead of a bag.
When using canisters, always leave 2.5 cm of space at the top of the canister.
Pre-freeze fruits and vegetables before vacuum sealing for best results.
Allow the appliance to cool for 1 minute between uses.
If you are not sure whether your bag was sealed properly, simply reseal the bag.
For best results, use bags and canisters produced by the manufacturer.
Do not reheat your food microwave oven while it is still in the bag. It is dangerous.
When weighing a large item, place a tray or container on the platform. Do not forget to press the TARE button to remove the weight of the tray or container before adding the item.
When you have finished using the sealer, press the silver touch bar to open it, then unplug.

Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when the power cord is plugged into an appliance

Make sure the power cord is not damaged.
Make sure the power cord is correctly plugged into the electrical outlet and appliance.

The appliance is plugged in but does not vacuum seal

Ensure the lid is properly closed.
Ensure the removable connecting bolt is correctly placed into both sides of the lid.
Ensure the open end of the bag is correctly placed into the vacuum chamber.
If the indicator lights flash, the appliance may become overheated. Allow it to cool for several minutes before use.
Check if the bag is punctured.
Check the sealing foam gaskets for damage.

Air is removed from inside the bag but re-enters

Check if the bag is punctured.
Check the sealing foam gaskets for damage.

Air is removed from inside the bag, but now the air has re-entered

Check if there is a hole or puncture on the bag. It may be punctured by sharp items. Use a new bag if necessary.
Check the seal. A wrinkle along the seal may cause air to re-enter the bag. If there is a wrinkle along with the seal, simply cut the sealed edge and reseal.
If there is moisture or liquid from foods present within the seal, cut open the bag and wipe away foods on the open end of the bag. Choose MOIST FOOD setting and reseal.
If the food has been stored for a long time and the bag is full of gases, the food may spoil. We recommend discarding food.
