How many seals can I do before a cool down period?
</h2>
<div class="bvseo-question-detail">
</div>
<div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: JoshLehman</div>
<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="6944458">
Hello! 1.&nbsp; Always allow 20 seconds between seals. Under heavy usage, appliance will shut off automatically and Red Light will flash. Wait for 20 min. for unit to cool off. 2. Always wait 20 seconds between seals. 3. Avoid having vacuum pump running more than 120 seconds. If the pump runs for 120 seconds the unit times out and shuts off the pump not due to overheat but because it was not reaching vacuum level. If this is happening there could be a vacuum leak and you should test the bag or check the gaskets.

<div class="bvseo-author">Asked by: Rexbintz</div>
<div class="bvseo-answer" data-answerid="6934566">
Hello! First you need to remove the old one. To do that, simply squeeze the cutter with your fingers from both sides (you may widen the hole with your other hand a bit to make the removing easier) and pull the cutter out. In order to put the new one in the machine, you simply insert the new cutter in the place of the old one.

Hello, this is Mateusz from FoodSaver! Thanks for reaching out to us. We will be more than happy to answer your question! The Sous Vide mode on your vacuum sealer can be used if you are planning to sous vide the contents on the bag. This feature makes the seal hotter and more secure to make sure no liquids get inside the bag when you do sous vide. The Moist and Dry setting changes the seal level for the type of food - moist or dry. Liquids can be drawn up by the vacuum process and liquids getting in between the layers of the bag can have a cooling effect on the heat seal. Adjustable Food Settings Seal Level can extend the seal time to compensate for liquid and create a secure, reliable and air-tight seal. Please note that dry mode should be your default mode, only use moist when you know your seals are going to get wet. Thank you and please stay safe! FoodSaver Care
