• Wipe down the vacuum chamber, lid, sealing bar, silicone holder, and exterior with a clean, damp cloth.

• Avoid using abrasive materials to prevent damage to the surface.

• Ensure that all soap and detergent residues are thoroughly removed to prevent corrosion.

• Vacuum Quality Check:

• Check the tightness of the vacuum pouch after sealing. If it's not tight enough, increase the vacuum time by 5 seconds and test again.
