Seal the remaining open sides, except for one, in the same manner. Fill the bag. You must leave at least 6 cm of the bag free, measured up to the edge that is to be sealed. Warning: Fill the bags in such a way that, under no circumstances, food remnants or fluids can run out of the bag when sealing it and permeate into the appliance. Note: The bag opening must sit smoothly on the extraction supports w, the sealing wire r and the cutting wire e. Otherwise, the vacuuming, sealing and cutting will not function properly.
