how do you close it for storage in the bag? the directions did not work

It's kind of a pain, and you have to have patience. You grab each end rotating them inward until they form a circle and put it in the bag. I struggle with this everytime.

Sue, you get a hand on each end and twist in opposite directions until it closes to three overlaps and refits back into the bag.

Grab opposite ends to make the figure 8 then it will fold in on itself and fit back in its package.

Agree with other comment (except its QTY 6 to a bag). When your done using it just leave the tip on, it seals itself & when your ready to use it again, just throw THAT tip away & put on another.

with a bag sealer....same way you close the food storage bag after placing the correct amount of absorbers in.

I empty the 30 lb bag into the container. There is about 8 inches left at the top. I don't think leaving it in the bag would work, since there is no room left in most bags to re-shape it, but I'm not certain.

Unroll bag and just cut one corner with scissors to form a mouth. Pour about 1 pound at a time into an airtight container, leaving the rest in the bag. Fold mouth part in, and duct tape shut. That's how I've done it for the past 2 years. Simple and efficient. Also, from everything I know about coffee beans, refrigerator storage is not recommended as it dries out the bean.

we watched a video,lol. My husband folds it in half (longways) and starts by grabbing the bottom and cramming it into the storage bag...just keep cramming! don't try to be neat, stuff it and stuff it. It all fits in ! We have done it several times, don't be gently :) good luck !

I take it you are taking the cover off to open it. Lay on ground and wasbtop side off. When dry fold in half 2-3 times, and geg as much air as you can out. Then start folding length wise getting air out. Should fit in a trash bag when done.

All I did was cut the top of the bag open, emptied the media and refilled it. I then placed the bag back inside the cartridge and it holds just fine. If you feel like putting an extra ten minutes you can relace it with thread so you can close it tight. That's my advice.

I managed to stuff it back in the bag in about 5 minutes. Just start at one end and keep punching it down into the bag, removing the air as you go. There is no way to roll it or fold it and then put it in the bag.

I use the large pouch on the inside of the bag. There is a velcro strap to hold it closed.

You can do one of 2 things. Hit Manual Seal (with the bag in the vacuum area) and it will suck for a second or so then seal. Or you can hit the start button and then hit the manual seal to stop the vacuum process. Hope this works, I surely like mine.

I think you should fold it down flat, press down on the edges while turning counter clockwise and it should come apart. It may take a few tries to get it back together, but be patient. Good luck!

I believe Dawn has the right answer, but if you cannot open the top to remove the inner protective seal, flip the unit upside down and drill a series of small holes. Cover the holes you created with duct tape or place the container in a large zip lock bag when not in use. You should be able to find the instructions and precautions on the Internet.

Having the hardest time getting it back in the tube.... How do you fold it to get it back?

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

I personally do not find it difficult to replace. If you cannot close it then you have the bag refill upside down. Turn it around and work it that way. The bag will be overflowing from the top not the bottom going down.

Simply cut bag to desired length, place one end partially in(over the heating strip but not in the vacuum chamber) press and hold until hands free illuminates, then release when light goes out. That seals one end and the other is done once item is in bag, insert that end all the way into vacuum chamber, press and hold, wait for hands free, then once light extinguishes release. Hope that helps
