Just be sure to leave at least 3 inches between paper towel and end of bag so that bag seals properly with paper towel inside. Make sure you give appliance time to cool down. Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very heavy usage, appliance will shut off automatically to prevent overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off.
