G
Vacuum Sealer starts but bag does not tighten
around food:
1. Ensure zipper is firmly closed. Slide fingers across entire zipper.
2. Air valve is not on flat surface. Reposition bag so the Air Valve
lies flat on counter with no food under Air Valve.
Vacuum Nozzle and Air Valve are not making secure
contact:
1. Ensure Vacuum Nozzle is centred over the grey circle and
placed flat on Air Valve. Apply moderate pressure.
Air was removed from the bag, but now air has re-entered:
1. Examine zipper and valve of bag. Food debris in zipper or
valve may cause leakage and allow air to enter.
2. Sometimes moisture or food material along seal edges of the
zipper or beneath the valve prevents bag from sealing properly.
Wipe the inside of bag around zipper and beneath value and
attempt to reseal.
3. If you are vacuum packaging sharp food items, bag may have
been punctured. Use a new bag if there is a hole. Cover sharp
food items with a soft cushioning material, such as a paper
towel, and reseal.
The FoodSaver
1. Ensure the gasket on inside of lid is free from food and debris.
