Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when I try to vacuum package:
1. Check power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into
electrical outlet.
2. Examine power cord for damage.
3. Check electrical outlet by plugging in another
appliance.
4. If your appliance has latches, make sure the lid is
closed and the latch is in the locked position.
5. If your appliance has a mode switch, make sure it is
set to the correct mode.
6. Make sure bag is placed correctly down inside the
Vacuum Channel.
7. Wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off, and
then try using it again.
Note: The appliance will shut off automatically if it
becomes too hot.
To keep your appliance from overheating:
Wait at least 20 seconds for the appliance to cool down
before you begin vacuum packaging another item. Keep
the lid open before vacuum packaging.
Air is still in the bag:
1. Make sure the open end of bag is resting entirely
inside the Vacuum Channel. If the edge of bag is
beyond the Vacuum Channel, the bag will not seal
properly.
2. Examine the bag for leaks. To see if your bag has a
leak, seal the bag with air, submerge it into water and
apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. Use a new
bag if bubbles appear.
3. If you are using a custom-sized FoodSaver
the bag's seal. A wrinkle in the bag along the seal may
cause leakage and allow air to re-enter. Just cut the
bag and reseal.
4. Do not attempt to make your own side seams for a
FoodSaver
special side seams, which are sealed all the way to the
outer edge. Making your own side seams may cause
leakage and allow air to re-enter.
5. Make sure the Accessory Hose is not inserted into the
Accessory Port.
6. Check the gasket around the Drip Tray and the upper
gasket under the lid to make sure it is free from food
materials and is properly inserted into the gasket
channel.
