Solution
• Make sure unit is plugged in.
• Make sure wall outlet is functional.
• Open Latch, make sure lid is all the way down, re-latch lid.
• Make sure there is enough bag material to reach center of drip tray. Always
allow three inches (7.62 mm) extra space to allow the bag to seal tightly
around food contents.
• Gently stretch bag flat while inserting. Insert bag CURL DOWN into Vacuum
Channel.
• Examine the seal. A wrinkle along the seal may cause air to re-enter the
bag. To prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch bag flat while inserting
bag into Vacuum Channel.
• Sometimes moisture or food material (such as juices, grease, crumbs,
powders, etc.) along seal prevents bag from sealing properly. Cut bag open,
wipe top inside of bag and re-seal.
• Sharp food items may have punctured bag. Use a new bag if there is a
hole. Cover sharp food items with a soft cushioning material, such as a
paper towel, and re-seal.
• Fermentation or the release of natural gases from inside the foods may
have occurred. When this happens, food may have begun to spoil and
should be discarded.
• Sealing Strip may have become too hot. Always wait at least 20 seconds
for appliance to cool down before you vacuum seal another item.
