Fresh Container so they will hold
Solution
• Make sure that the bag is firmly closed.
• The air valve is not on a flat surface. Reposition the bag so that the air valve lies flat on the
appliance platform with no food underneath.
• Make sure that the vacuum nozzle is centred over the grey circle and placed flat on the air valve.
Apply moderate pressure.
• Examine the bag's zip and valve. Food debris in the zip or valve may cause leakage and allow air
to enter.
• Sometimes moisture or food material along the seal edges of the zipper or beneath the valve
prevents the bag from sealing properly. Wipe the inside of the bag around the zip and beneath valve
and attempt to reseal.
• If you are vacuum packaging sharp food items, the 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.
• Make sure that the rubber gasket on the inside of the lid is free from food and secure in place.
• Examine the rim of the container for cracks or scratches. Any gaps can prevent containers from
vacuuming properly. Make sure that the container vacuum valve is clean.
• Make sure that the container lid is closed securely on all 4 corners; remove lid and press again.
• This indicates that the appliance did not fully seal the container or bag. Raise the vacuum head and
make sure that the container or bag is closed correctly.
• Make sure that the liquid reservoir is clean and fitted correctly so there are no air leaks.
• Move the vacuum head down and press it firmly onto the container or bag valve and press the Start
button. The vacuum process should not take longer than 1 minute.
• This indicates that the container or bag valve is not attached to the vacuum head correctly. Move the
vacuum head down and press it firmly onto the container or bag valve and press the Start button.

Coffee and Powdery Foods
Liquids
To prevent food particles from being drawn into the
vacuum pump, place a coffee filter or paper towel at the
top of the bag or canister before vacuum sealing. You
can also place the food in its original bag inside a
FoodSaver Fresh Zipper Bag, or use a FoodSaver
Fresh Container to vacuum seal.
Wait for hot liquids to cool to room temperature before
vacuum sealing in a FoodSaver
sealing hot liquids may result in loss of vacuum.
