TROUBLE SHOOTING
Nothing happens when I try to vacuum package
1. Check power cord to see if it is firmly and correctly plugged into electrical outlet.
2. Examine power cord for any damages.
3. See if electrical outlet is operative by plugging in another appliance.
4. Make sure it is set to the correct mode. Refer to the above operating instructions.
5. Make sure the bag is placed correctly inside the vacuum chamber and beneath the
air intake.
Air is not removed from the bag completely:
1. To seal properly, open end of bag should be resting entirely inside vacuum chamber area.
2. Check sealing strip and the foam gasket beneath the lid. Make sure no breaking or dis-
tortion of the foam seal gaskets on both the cover and on the base around the vacuum
chamber.Wipe clean and smooth them back into place.
3. Vacuum bag may have a leakage. To test, seal the bag with some air in it, submerge in
water, and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate leakage. Reseal or use another new bag.
4. Use only the specific vacuum bag with vacuum channels provided by the manufacturer.
5. Leakage along the seal which can be caused by wrinkles, debris crumbs, grease or
liquids. Reopen the bag, wipe the inner top of the bag and smooth it out along the seal-
ing strip before resealing.
The machine does not turn to seal after vacuuming:
1. There is a vacuum pressure sensor built in this machine. The machine will not turn to
seal automatically if the vacuum pressure inside the bag is not able to reach to the prede-
termined vacuum pressure. Check sealing strip and the foam gasket beneath the lid for
debris and correct position.Wipe clean and smooth them back into place, and try again.
2. Make sure no breaking or distortion of the foam seal gaskets on
both the cover and on the base around the vacuum chamber. Take
it out from the groove (see image), wash and dry it thoroughly; or
replace with a new foam gasket (contact our after sales service
center).
3. Vacuum bag may have leakage. To test, seal the bag with some
air in it, submerge in water, and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate leakage. reseal or use
another new bag.
4. Leakage along the seal which can be caused by wrinkles, debris crumbs, grease or liq-
uids from the bag. Reopen the bag, wipe the inner top of the bag and smooth it out along
the sealing strip before resealing.
