Removing Air From A Bag; Using Foodsaver ® Vacuum Sealing Accessories - FoodSaver V4400 series User Manual

Removing Air from a Bag

Avoid wrinkles when inserting the bag into the
Vacuum Channel (E).
Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow air
to return into bag. To eliminate any wrinkles while
inserting bag, gently slide bag curl down into the
Vacuum Channel (E), and hold bag with two hands
gently stretching bag flat until vacuum pump
begins. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag,
simply cut bag open and vacuum seal again.
