Troubleshooting
Vacuum Sealer shut off and won’t turn on again.
• Make sure Lid is latched. Check power at outlet, then call Customer Service.
The Heat-Seal Strip melts through the bag.
• Only heat-seal bags should be used. DO NOT USE PLASTIC HOUSEHOLD BAGS with Vacuum Sealer.
• Open Lid and allow the Heat-Seal Strip to cool for 5–10 minutes. Always leave Lid open between bags, and allow at least 20 seconds between cycles.
The bag seal pulls apart.
• Only heat-seal bags should be used. DO NOT USE PLASTIC HOUSEHOLD BAGS with Vacuum Sealer.
• The seal of the bag may be incomplete. If seal has a crease in it, or if a liquid or powder has been trapped between layers of bag, layers may not have been welded
together properly. Cut off the seal and wipe inside of bag clean. Then, try to vacuum-seal bag again.
The vacuum pump starts, but no air is being removed from the heat-seal bag.
• Quart-size bag was not aligned to the left while using WET VAC & SEAL. Always align left edge of bag to the indicator line and ensure the open end of bag is
centered within Vacuum Chamber.
• Be sure to lock the Lid by pushing the Lid Lock Lever.
• Be sure the bag is inserted properly. The open end of the bag should be centered within the Vacuum Chamber. Be sure the Vacuum Port is not blocked.
• The bag may have a leak. If there is a leak in the bag, air will be pulled into the bag from the outside. Check for tears or punctures. If you are using a bag that was
made from a roll of material, double-check that the end of the bag is sealed.
• For best results, use Hamilton Beach Easy Fill Vacuum Seal bags.
• Bag cut at an angle does not seal. Ensure bag is cut perpendicular to sides of unit.
• Unit stored with Lid locked, gaskets deformed or overcompressed. Do not store with Lid locked. Replace Upper and Lower Chamber Seals.
• Rest period between consecutive wet seals may be too short. Allow unit to cool 20 seconds between cycles when using Dry Vac & Seal and 30 seconds when using
Wet Vac & Seal.
Lid Lock will not engage.
• Be sure to push down firmly on Lid Lock Lever to lock Lid. Blue lights on control panel will flash when Lid is properly latched.
