Nothing happens when pressing the PRESS/
HOLD areas
• Check to see that the appliance is
plugged in. Test electrical outlet by
plugging in another appliance.
• The appliance will shut off automatically
if overheated. Allow to cool down for
20 minutes and try again.
• Check supply cord and plug for damage.
If damaged, do not use the appliance.
Air is not removed from the bag:
• To seal properly, open end of bag should
be resting entirely inside Vacuum Channel
area.
• Check sealing strip and gasket beneath
the lid for debris. Wipe off and then
smooth back into place.
• Bag may have a leak. To test, seal the
bag with some air in it, submerge in
water, and apply pressure. Bubbles
indicate a leak. Reseal or use another
bag.
• Open bag and dry/wipe at top end
of bag. Ensure no food particles are
in/around top of bag.
Air was removed from the bag, but has come
back into the bag:
• Leaks along the seal can be caused
by wrinkles, crumbs, grease or liquids.
Reopen bag, wipe the top inside of the
bag and smooth it out along the sealing
strip before resealing.
• The release of natural gases or
fermentation from foods, (such as
fresh fruits and vegetables) may have
occurred. Most vegetables require
blanching prior to vacuum packing.
See page 14 for more details. Open
bag, if you think food has begun to
spoil, discard food. Lack of refrigeration
or fluctuating temperatures in the
Refrigerator can cause food to spoil.
• Check the bag for a puncture or hole,
which may have released the vacuum.
Cushion sharp edges in the contents
of the bag with paper towels.
