Air is not vacuumed from the bag:
•
Check that there are no gaps, folds, wrinkles, or holes in the pre-sealed bags.
•
Check for loose, worn, or cracked upper and lower sealing gaskets.
•
Foods with high liquid contents may prevent the bag from sealing properly.
Cut the bag open and wipe the top inside of bag and reseal.
•
Check to see if the bag is properly inserted into the vacuum chamber.
•
Make sure you’ve placed the bag correctly. When making a bag from a roll,
make sure the end of the cut piece is on the sealing strip.
Bag melts:
•
The sealing strip may have been too hot during the sealing process. Allow the unit to
cool for 20 seconds between uses. If the bag continues to melt, allow the unit to cool
with the lid in the upright position for 25 minutes before using.
Air has seeped back into the vacuumed bag:
•
Check the seal of the bag. There may be a hole or wrinkle that is allowing air to
re-enter the bag. Carefully cut the bag open and re-seal it, or use a new bag.
•
Make sure there is no moisture or liquid from the food present within the bag seal.
You may need to cut open the bag and re-seal it, or use a new bag.
Partially freeze foods with excess liquids prior to vacuum sealing.
•
Make sure there are no food items with sharp edges that may have punctured the
bag. If you find a puncture hole, seal the item in a new bag.
•
Make sure no liquids were drawn to the sealing strip area.
•
Check for loose, worn or cracked upper and lower sealing gaskets.
•
Moisture of foods with high liquid content will prevent the bag from sealing
properly. Cut the bag open and wipe the top inside of bag and reseal.
