Problem
Possible Reasons
The Easy Solution
You are using a bag or
container containing a lar-
ge volume of air.
In some cases, the pressure detection system stops ope-
ration because the pressure reduction is too low. This is
normal operation. Try the following methods:
– Before vacuum sealing the bag: try to press out surplus
air.
– For evacuating the container: start the canister function
repeatedly, until the desired low pressure is reached.
– If required, use the “Pulse” function (see: ‘Operation /
Manually Controlling the Vacuum Pump’).
Vacuumizing Bags:
The vacuum system inclu-
ding the bag is obstructed.
Check the following items:
– Did you use a suited foil type? The surface of the foil
must be raw at the inner side of the bag.
– Did the upper rim of the bag reach the interior of the
vacuum chamber?
– Is the drip tray filled with liquid or powder and/or the
intake opening in the vacuum chamber clogged? Tho-
roughly empty and clean the drip tray and vacuum cham-
ber. If the problem persists, return the appliance to your
vendor for examination and repair.
Vacuumizing Contai-
ners:
The air flow from
the container to the appli-
ance is blocked.
Check the following items:
– Is the pressure valve turned open? Before evacuation,
manually operated pressure valves need to be turned to
the “Open” position.
– Is the pressure valve or vacuum hose clogged? You
may try to blow out the obstacle. If this is not successful,
contact your vendor for replacement.
Always ensure that the contents of the container is not
sucked in during evacuation.
Problem
Possible Reasons
The Easy Solution
The vacuum pump stops
after a short time, before
reaching a sufficient low
pressure.
The vacuum system (appli-
ance and bag / container)
is leaking
Check the following items:
– Is the lid of the appliance closed and engaged correctly
(see: ‘Operation’)?
– Are the vacuum gaskets in proper condition and clean
(see: ‘Care and Cleaning’)?
– Is the bag positioned correctly and without wrinkles
and gaps in the vacuum chamber?
– Is the bag or container really air-tight? Check, if the
air flows back into the bag or container after the vacuum
pump has stopped. While starting the evacuation, press
the lid of the appliance (vacuumizing bags) or the con-
tainer lid down.
– Is the container damaged in any way?
Do not use
vacuum containers any more for vacuum
sealing, when they are cracked, worn, mel-
ted, brittle, or damaged in any other way!
– Is the vacuum hose connected air-tightly? If the plug
of the vacuum hose does not fit correctly to the pressure
valve of the container, use an appropriate container.
– Is the vacuum hose damaged? Especially check the
areas between the plugs and hose.
If you find it difficult to get the vacuum system completely
air-tight, although the bag / container is air-tight, you may
try the “Pulse” function (see: ‘Operation / Manually Con-
trolling the Vacuum Pump’).
