Problem
Possible Reasons
The Easy Solution
The bag is not sealed.
The appliance is overheated
and/or melting the foil of the
bag.
Ensure that you have given the appliance suffi-
cient time to cool down. Wait 30 seconds bet-
ween seals. Switch off the appliance and with
the lid open leave it cool down for 20 minutes.
The stabilisation levers are in
IDLE/SCALE position.
Turn the stabilisation levers on both sides of the
appliance to the VAC position. Then try again.
Foods with high liquid conten-
ts prevent the bag from being
sealed properly, because high
amounts of liquid are sucked in
during sealing.
Cut off the upper rim of the bag and wipe clean
the top of the bag. Perhaps, remove some mate-
rial from the bag to leave some more free space
on top of the bag.
Partially freeze foods with excess liquids prior to
vacuum sealing. This way, during sealing, liquids
will not be sucked out so easily.
Choose the GENTLE speed and MOIST setting.
Terminate the vacuuming process in time by
pressing the SEAL button for sealing at once.
You did not position the bag
correctly for sealing.
The upper rim of the bag must lay completely
smooth on the heating bar and vacuum gasket
without any wrinkles.
The bag or foil melts or is
ripped at the seal.
You have used improper foils
or bags.
Only use foils and bags suitable for foil sealing
appliances.
The appliance may be overhea-
ted. The sealing bar is too hot
during the sealing process.
Leave the appliance cool down for at least 20
minutes with the lid open. After each sealing
process, wait at least 30 seconds before sealing
the next bag.
The container is not vacu-
umed (function VAC/MARI-
NATE).
The vacuum hose is not con-
nected properly.
Ensure that the correct end of the vacuum hose
is pushed properly onto the vacuum outlet of the
appliance.
Ensure that the connection of the vacuum hose
to the vacuum port of the container lid is airtight.
The vacuum hose is blocked or
damaged.
Contact your vendor for replacement.
The lid seal of the vacuum con-
tainer is leaking.
Ensure that the lid seal of the container and the
rim of the container and container lid are com-
pletely clean. If required, replace the seal. Use
another container.
