Possible problem Solution
The appliance does not seal the
plastic bag properly
• Check if:
- the plastic bag is in proper position ( Sealing the plastic
bag
) and if the end of the plastic bag extends to the middle of
the gasket into the vacuum chamber
- anything sticks to the sealing band or the gaskets
- little pieces of food are inside the plastic bag on the section
of the sealing band
- the smooth side of the foil is facing up
• In case of an overheated sealing band the plastic bag would
melt. Open the appliance and let it cool down for a few minutes
• In the event of overheating the appliance will automatically
shutdown (thermal cut out) to prevent further damage. Let the
appliance cool down for 15 minutes and try again.
After the sealing process is fin-
ished the plastic bag is loosing its
vacuum
• Folds, crumbs, grease or dampness on the sealing band
section of the bag can cause leaking. Open the bag, clean the
inside of the plastic bag in the section where you want to seal it
and seal the bag again.
• Some food (such as fresh fruit and vegetables) can ferment
or release their natural gases.
• Lack of refrigeration or changing temperatures can cause food
to spoil.
• Check if the plastic bag has a hole - You can identify this by
dipping the sealed plastic bag into water. If there is a hole, air
would escape when you put gentle pressure on the plastic bag.
Depending on the position of the hole either seal the plastic bag
again or use a new one.
