Problem
The Easy Solution
After the sealing process is finished the pla-
stic bag is losing its vacuum
• Folds, crumbs, grease or humidity on the sealing section of the
bag can cause leaking. Open the bag, clean the interior of the bag in
the section where you wish to seal it and seal the bag again.
• Naturally, some food (e.g. fresh fruits and vegetables) can fer-
ment and gases can escape.
• Lack of refrigeration or changing temperatures can cause food to
deteriorate.
• Check, whether the bag is leaking. You can proof this by dipping
the sealed bag into water. In case of a leak, air would escape when
you put slight pressure on the bag. Seal the bag again or use a new
one.
