SEALER HAS NO POWER

• Make sure the vacuum sealer is plugged in. 

• Check the power cord and plug for damage. If damaged, DO NOT use the 

   sealer.

• Test the electrical outlet by plugging in another appliance.

• The vacuum sealer will shut off automatically if overheated (lights will 

   flash). Allow the sealer to cool down for 25 minutes before trying again.

SEALER DOES NOT PERFORM FIRST SEAL ON THE BAG

• Make sure the bag cut from the roll is properly positioned as described on 

   page 6.

SEALER DOES NOT COMPLETELY VACUUM AIR FROM BAGS

• To seal properly, the open end of the bag should be dry and resting entirely 

   inside the vacuum chamber.

• Check the bars and gaskets for debris or signs of wear. Wipe clean, if 

   needed and smooth them back into place.

• Bag may have a leak. To test, seal the bag with some air in it, submerge it 

   in water and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. Reseal to close off the 

   leak or use another bag.

BAG IS NOT SEALING PROPERLY

• Ensure both sides of the lid are properly closed.

• The heating bar may overheat and melt the bag. If this happens, lift the lid 

   and allow the bar to cool for a few minutes.

BAG LOSES VACUUM AFTER BEING SEALED

• Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, crumbs, grease or liquids in 

   the sealed area. Reopen the bag. Wipe the top inside of the bag and 

   smooth it out along the sealing bar before resealing.

• Check the bag for punctures or holes.
