Pro150 is not sealing bag properly

 

 

If using MANUAL mode, seal time may not be long enough. Increase seal time and 
try again. 

 

 

Bags will not seal if any moisture, food particles or debris are present in seal area. 
Wipe the inside of the bag clean and try again. 

 

 

Bag must be properly placed along the seal bar to seal properly. Make sure the entire 
bag is over the seal bar and there are no wrinkles in bag material. 

Pro150 is not vacuuming jars or canisters properly

 

 

The accessory hose may not be properly attached. Ensure the hose is completely 
inserted into the accessory port and try again. 

 

 

Make sure the canister lid is turned to the vacuum setting (if applicable). 

 

 

Leave adequate head space (at least 1”) at the top of the jar or canister.

 

 

Make sure there is no damage to the jar or canister. Jar lids must be flat with no dents

or debris to seal properly. Rubber gasket cannot be cracked or split. 

 

 

Sometimes hairline cracks can develop in canisters. When this happens the canister is

no longer air tight and should be discarded.

 

 

Twist vacuum hood over canister or jar to make sure it is attached securely. 

If problems persist, call customer support for further assistance. Thank

you for purchasing the all-new Pro150. Happy vacuuming!
