the bag so that the excess of air can escape

TROUBLESHOOTING
IF NOTHING HAPPENS ON PRESSURISING
THE PACKING MACHINE:
-Make sure the electrical cord is properly plu-
gged into the mains.
-Check the cord and the mains socket and make
sure these are not damaged in any way.
-If you find any damage do not use the packing
machine.
THE AIR HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETELY EXPE-
LLED FROM THE BAG:
-For correct packing the end of the bag must
remain inside the vacuum chamber.
-Check for possible dirt on the sealing band or in
the vacuum chamber. If there is any dirt, clean
them and reposition them in their locations.
-The bag may be punctured. To check this, seal
the bag with a little air inside, submerge it in
water and apply pressure. If bubbles form, this
means that there is a leak. Use another bag.
-Check that the cover is completely closed.
THE BAGS OF THE PACKING MACHINE LOSE
VACUUM AFTER SEALING:
-Creases, crumbs, grease or liquids may be
released from the sealed area. Before resealing,
reopen the bag, clean the top part and smooth
the area of the sealing band.
-Food with excess liquid may be frozen before
vacuum packing.
-Check whether any article with sharp-pointed
corners has been able to puncture the bag.
THE SEALING BAND DOES NOT SEAL THE
BAG:
-If the sealing band reheats and melts the bag,
lift the cover and allow the packing machine to
cool for a few minutes.
-After 20 seconds have passed, try again.
