TIPS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING
1.
If your machine will not turn on, ensure the machine is properly plugged into a
grounded outlet. Check the power cord for tears or frays. The machine will
automatically shut down after 10 minutes.
2.
If you are not achieving a complete vacuum:
a.
Ensure the open end of the bag is across the seal bar and within the
gasket.
b.
Also, the bag must be laid flat across the seal bar. Wrinkles and bulges
may result in an insufficient seal.
c.
Inspect the seal. A successful seal will look clear. If the seal is spotty,
incomplete, wrinkled, white or milky, cut the seal and restart the sealing
process.
d.
For best results use Pac Food micro channel and embossed channel bags
and rolls.
3.
If vacuum is lost after sealing, check for small puncture holes in the bag, then
cover any sharp edges with paper towels and vacuum package in a new bag.
4.
If your canister will not properly vacuum:
a.
Ensure that the accessory hose is inserted into the lid.
b.
Ensure the canister lid is set to the “Vacuum” setting.
c.
Check the canister for cracks or damage.
d.
Always leave at least three centimetres of head space between the
contents and the rim of the canister.
