TIPS ON VACUUM SEALING WITH ACCESSORIES
How to prepare accessories for vacuum packing. Accessories include vacuum packing
canisters,containers and bottle stoppers.
1. Always leave at least 2.5cm(1 inch) of space between the contents and the rim.
2. Wipe rim of canister,container or bottle to ensure it is clean and dry.
3. Place lid on canister or container, or place stopper in bottle.
4. For accessories with a large knob on lid, turn knob to vacuum, when the vacuum process is
complete, turn the knob to closed before removing the accessory hose.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO VACUUM PACKAGE:
1. Check the power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into electrical outlet.
2. Examine power cord for any damage.
3. Check electrical outlet is working by plugging in another position.
4. Make sure the lid is closed and the latch is in the locked position.
5. Make sure bag is placed correctly inside vacuum channel.
6. Wait 20 seconds to allow appliance to cool off , and then try using it again.
Note : The appliance will shut off automatically if it becomes too hot.
AIR IS STILL IN THE BAG:
1. Make sure the open end of bag is resting entirely inside vacuum channel. If the edge of the bag
is beyond vacuum channel, bag will not seal properly.
2. Examine bag for leaks. To see if your bag has a leak,seal bag with air, submerge it into water
and apply pressure.Bubbles indicate a leak, use a new bag if bubbles appear.
3. If you are using a custom-sized Vivax bag,check seal of bag. A wrinkle in the bag along the seal
may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter,just cut bag and reseal.
4. Do not attempt to make your own side seams for a Vivax bag,the bags are manufactured with
special side seams,which are sealed all the way to the outer edge.Making your own side seams
may cause leakage and allow air to re -enter.
AIR WAS REMOVED FROM THE BAG, BUT NOW AIR HAS RE-ENTERED.
1. Examine seal of bag. A wrinkle along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to enter,simply
cut bag and reseal.
2. Sometimes moisture or food material(such as juices, grease,crumbs,powders,etc.) along seal
prevents bag from sealing properly. Cut bag open, wipe top inside of bag and reseal.
3. If you are vacuum packing sharp food items, bag may have been punctured, use a new bag if
there is a hole. Cover sharp food items with a soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel,
and reseal.
