Problem Solving
Nothing happens when I press the ’’VACUUM’’ button:
Make sure the power cord is correctly plugged into the electrical outlet.
Make sure the power cord is not damaged in any way.
Make sure the electrical outlet is operative by plugging in another appliance. If it’s not, please check the
circuit breakers or fuses in your home.
Make sure you have turned on the power switch on the back of the machine.
Make sure the bag is positioned correctly down in the vacuum chamber.
Press down on both sides of the lid and make sure it is locked in place.
Wait 5 minutes to allow appliance to cool off, and then try using again.
Air is not vacuumed from the bag:
Check that there are no gaps, folds, wrinkles or holes in the pre-sealed bags.
Check for loose, worn or cracked Upper and Lower sealing gaskets.
Foods with high liquid contents may prevent the bag from sealing properly. Cut bag open and wipe top
inside of bag and reseal.
Check to see if bag is properly inserted into the vacuum chamber.
Make sure you’ve placed the bag in the proper place. When making a bag from a roll, make sure end of
cut piece is on the sealing strip.
Air has seeped back into the vacuumed bag:
Check the seal of the bag. There may be a hole or wrinkle that is allowing air to reenter the bag.
Carefully cut the bag open and re-seal it, or use an entirely new bag.
Make sure rhere is no moisture or loquid from the food present within the bag seal. You may need to
cut open the bag and re-seal it, or use an entirely new bag. Partially freeze foods with excess liquids,
