The Vacuum Sealer won’t turn on
▪ Ensure that the machine is properly plugged into a grounded outlet.
▪
Check the power cord for tears and frays. Do not use machine if power cord is
damaged.
The Vacuum Sealer doesn’t pull a complete vacuum with bags
▪
To vacuum and seal properly, the edge of bag must be across the seal bar. Make
sure the bag is inside the chamber seal gasket and that there are no wrinkles in
the bag along the seal bar.
▪
If packaging from a roll bag, make sure first seal is complete and that there are no
gaps in either seal.
▪
The Vacuum Sealer and vacuum bag need to be clean, dry and free of debris for the
vacuum process to be successful. Wipe the surface of seal bar and inside of bag
and try again.
Vacuum bag loses vacuum after being sealed
▪
Sharp items can puncture small holes in bags. To prevent this, cover sharp edges
with paper towel and vacuum in a new bag.
▪
Some fruits and vegetables can release gases (out-gassing) if not properly blanched
or frozen before packaging. Open bag. If you think food spoilage has begun,
discard food. If food spoilage has not yet begun, consume immediately. If in doubt,
discard food.
