Nothing happens when the on button is
pressed:
• Check to see that the appliance is plugged
in. Test electrical outlet by plugging in
another appliance.
• The appliance will shut off automatically
if overheated. Allow to cool down for 20
minutes and try again.
• Check supply cord and plug for damage.
If damaged, do not use the appliance.
Air is not removed from the bag:
• To seal properly, open end of bag should
be resting entirely inside Vacuum Channel
area.
• Check sealing strip and gasket beneath
the lid for debris. Wipe off and then
smooth back into place.
• Bag may have a leak. To test, seal the bag
with some air in it, submerge in water,
and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a
leak. Reseal or use another bag.
• Open bag and dry/wipe at top end of bag.
Ensure no food particles are in/around top
of bag.
Air was removed from the bag, but has come
back into the bag:
• Leaks along the seal can be caused
by wrinkles, crumbs, grease or liquids.
Reopen bag, wipe the top inside of the
bag and smooth it out along the sealing
strip before resealing.
• The release of natural gases or
fermentation from foods, (such as fresh
fruits and vegetables) may have occurred.
Most vegetables require blanching prior
to vacuum packing. See page 17 for more
details. Open bag, if you think food has
begun to spoil, discard food. Lack of
refrigeration or fluctuating temperatures in
the Refrigerator can cause food to spoil.
• Check the bag for a puncture or hole,
which may have released the vacuum.
Cushion sharp edges in the contents of
the bag with paper towels.
The Bag Melts:
• Should sealing strip overheat and melt
the bag, it may be necessary to lift the
lid and allow sealing strip to cool for a
few minutes.
• Built-in safety shut-off may shut the
appliance off if it becomes overheated.
Allow the unit to cool down for 20
minutes and try again.

• Make sure the rubber gasket on the
canister lid is free from food materials,
crumbs, coffee grinds, etc.
• Make sure the rim of the canister does
not have any cracks or scratches. Any
gaps can prevent a vacuum from forming.

materials, crumbs, etc. Any gaps created
by food etc, will prevent a vacuum from
forming:
