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.

 Canister will not vacuum:

•  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.

•  Make sure you aren’t filling the canister 

too full prior to vacuum packaging.  
Always leave at least 7.5cm between  
the contents and the lid.

Bottle Stopper will not vacuum:

•  Make sure the Bottle Stopper is fitting 

snugly inside the bottle. If it is loose, air 
may leak in and prevent a vacuum from 
forming.

•  Make sure the neck of the bottle and tip 

of the Accessory Hose are free from food 
materials, crumbs, etc. Any gaps created 
by food etc, will prevent a vacuum from 
forming:

Note:

 For all accessories, make sure the 

Accessory Hose is completely inserted 
into the lid of accessory. Twist grey tab on 
Accessory Hose while inserting to ensure a 
tight fit.
