Vacuum Packaging with Canisters
Tips for Troubleshooting
If your machine will not turn on, ensure the machine is properly plugged into a grounded
outlet. Check the power cord for tears or frays.
If you are not achieving a complete vacuum:
• Ensure the open end of the bag is across the gasket and within the vacuum chamber.
• Also, the bag must be laid flat across the seal bar. Wrinkles and bulges may result in an
insufficient seal.
• Inspect the seal. A successful seal will look clear. If the seal is spotty, incomplete, wrinkled,
white or milky, cut the seal and restart the sealing process.
• For best results, use
VAC
MASTER
®
bags, rolls and accessories.
If the vacuum is lost after sealing, check for small puncture holes in the bag, then cover any
sharp edges with a
VAC
MASTER
®
Bone Guard Sheet, and vacuum package in a new bag.
If your canister will not properly vacuum:
• Ensure that the accessory hose is inserted into the lid.
• Ensure that the canister lid is set to the “Vacuum” setting.
• Check the canister for cracks or damage.
• Always leave at least 1 inch of head space between the contents and the rim of the canister.
