Troubleshooting
Vacuum sealer does not start when start
Button is pressed:
1. Ensure vacuum sealer is charged.
Vacuum Sealer starts but bag does not
tighten around food:
1. Ensure zipper is firmly closed.
Slide fingers across entire zipper.
2. Air valve is not on flat surface. Reposition bag so
the Air Valve lies flat on counter with no food under
Air Valve.
Vacuum Nozzle and Air Valve
are not making secure contact:
1. Ensure Vacuum Nozzle is centered over the Gray
circle and placed flat on Air Valve. Apply moderate
pressure.
Air was removed from the bag,
but now air has re-entered:
1. Examine zipper and valve of bag.
Food debris in zipper or valve may cause leakage
and allow air to enter.
2. Sometimes moisture or food material along seal
edges of the zipper or beneath the valve prevents
bag from sealing properly. Wipe the inside of bag
around zipper and beneath value and attempt to
reseal.
3. If you are vacuum packaging sharp food items,
bag may have been punctured. Use a new bag if
there is a hole. Cover sharp food items with a soft
cushioning material, such as a paper towel, and
reseal.
