The bag melts
Should the dual seal strip overheat and melt the bag, it may be necessary to lift the lid
and allow seal strip to cool for a few minutes.
Air has re-entered into the bag after being sealed
• Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, debris, 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 occur. Most vegetables require blanching prior to vacuum
packaging.
• Open bag if you think food has begun to spoil, and discard food. Lack of
refrigerator or fluctuating temperatures in the refrigerator can cause food to spoil.
If food is not spoiled then consume food immediately.
• Check the bag for a puncture or hole which may have released the vacuum. This
can occur when vacuum sealing sharper/harder items. Do not vacuum package
hard items with sharp points like bones or shell. Cushion sharp edges in the
contents of the bag with paper towels.
Nothing happens when I try to vacuum seal a bag
• Check power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into electrical outlet.
• Examine power cord for any damage.
• See if electrical outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance.
• Make sure the bag is placed correctly inside vacuum chamber and beneath the air
intake.
• Make sure there is 5cm of flat bag between the top of the item in the vacuum bag
and the dual seal strip. The bag needs to be completely flat on the dual seal strip.
Air is not removed from the bag completely
• To seal correctly, the open end of the bag should be resting entirely inside the
vacuum chamber area.
• Check the dual seal strip and the foam gaskets are free of any food residue. Make
sure both the upper and lower foam gaskets are flat in their grooves and not
compressed or damaged in anyway. You can try flipping the foam gaskets over if
needed. Wipe clean and smooth them back into place if needed.
• Vacuum 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.
• Use only the specified vacuum bag with vacuum channels provided by Luvele.
• Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, debris crumbs, grease or liquids.
Reopen bag, wipe the top inside of the bag and smooth it out along the sealing
strip before resealing.
• There is a vacuum pressure sensor built in this machine. The machine will not turn
to seal automatically if the vacuum pressure inside the bag is not able to reach the
predetermined vacuum pressure. Check dual seal strip and the foam gaskets for
debris and correct position. Wipe clean and smooth them back into place, and try
again.
