Luvele LSVS130G, Instructions Manual

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. See page 9 for further instructions.

• 

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. 

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.

Troubleshooting

Vacuum Sealing moist or liquid items

Many troubles faced when vacuum sealing are from trying to seal moist or liquid 

items. Moist items are more difficult to vacuum seal because the moisture in the 

items naturally wants to get sucked towards the seal area where the vacuuming is 

taking place. If the moisture reaches the seal area the vacuum sealer will 

automatically start to seal the item. This can happen while there is still air in the 

bag and can give the appearance that the vacuum sealer is not working correctly.

Following are some tips to overcome this:

• 

If attempting to seal moist meats like fish and chicken, it is recommended 

that you cut you vacuum bag with extra length, so there is room for the 

moisture to move during the vacuuming process and so the moisture does 

not reach the seal area. 15cm should be enough length from the end of the 

meat item to the seal area.

• 

Another solution to sealing high moisture items is to wrap them in plastic 

wrap then place them in the vacuum bag to be vacuum sealed. This should 

prevent most of the liquid being sucked towards the seal area.

• 

If placing large moist items in a bag like a whole fish, it is very important you 

do not leave any moisture near the seal area. Once you have placed this 

type of item in the bag use some dry paper towel to wipe down the seal area 

for a successful outcome.

• 

Liquid items like soups, stocks, gravy etc should all be frozen before 

attempting to seal.
