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 14 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.

•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 2.5cm between the contents and the lid.
