Troubleshooting
Air Was Removed From the Bag, But Has Come Back Into the Bag:
1Check the seal of the bag. There may be a wrinkle in the bag along the seal, which caused leakage and allowed air to come back into the bag. Cut the bag open and vacuum package it again.
2Moisture or food material (i.e. juices, grease, crumbs, powders, etc.) along the seal may have caused leakage and allowed air to come back into the bag. Cut the bag open, wipe the top inside of the bag material to clear away any moisture or food residue, then vacuum package the bag again. See the “Food Preparation and Storage Guide” in this User Manual for guidelines for specific foods.
3Food items with sharp edges may have punctured the bag. If you find a puncture hole, you will need to use a new FoodSaver Bag. Make sure to protect the bag from puncture holes by wrapping the items in cushioning material such as a paper towel.
4If you find none of these conditions identified in

a.Wait at least 20 seconds for the appliance to cool down after vacuum packaging and/or sealing before attempting to vacuum and/or seal another bag.
b.Keep the lid open before vacuuming and/or sealing another bag.
The Mason Jar Will Not Vacuum:

2Make sure the rubber gasket on the mason jar lid is free from food materials, crumbs, etc.
3Make sure the rim of the mason jar does not have any cracks or scratches. Any gaps can prevent a vacuum from forming.
4Make sure you aren’t filling the mason jar too full prior to vacuum packaging. Always leave at least one inch (1") between the contents and the lid.
5Make sure the metal lid of the mason jar is not bent.
