5Do not operate the Vac 1050 with a damaged power cord or plug. Do not operate the Vac 1050 if it malfunctions or is in any way damaged. If the cord or the machine is damaged, it must be returned to an authorized service center.

6Do not use an extension cord with the FoodSaver 1050.

7Use only accessories or attachments recommended by Tilia, Inc.

8Use the Vac 1050 only for its intended use.

10120v Machines Only: The Vac 1050 has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

Troubleshooting

Nothing Happens When the On Button Is Pressed:

1Make sure the power cord is firmly plugged into the electrical outlet.

2Make sure the power cord is not damaged in any way.

3Make sure the electrical outlet is operative by plugging in another appliance.

4Wait 20 minutes to allow the Vac 1050 to cool off, and then try using it again. The Vac 1050 will shut off automatically if it becomes too hot. To keep the machine from becoming too hot:

a.Wait at least 20 seconds for the machine 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.

Air Is Not Removed From the Bag:

1Make sure the open end of the bag is resting entirely inside the vacuum channel. Make sure you are not putting the edge of the bag beyond the vacuum channel.

2Check the bag for leaks. Seal the bag with some air in it. Submerge it in water and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. If the bag has a leak, you need to use a new bag.

3If using a custom-sized FoodSaver Bag, check the seal of the bag. There may be a wrinkle in the bag along the seal, which causes leakage and prevents air from being removed. Cut the bag and reseal the edge.

4Do not attempt to make your own side seams for a FoodSaver Bag. They are manufactured with special side seams, which are sealed all the way to the outer edge. Making your own side seams may leave air pockets, which will cause leakage and prevent air from being completely removed.
