Troubleshooting

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.

2Make sure the Sealing Adjustment Switch is in the "1", "2" or "3" position.

3Check 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.

4If 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.

5Do 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.

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 paper towels, styro- foam, tissue, etc.

4If you find none of these conditions identified in 1-3 (above), and the bag appears to have air inside, fermentation or the release of natural gases from inside the foods may have occurred. This could indicate that the food may have begun to spoil and should be discarded.
