Troubleshooting
Here are the steps to follow if you’re experiencing difficulties with your product.
Nothing happens when I press the vacuum/seal button
•
Make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly. Test the electrical outlet by plugging in another appliance.
•
Check to see if either the power cord or the plug is damaged. If they are, don’t attempt to start.
Air is not removed from the bag completely
•
The bag may not be completely sealed. To seal properly, the open end of the cut roll should be resting entirely inside vacuum channel area
•
The bag may have a hole. To test, seal the bag with some air in it, submerge in water, and apply pressure. If there are bubbles present this indicates a leak and a new bag should be used.

sealing bar before trying to seal again
Make sure the bag is free of holes. If sealing foods with sharp edges, first line the bag with napkins or paper towels
Bags are not sealing correctly
