TROUBLE SHOOTING

Nothing happens when I try to vacuum seal:

1. Check the power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into a power outlet.
2. Check the power cord to make sure it is set to the correct mode. Refer to the above operating instructions.
3. If the appliance has several modes, check the settings to make sure it is set to the correct mode. Refer to the above operating instructions.

Air is not removed from the bag completely

1. To seal properly, the open end of bag should be resting entirely inside Vacuum Chamber area.
2. Check the sealing strip and foam gaskets for debris and positioning. Make sure there is no breakage or distortion on both foam seal gaskets. Wipe clean and secure them back into place.
3. The vacuum bag may have a leak. To test for a leak, seal the bag with some air in it, submerge in water, and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. If there is a leak, re-seal or use another bag.
4. Use only the specific vacuum bags provided by dealers.
5. There may be leaks along the seal caused by wrinkles, debris crumbs, grease or liquids. Open the bag, wipe the sealing area of the bag and smooth it out along the sealing strip before re-sealing.

The appliance does not start to seal after vacuuming

1. There is a vacuum pressure sensor in the appliance. The appliance will not begin to seal automatically if the vacuum pressure inside the bag is not able to reach to the predetermined vacuum pressure. Check the sealing strip and the foam gaskets for debris and correct positioning. Wipe clean and secure them back into place, and try again.

2. Check there is no breakage or distortion on both foam seal gaskets.

3. The vacuum bag may have a leak. To test for a leak, seal the bag with some air in it, submerge in water, and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. If there is a
   leak, re-seal or use another bag.

4. There may be leaks along the seal caused by wrinkles or damage or caused by debris crumbs or liquids at the open end of the bag. Open the bag, wipe the sealing area of the bag and smooth it out. Make sure there is no winkles or damage before re-sealing.

Air has entered into the bag after being sealed

1. There may be leaks along the seal caused by wrinkles or damage or caused by debris crumbs or liquids at the open end of the bag. Open the bag, wipe the sealing area of the bag and smooth it out. Make sure there is no winkles or damage before re-sealing.
2. Fermentation from food may occur if there is air in the bag. Open the bag, if the food has begun to spoil, please discard the food. Lack of refrigeration or fluctuating temperatures in the refrigerator can cause food to spoil.
3. Check the bag for a puncture or hole. Do not vacuum and seal hard items with sharp points such as bones and nut shells. If necessary, cushion sharp edges with paper towel to avoid damaging the vacuum bag.

The bag melts
Should the sealing strip or sealing element overheat and melt the bag, it may be necessary to lift the lid and allow sealing strip and element to cool for a few minutes.
