If the sealing strip overheats, it can melt the bag
resulting in an incomplete or improper seal. Lift
the cover and allow the sealing strip to cool for
several minutes before attempting to use again. It
is recommended that you always wait at least 30
seconds between uses of the Seal Only and
vacuum/seal function.
Food or debris in the sealing strip can result in
improper sealing. Wipe the cooled strip lightly
with a damp, clean cloth and dry thoroughly.
