• Check to see that the appliance is plugged
in. Test electrical outlet by plugging in
another appliance.
• The appliance will shut off automatically
if overheated. Allow to cool down for 20
minutes and try again.

damaged, do not use the appliance.
Air is not removed from the bag:
• To seal properly, open end of bag should be
resting entirely inside Vacuum Channel area.
• Check sealing strip and gasket beneath the
lid for debris. Wipe off and then smooth
back into place.
• Bag may have a leak. To test, seal the bag
with some air in it, submerge in water, and
apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak.
Reseal or use another bag.
• Open bag and dry/wipe at top end of bag.
Ensure no food particles are in/around top
of bag.
Air was removed from the bag, but has come
back into the bag:
• Leaks along the seal can be caused by
wrinkles, crumbs, grease or liquids. Reopen
bag, wipe the top inside of the bag and
smooth it out along the sealing strip before
resealing.
• The release of natural gases or
fermentation from foods, (such as fresh
fruits and vegetables) may have occurred.
Most vegetables require blanching prior
to vacuum packing. See page 14 for more
details. Open bag, if you think food has
begun to spoil, discard food. Lack of
refrigeration or fluctuating temperatures in
the Refrigerator can cause food to spoil.
• Check the bag for a puncture or hole,
which may have released the vacuum.

bag with paper towels.
