Canister will not vacuum:
• Make sure the rubber gasket on the
canister lid is free from food materials,
crumbs, coffee grinds, etc.
• Make sure the rim of the canister does not
have any cracks or scratches. Any gaps can
prevent a vacuum from forming.
• Make sure you aren’t filling the canister
too full prior to vacuum packaging. Always
leave at least 7.5cm between the contents
and the lid.
