Channel.
Air was removed from
the bag, but now air
has re-entered
• Examine the seal. A wrinkle along the seal may cause air to re-enter the bag.
To prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch bag flat while inserting bag into
Vacuum Channel.
• Sometimes moisture or food material (such as juices, grease, crumbs, pow-
ders, etc.) along seal prevents bag from sealing properly. Cut bag open, wipe
top inside of bag and reseal.
• Sharp food items may have punctured bag. Use a new bag if there is a hole.
Cover sharp food items with a soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel,
and reseal.
• Fermentation or the release of natural gases from inside the foods may have
occurred. When this happens, food may have begun to spoil and should be
discarded.

appliance to cool down before you vacuum package another item.
