The Mason Jar Will Not Vacuum:
1
Make sure the Jar Sealer is centered and pressed firmly over the
lid on the Mason jar.
2 Make sure the rubber gasket on the Jar Sealer lid is free from
food materials, crumbs, etc.
3 Make sure the rim of the Mason jar does not have any cracks or
scratches. Any gaps can prevent a vacuum from forming.
4 Make sure you aren’t filling the Mason jar too full prior to
vacuum packaging. Always leave at least one inch (1")
between the contents and the lid.
5 Make sure the metal lid of the Mason jar is not bent.
6 Make sure the Accessory Hose is securely in the Accessory Port on
the appliance and on the Jar Sealer.
