Solution
• The appliance is overheated. Always allow 20 seconds between seals.
• Under heavy usage, the appliance will shut off automatically and the seal light will
flash. Wait several minutes for the appliance to cool down.
• The vacuum pump has been running for more than 120 seconds. Under heavy
usage the appliance will shut off automatically and the seal light will flash.
• If making a bag from a roll, make sure that one end of the bag is sealed. Adjust
the bag and try again. Make sure that the open end of the bag is down inside the
vacuum channel.
• Check for wrinkles in the bag along the sealing strip. To prevent wrinkles in the
seal, gently stretch the bag flat while inserting bag into the vacuum channel.
• Open the appliance and make sure that there are no foreign objects, dirt or
debris on the upper gasket.
• Make sure that the appliance is turned on.
• There is too much liquid in the bag, freeze before vacuuming.
• Check for food debris around the seal areas. If present, clean the gaskets.
• The bag has wrinkles – to prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch the bag flat
while inserting bag into vacuum channel.
• The appliance has overheated. Wait several minutes for it to cool down.
• Make sure that the appliance is plugged into the mains supply socket and turned
on.

Always allow about 75mm extra space to allow the bag to seal tightly around the
food contents.
• Gently stretch the bag flat while inserting into the vacuum channel. Make sure
that the end of the bag curls down into the vacuum channel.
• Examine the seal. A wrinkle along the seal may cause air to re-enter the bag. To
prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch the bag flat while inserting bag into the
vacuum channel.
• Moisture or food material (such as juices, grease, crumbs, powders) along the seal
prevents the bag from sealing properly. Cut the bag open, wipe the top inside of
the bag and reseal.
• Sharp food items may have punctured the 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.
• The sealing strip may have become too hot. Always wait at least 20 seconds for
the appliance to cool down before you vacuum seal another item.
