TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: MY VACUUM SEALER SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT START AGAIN.
1. The Thermal Overload Protector may have been activated. In this case,
allow the Vacuum Sealer to cool by opening the Vacuum Lid for approximately
20 minutes. Be sure to leave the Vacuum Lid open between bag sealing.
Q: THE SEALING BAR MELTS THROUGH THE BAG.
1. The Vacuum Sealer is only intended to be used with vacuum sealing bags.
Vacuum Bags should be used. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS with the
Vacuum Sealer.
2. Check the condition of the Seal Bar Tape strips. Replace if needed.
3. Open the Vacuum Lid and allow the sealing bar to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Always leave the Vacuum Lid open between bags, and allow at least 20 seconds
between cycles.
Q: THE BAG SEAL PULLS APART.
1. The seal of the bag may be incomplete. If the seal has a crease in it, or if a
liquid or powder has been trapped between the layers of the bag, the layers may
not have been welded together properly. Cut the seal off and wipe the inside of
the bag clean. Then, try to vacuum seal the package again. When sealing a
moist or powdery food, insert a paper towel into the bag above the food before
vacuum packaging. The paper towel will prevent the food from interfering with
the seal. See the "Vacuum Packaging Guidelines" in this booklet for helpful
tips.
Q: THE VACUUM PUMP STARTS, BUT NO AIR IS BEING REMOVE
FROM THE VACUUM BAG.
1. For the best results, always use
vacuum bags.
2. Be sure that the bag is inserted
properly. The open end of the
bag should be centered within the
Oval Vacuum Seal. Be sure not
to cover the Vacuum Port opening
(FIGURE 6).
3. The bag may have a leak. If
there is a leak in the bag, air
will be pulled into the bag from
the outside. Check for tears or
punctures. If you are using a bag
that was made from a roll of material, double check that the seal on the
end of the bag is welded closed.
4. Slight pressure on the Vacuum Lid may be necessary to create a seal
at the beginning of the vacuum process.
