
Make sure the power cord is correctly plugged
into the electrical outlet and in “on” position.
Test electrical outlet by plugging in another
appliance, if it is not working, please check the
circuit breakers or fuses in your home.

Check power cord and plug, and make sure
they are not damaged in any way. If damaged,
do not use the vacuum sealer.
Air is not removed from
the bag completely

To seal properly, the open end of the bag
should be resting entirely inside the vacuum
channel area.

Check the sealing strip and gasket beneath the
lid for debris and position. Wipe clean and
smooth them back into place.

The bag may have a hole. To test, seal the bag
with some air in it, submerge in water, and
apply pressure. If bubbles are present it is an
indicator that there is a leak and a new bag
should be used.

Check if the lid is completely latched into place.
Vacuum sealer bag loses
vacuum after being sealed.

Wrinkles, crumbs, grease or liquids may cause
leaks along the seal. Reopen the bag, wipe the
top inside of the bag and smooth it out along
the sealing strip before resealing.

Check if there is moisture or juices from the
food present within the bag, you may need to
cut open the bag and reseal it, or use an
entirely new bag. Foods with excess liquids
should be frozen before vacuum sealing.

Items with sharp edges, may have punctured
the bag, and released the vacuum. Cushion
sharp edges in the contents of the bag with
paper towels.
