• Check if the appliance is properly connected to a power outlet and
check if the power outlet does work. Therefore connect another appliance
to the same power outlet.
• Check if the power cord and the plug have any defects. Contact
authorised service centre if they show any defects.
• The appliance shuts off automatically to prevent overheating. Let the
appliance cool down for 15 minutes and try again.
• Check if the plastic bag is in proper position (Sealing the plastic
bag) and check if the smooth side of the foil is facing up.
• Check if:
- the plastic bag is in proper position (Sealing the plastic
bag) and if the end of the plastic bag extends to the middle of the
gasket into the vacuum chamber
- the gaskets and the grommet are properly assembled
- the security lock of the vacuum chamber is all the way to the left
- anything sticks to the sealing band or the gaskets
- little pieces of food are inside the plastic bag on the section of the sealing band
- the smooth side of the foil is facing up
- the plastic bag has a hole - You can proof this by dipping the sealed
plastic bag into water. In case of a hole air would escape when
you put slight pressure on the plastic bag. Depending on the
position of the hole either seal the plastic bag again or use a new one.
• Check if:
- the plastic bag is in proper position (Sealing the plastic
bag) and if the end of the plastic bag extends to the middle of the
gasket into the vacuum chamber
