TROUBLE SHOOTING

Nothing happens when I try to vacuum package

1. Check power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into electrical outlet.

2. Examine power cord for any damages.

3. See if electrical outlet is operative by plugging in another appliance.

4. If your appliance has a mode switch, make sure it is set to the correct mode. Refer to the above operating instructions

5. Make sure bag is placed correctly inside Vacuum chamber and beneath the air intake.

Air is not removed from the bag completely:

1. To seal properly, open end of bag should be resting entirely inside vacuum chamber area.

2. Check sealing strip and the foam gasket beneath the lid for debris and position. Make sure no breaking or distortion of the foam seal gaskets on both the cover and on the base around the vacuum chamber. Wipe clean and smooth them back into place.

3. Vacuum bag may have a leak. To test, seal the bag with some air in it, submerge in water, and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. Reseal or use another bag.

The machine does not turn to seal after vacuuming:

1. There is a vacuum pressure sensor built in this machine. The machine will not turn to seal automatically if the vacuum pressure inside the bag is not able to reach to the predetermined vacuum pressure. Check sealing strip and the foam gasket beneath the lid for debris and correct position. Wipe clean and smooth them back into place, and try again.

2. Make sure no breaking or distortion of the foam seal gaskets on both the cover and on the base around the vacuum chamber. Take it out from the groove, wash and dry it thoroughly, or replace with a new foam gasket (get it from where you brought or your nearest service center).
