Examine the power cord for any damages.

See if the electrical outlet is operative by plugging in another

appliance.

Make sure the bag is placed correctly inside the vacuum chamber

and beneath the air intake.

Air is not removed from the bag

completely

To seal properly, open the end of the bag should be resting entirely

inside the vacuum chamber area.

Check the 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.

The VacuumFresh 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.

Use only the VacuumFresh bag with vacuum channels provided by

the manufacturer.

Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, debris crumbs,

grease or liquids. Reopen bag, wipe the top inside of the bag and

smooth it out along the sealing strip before resealing.
