PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION

The appliance does not turn to

seal after vacuuming

There is a vacuum pressure sensor built in this appliance.

The VacuumFresh will not turn to seal automatically if the vacuum

pressure inside the bag is not able to reach to the predetermined

vacuum pressure. Check the 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.

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).

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.

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

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

the bag and smooth it out along the sealing strip before resealing.

Air has re-entered into the bag

after being sealed

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.

The release of natural gases or fermentation form foods (such

as fresh fruits and vegetables) may occur. Open the bag, if you

think that the food has begun to spoil – discard the food. Lack of a

refrigerator or ﬂuctuating temperatures in the refrigerator can cause

food spoilage. If food is not spoiled, consume it immediately.

Check the bag for a puncture or hole which may have released the

vacuum. Do not vacuum package hard items with sharp points (like

bones or cracks of a nut shell). Cushion sharp edges with paper

towels before vacuum sealing.

The bag melts

The sealing strip’s and sealing elements overheat could cause the

bag melting. Lift the lid and allow sealing strip or heating element to

cool for a few minutes.
