EN TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING Stollar Vacuum Fresh Pro BVS700 PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION Nothing happens when I try to vacuum package Check the power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into electrical outlet. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION The appliance does not turn to seal after vacuuming There is a vacuum pressure sensor built in this appliance. The VacuumFresh Pro 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.
EN TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTION The canister doesn’t vacuum Make sure the hose is well connected both to the appliance and the canister firmly. Check if the knob of the canister is on the position of “seal”. Press the lid OR on the hose adaptor at the very beginning of vacuuming to avoid leaking from the cover seal. Check if there are significant damages or smashes, if yes, change it for a new one. Check the function of the vacuum sealer. Make sure the rim of the canister is clean enough.
