Troubleshooting
Here are the steps to follow if you’re experiencing difficulties with your product.
Nothing happens when I press the vacuum/seal button
•
Make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly. Test the electrical outlet by plugging in another appliance.
•
Check to see if either the power cord or the plug is damaged. If they are, don’t attempt to start.
Air is not removed from the bag completely
•
The bag may not be completely sealed. To seal properly, the open end of the cut roll should be resting entirely inside vacuum channel area
•
The bag may have a hole. To test, seal the bag with some air in it, submerge in water, and apply pressure. If there are bubbles present this indicates a leak and a new bag should be used.
