The FoodSaver Universal Lid, Bulk Storage Canister,
Square Canister Will Not Vacuum:
1 When using the Universal Lid, make sure that the rim of the
container is smooth and flat. Ragged edges will prevent the
Universal Lid from forming a vacuum.
2 Make sure the rubber gaskets underneath the lids and the rim
of the container are free from food materials, crumbs, etc.
3 Make sure the knob on the lid is closing and opening properly
and that there are no food materials caught inside.
4 Make sure the Accessory Hose is securely in the Accessory Port
on the appliance and on the lid of the canister.
The FoodSaver Bottle Stopper Will Not Vacuum:
1 Make sure the Bottle Stopper is fitting snugly inside the bottle.
If it is loose, air may leak in and prevent a vacuum from forming.
2 Make sure the neck of the bottle and tip of the Accessory Hose
are free from food materials, crumbs, etc. Any gaps will prevent a
vacuum from forming.
3 Make sure the Accessory Hose is securely in the Accessory Port on
the appliance and on the Bottle Stopper.
