Problem the easy solution
The appliance does not generate
a vacuum inside the container
• Check, whether:
- the vacuum hose is connected properly to the
vacuum port and container (see: ›How to Vacu-
um Seal a Container‹).
- the lid of the container is closed properly and
the black rubber seal on the lid of the contai-
ner is properly attached to the lid.
- the rubber seal of the vacuum chamber is porous
and/or leaking.
- the vacuum hose is defective.
- the container is overfilled. Leave 3 cm of free
space underneath the lid!
After the sealing process is fini-
shed the plastic bag is losing its
vacuum
• Folds, crumbs, grease or humidity on the sealing
section of the bag can cause leaking. Open the
bag, clean the interior of the bag in the section
where you wish to seal it and seal the bag again.
• Naturally, some food (e.g. fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles) can ferment and gases can escape.
• Lack of refrigeration or changing temperatures can
cause food to deteriorate.
• Check, whether the bag is leaking. You can proof
this by dipping the sealed bag into water. In case
of a leak, air would escape when you put slight
pressure on the bag. Seal the bag again or use a
new one.

um
• Check, whether:
- the foam rubber seal of the vacuum chamber is
worn out and brittle or damaged.
- the seal at the brim of the container lid is not in
place, dirty or damaged.

warninG: Always unplug the appliance and wait some minutes to let the appliance
cool down, before moving or cleaning the appliance. Do not touch the sealing band shortly
after operation. Ensure that the appliance is always out of reach of young children.
• Always ensure that no liquids get into the interior of the appliance. Do not place the
appliance or power cord in an automatic dishwasher. Do not immerse the appliance or
power cord in any liquids or spill any liquids on it. Do not pour or drip any liquids on the
appliance or power cord. Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately. Do not place the
appliance on wet or damp surfaces.
• Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads), or any cor-
rosive chemicals (e.g. bleach) for cleaning. For easy cleaning clean the appliance immedi-
ately after each use. This way no leftover food will stick, burn-in or carbonise to the sealing
band. Especially ensure not to damage the gaskets and sealing band when cleaning the
appliance.
