counter top where it is capable of being tripped over, snagged, or pulled

on unintentionally, especially by children.

Always use Food Sealer on a level, flat surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts

inside. Power unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this

boiled, are microwave safe and are reusable. The pattern that appears on

the bag helps provide an airtight seal that lasts longer than standard zip

or sandwich bags.

3) Make sure there were no food items with sharp edges that may

have punctured the bag. If you find a puncture hole seal the item in

an entirely new bag.

THE BAG MELTS

1) The sealing strip may have been too hot during the sealing process.

Allow the unit to cool for 30 seconds between uses. If the bag

continues to melt, allow unit to cool with the lid in the upright

position for 1-2 minutes before using.

THE BAG WILL NOT SEAL

See “Air Was Initially Removed from Bag” section on previous page.

Note: In the event the bag does not seal, the seal button can be

manually pressed during the vacuum process to seal the bag.

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.)

NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I PRESS THE VACUUM BUTTON

1) Make sure the power cord is correctly plugged into the electrical

outlet.

2) Make sure the power cord is not damaged in any way.

3) Make sure the electrical outlet is operative by plugging in another

appliance. If it is not, please check the circuit breakers or fuses in

your home.

4) The unit is equipped with a cool down period between vacuum

cycles. Please wait 30 seconds and try again.

AIR IS NOT REMOVED FROM THE BAG

1) Make sure the NOZZLE is completely inside the bag (refer to the

"How to Use Your Food Sealer" section of the manual to determine if

you are doing it correctly).

2) Check that the bag is sealed at one end and has no holes. Seal the

bag with air in it and put it in water. Apply pressure to the bag. If

there are bubbles present there is a leak, and a new bag should be

used.

3) Verify that the REMOVABLE DRIP TRAY is in the drip tray

compartment and seated properly (refer to "How to Clean the

Removable Drip Tray" section of the manual).

4) Make sure lid is completely latched into place.

AIR WAS INITIALLY REMOVED FROM THE BAG, BUT SOME HAS

SINCE ENTERED THE BAG

1) Check the seal of the bag. There may be a hole or wrinkle that is

allowing air to re-enter the bag. Carefully cut the bag open and re-

seal it, or use an entirely new bag.

2) Make sure there is no moisture or juices from the food present

within the bag. You may need to cut open the bag and re-seal it,

or use an entirely new bag. Foods with excess liquids should be

frozen prior to vacuum sealing. Please refer to the “Hints” section

on page 7.
