Troubleshooting
My Vacuum Sealer shut off and won't turn on again.
• Check power at outlet.
• The thermal overload protector may have been activated. In this case, allow the Vacuum Sealer to cool by opening the Lid for approximately
20 minutes. Be sure to leave the Lid open between each use.
The Seal Bar melts through the bag.
• The Vacuum Sealer is only intended to be used with vacuum-sealing bags. Only Heat-Seal Vacuum Bags should be used. DO NOT USE
PLASTIC HOUSEHOLD BAGS with the Vacuum Sealer.
• Bag cut at an angle may not seal properly. Make sure bag is cut perpendicular to sides.
• Unit stored with Lid locked, causing Chamber Seal to become deformed or over-compressed. Replace Chamber Seal if damaged. Do not
store with Lid locked.
• Check the condition of the Seal Bar tape strips. Replace if needed.
• Open Lid and allow the Seal Bar to cool for 5-10 minutes. Always leave the Lid open between bags, and allow at least 20 seconds between
each use.
The bag seal pulls apart.
• The seal of the bag may be incomplete. If the seal has a crease in it, or if a liquid or powder has been trapped between the layers of the bag,
the layers may not have been welded together properly. Cut off the seal and wipe the inside of the bag clean. Then, try to vacuum-seal the
bag again.
The vacuum pump starts, but no air is being removed from the Heat-Seal Vacuum Bag.
• Be sure you either use the Locks or push down on the Lid throughout the vacuum-seal process.
• Use only Heat-Seal Vacuum Bags with one textured side for the best airflow. For best results, use Hamilton Beach Heat-Seal Vacuum Bags.
• Be sure the bag is inserted properly. The open end of the bag should be centered within the Vacuum Chamber. Be sure not to cover the
Vacuum Ports.
• The bag may have a leak. If there is a leak in the bag, air will be pulled into the bag from the outside. Check for tears or punctures. If you are
using a bag that was made from a roll of material, double-check that the end of the bag is sealed.
Locks will not engage.
• Be sure to push down firmly on both corners while pushing in Locks.
Lid will not open.
• Press down on front Lid corners to release.
• Plug into outlet to release Lid.
All the air has been removed from the bag, yet the pump keeps running for more than 30 seconds.
• Altitudes over 5,500 feet above sea level will cause this. Override the program by pressing Seal Only button.
