The bag melts
•
Should the dual seal strip overheat and melt the bag, it may be necessary to lift
the lid and allow seal strip to cool for a few minutes.
Air has re-entered into the bag after being sealed
•
Leaks along the seal can be caused by wrinkles, debris, crumbs, grease or liquids.
Reopen bag, wipe the top inside of the bag and smooth it out along the sealing
strip before resealing.
•
The release of natural gases or fermentation from foods such as fresh fruits
and vegetables may occur. Most vegetables require blanching prior to vacuum
packaging.
•
Open bag if you think food has begun to spoil, and discard food. Lack of
refrigerator or fluctuating temperatures in the refrigerator can cause food to spoil.
If food is not spoiled then consume food immediately.
•
Check the bag for a puncture or hole which may have released the vacuum. This
can occur when vacuum sealing sharper/harder items. Do not vacuum package
hard items with sharp points like bones or shell. Cushion sharp edges in the
contents of the bag with paper towels.
Cleaning your Vacuum Sealer:
> Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
> Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
> Avoid using abrasive products or material to clean the unit, for they will scratch the
surface.
> Use a mild dish washing soap and a warm, damp cloth to wipe away food residue or
around components.
> Dry thoroughly before using again.
!
The foam gaskets around the vacuum chamber should be dried
thoroughly before storing. If removal and re-assembling of foam
gaskets is required, then be careful to position them correctly to
ensure no vacuum leakage.
!
IMPORTANT:
Do not store your vacuum sealer with any food residue remaining on
it, especially on the dual seal strip and foam gaskets. If food residue
is left on these parts, it can affect the vacuum sealing function.
Cleaning vacuum bags:
> Wash bags in warm water with a mild dish washing soap
> When washing bags in dishwasher, turn bags inside out and spread them over top
rack of dishwasher, so entire surface is exposed to the wash.
> Dry thoroughly before reusing.
