TROUBLESHOOTING
1. The appliance does not work
- Check that the power cord is properly connected and not damaged.
- Check that the bag is properly positioned and not outside of the suction chamber.
-
Ensure that the lid is properly closed.
2. There is still air inside the bag
- Ensure that the open end of the bag is properly inserted into the suction chamber. If the edge of the bag is behind
the sealing of the suction groove, the air will not be extracted, even if the weld is tight.
- Check the tightness of the bag by immersing it in a container filled with water. Bubbles coming out from the bag
will reveal potential leaks. If that is the case, use a different bag or cut off the leaking weld and reseal the bag.
-
Never make additional welds on the sides of the bag. The bags are equipped with special side welds, which are
sealed along the entire length of the outer edge. Attempts to create a side weld can cause the bag to leak and
allow air to penetrate.
3. The air was removed from the bag, but it re-entered
-
Check the tightness of the bag (see the preceding paragraph).
- If you detect any leaks, cut off the weld and reseal the bag.
-
The moisture of the food or the food itself (juices, fats, crumbs, etc.) prevent proper sealing of the bag. Reopen the
bag, dry and clean the weld and reseal the bag.
- Packed objects with sharp edges may puncture the bag. Wrap food and sharp-edged objects with a soft material
(e.g. a paper towel) and seal the new bag.
4. The bag melts at the joint
The welding element may be overheated after repeated use. Allow the appliance to cool down for 1 minute after each
use.

FOOD SAFETY

The vacuum packing process extends the life of the food by removing most of the air from the sealed container or bag.
It reduces the oxidation of food, which affects their nutritional value, taste and overall quality.
The removal of air also slows down the growth of microorganisms, which can under certain conditions degrade food
quality. These microorganisms in particular include:
Fungi - they cannot grow in an environment with low oxygen level and vacuum packing therefore effectively reduces
their growth.
Yeast - they require water, sugar and reasonable temperature to multiply and grow. They can survive in the air and
also in an airless environment. Their growth is slowed down by cooling. Freezing stops their growth completely.
Bacteria - the growth of these microorganisms can be significantly reduced at temperatures of 4 °C and less. Freezing
to -17 °C does not kill microorganisms, but it stops their growth and multiplication. In the case of long-term storage

of perishable food, always freeze while using vacuum packing technology. After defrosting them, keep these foods
refrigerated at lower temperatures.
NOTICE:
Vacuum packing is not a substitute for a canning process. However, vacuum packing slows down the processes
resulting in food spoilage. Perishable food which need be frozen or stored in a refrigerator must be stored at such
temperatures even after vacuum packing.
