1. Make sure the opening of the bag is placed entirely inside vacuum chamber.
2. Examine the bag if it leaks. Seal bag with air, then immerse it in water and apply pressure, bubbles indicate a leak, use a new bag if bubbles appear.
3. If you use a bag with customized size, check the seal of bag. A wrinkle in the bag along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter, just cut bag and reseal.
4. Do not attempt to make your own side seams for a bag, the bags are manufactured with special side seams, which are sealed all the way to the outer edge. Making your own side seams may cause leakage and allow air to re-enter.
5. Please not seal the food with high temperature. According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, please not seal the food with high temperature, otherwise the food will become smaller when cool down, so it looks like air leaking.
6. There is still air inside the bags with vegetables or fruit after vacuum. After vacuum, please put the sealed bags into refrigerator, otherwise air release will happen due to photosynthesis, so can not achieve vacuum result.
7. Please not seal the fermented food. Fermented food is not suitable for vacuum packing, because fermented food will release air itself.

1. Examine seal of bag. A wrinkle along the seal may cause leakage and allow air to enter, simply cut bag and reseal.
2. Sometimes moisture or food material (such as juices, grease, crumbs, powders, etc.) along seal prevents bag from sealing properly. Cut bag, wipe top inside of bag and reseal.
3. If you vacuum package sharp food items, bag may have been punctured, use a new bag if there is a hole. Cover sharp food items with a soft cushioning material, such as a tissue paper, and reseal.
4. If there’s air still in the bag, fermentation or the release of natural gases from inside the foods may have occurred, when this happens, food may have begun to spoil and should be discarded.

If the bag melts, rubber lip may have become too hot, always wait at least 5 minutes for appliance to cool down before you vacuum package another item.

The preservation times can vary based on how the food is stored. Below are the estimated times for food kept in the fridge (5 ± 3° C), at room temperature (25 ± 2°C), and in the freezer (-18 ±2°C), with and without vacuum sealing.

1. Do not overfull the bags, leave enough length at the opening of the bag so that it can be placed in the vacuum chamber easily.
2. Ensure that the opening the bag is not wet. A wet bag may be difficult to melt and seal tightly.
3. Vacuum seal can not completely replace the and freeze, perishable foods still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
4. Make the opening of plastic bags clean and flat, no foreign objects or folds allowed, otherwise it will cause difficulty or leak during seal.
5. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently stretch bag flat while inserting into the vacuum chamber and hold it until the pump begins to work.
6. When you are vacuum sealing items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware etc.), protect the bag from punctures by wrapping item in soft cushioning material, such as tissue paper, you may need a canister or container instead of a bag.
7. When using accessories, remember to leave 2.5CM (1-inch) of space at top of canister or container.
8. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for the best results.
