b. Ensure the open end of the bag is across the seal bar and within the
vacuum chamber area.
c. Make sure the bag is flat across the seal bar. Eliminate any wrinkles or
folds.
d. Make sure the foam gasket is clean and not damaged.
e. When using the Accessory or Marinate feature, make sure the hose is
securely attached, the lid knob is set to “Vacuum and the lid is on the
canister properly.
E02 – The vacuum sealer will not enter the sealing mode.

cycle.
3. If you are not achieving a complete vacuum:

vacuum chamber.

incomplete, wrinkled, white or milky, cut the seal and restart the
sealing process.

then cover any sharp edges with paper towels and vacuum package in a
new bag.

a. Ensure that the accessory hose is inserted into the lid.
b. Ensure the canister lid is set to the “Vacuum” setting.
c. Check the canister for cracks or damage.
