Freeze the contents before vacuuming.
What to do if FoodSaver V3230 gasket is loose or has a tear?
If the lower gasket of your FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance is loose or torn, remove it, clean it, and reinsert it into the vacuum channel. If the upper gasket is the issue, please contact Customer Service.
What to do if FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance bag has wrinkles?
To prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch the bag flat while inserting it into the vacuum channel.
Why does air re-enter the FoodSaver Kitchen Appliances bag after vacuum sealing?
If air has re-entered the bag after vacuum sealing with your FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance, examine the seal for wrinkles. Stretching the bag flat during insertion can prevent this. Also, moisture or food debris along the seal can prevent proper sealing; wipe the bag's inside before resealing. Sharp food items may have punctured the bag, so use a new bag or cover the item with a soft material before resealing. Finally, fermentation or natural gases from the food may cause this; in such cases, the food may have spoiled and should be discarded.
Why no lights on FoodSaver V3230 Kitchen Appliances control panel?
If there are no lights on the control panel of your FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance, first ensure that the unit is plugged in. Next, verify that the wall outlet is functional. Finally, make sure the lid is completely closed and the bar is in the closed position.
What to do if FoodSaver V3230 vacuum pump is running, but bag is not evacuating?
If the vacuum pump is running but the bag isn't evacuating in your FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance, ensure one end of the bag is sealed if you're making a bag from a roll. Adjust the bag to ensure the open end is correctly placed inside the vacuum channel. Check for wrinkles in the bag along the sealing strip, and gently stretch the bag flat during insertion to prevent them. Open the unit and ensure the gaskets are properly inserted and free of foreign objects or debris. If the appliance has been left latched, unlatch it and allow 10 to 20 minutes for the gaskets to expand. Also, make sure the accessory hose is not attached to the accessory port.
