Why is my FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance bag not sealing properly?
If your bag isn't sealing properly, ensure the unit is on the moist food setting if there's liquid in the bag. If there's too much liquid, freeze the contents before vacuuming. Check for food debris around the seal area; if present, remove the gasket, clean it, and reinsert it into the vacuum channel. If the bag has wrinkles, gently stretch it flat while inserting it into the vacuum channel.
What to do if the FoodSaver Kitchen Appliance vacuum pump is running, but the bag is not evacuating?
If the vacuum pump is running, but the bag isn't evacuating, ensure one end of the bag is sealed if you are making a bag from a roll. Adjust the bag and try again, making sure the open end is down inside the vacuum channel. Check for wrinkles in the bag along the sealing strip; gently stretch the bag flat while inserting it into the vacuum channel to prevent wrinkles. Open the unit and ensure the gaskets are inserted properly, and there are no foreign objects, dirt, or debris on the top or bottom gasket. If the appliance has been left in the latched position, 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.
