• If making a bag from a roll, make sure one end of bag is sealed. See How to Make a Bag from a FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealing Roll.
  • Adjust the bag and try again. Make sure the open end of the bag is in down inside the vacuum channel.
  • Check for wrinkles in bag along Sealing Strip. To prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch bag flat while inserting bag into Vacuum Channel.
  • Open unit and make sure Gaskets are inserted properly and there are no foreign objects, dirt or debris on the Upper or Lower Gasket.
  • Latch has been left closed position: Gaskets may be compressed. Unlatch and allow 10 to 20 minutes for Gaskets to expand.
  • Make sure the accessory hose is not attached to accessory port.
  • Make sure the lid is latched down all the way. If the Latch does not catch the lid and bring it down, there will be a leak between the Gaskets.
