Frequently Asked Questions Problem The vacuum-sealing bag was not sealed in time. All sensors have gone out. The glass lid will not open. Possible cause and solution The required vacuum (vacuum level 1) for sealing a bag was not achieved.  Touch the  sensor again or repeatedly until the vacuuming process ends and the bag is sealed. There was an interruption to the power supply during the vacuuming process. The vacuum chamber is still under pressure so the glass lid cannot be opened. Do not under any circumstances try to force the glass lid open or use tools to open it.  When the power supply is restored, the glass lid can be opened again after initialization (all sensors and controls light up).  Start the vacuuming process again if necessary. There is still too much air in the bag at the end of the vacuuming process. The vacuum level was too low.  Start the vacuuming process again with a new bag and a higher vacuum level. The vacuum-sealing bag is too big for the food to be vacuumed.  Use a new smaller bag or cut a larger bag to fit the size of the food.  Start the vacuuming process again, with a higher vacuum level if necessary. After several consecutive vacuuming processes the weld seam is faulty/not properly sealed. The sealing bar has overheated.  Wait a minimum of 2 minutes between individual vacuuming processes to prevent the sealing bar from overheating again. The edge of the bag is not completely sealed. The edge of the bag was not positioned centrally along the sealing bar or has slipped.  Place the edge of the bag centrally along the sealing bar. Make sure that the edge of the bag is parallel to the sealing bar and protrudes over it by approx. ³/₄" (2 cm). The bag is wider than 9 ³/₄" (25 cm).  Use vacuum-sealing bags with a maximum width of 9 ³/₄" (25 cm). 30
