Vacuum Packaging with Canisters
Tips for Troubleshooting
If your machine will not turn on, ensure the machine is properly plugged into a grounded
outlet. Check the power cord for tears or frays.
If your Digital Display reads “E”, your machine will stop operating to prevent overheating.
Press “On/Off” button and allow the machine to cool down for 20 minutes.
If the vacuum is lost after sealing, check for small puncture holes in the bag, then cover any
sharp edges with a VACMASTER® Bone Guard Sheet, and vacuum package in a new bag.
If your bag is not pulling a complete vacuum:
• Make sure the open end of the bag is across the seal gasket and within the vacuum chamber.
• Make sure the bag is laid flat across the sealing area. Wrinkles and bulges may result in an
insufficient seal.
• Inspect the seal. A successful seal will look clear. If the seal is spotty, incomplete, wrinkled,
white or milky, cut the seal and restart the sealing process.
If your canister will not properly vacuum:
• Make sure that the accessory hose is inserted into the lid.
• Make sure the canister lid is set to the “Vacuum” setting. (In Marinate Mode to the
“Open” setting.)
• Check the canister for cracks or damage.
• Always leave at least 1 inch of head space between the contents and the rim of the canister.

Place the items into the canister and close
the lid. Ensure the rim of the canister is
clean and dry, and no food or liquid has
been spilled on the lid. Leave some head
space between the contents and the top
of the canister.
Turn the knob on the canister lid to the
“Vacuum” position.
Pull the hose out of the hose
storage compartment by pressing the
compartment door.
Connect the hose to the vacuum port on
the canister lid.
Press “Accessory” button, while slightly
pressing down on the canister lid for 3-5
seconds to start the vacuum cycle.
When the vacuum cycle is complete,
the machine will stop automatically and
beep. Remove the hose from the canister
and turn the knob to “Lock” position. The
canister is ready for storage.
To open the canister, twist the knob to the
“Open” position.
