Problem Solution
Seal LED Flashing • Unit is overheated. Always allow 20 seconds between seals. Under heavy usage,
appliance will shut off automatically and Red Light will flash. Wait for 20 min. for
unit to cool off.
• Always wait 40 seconds between seals.
•Vacuum pump running more than 120 seconds. Under heavy usage, appliance will
shut off automatically and Red Light will flash. See next section Vacuum Pump is
running, but bag is not evacuating.

• If making a bag from a roll, make sure one end of bag is sealed. See How to
Make a Bag from a Vacuum Sealing Roll.
• Adjust the bag and try again. Make sure the open end of the bag 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 (See Care and Cleaning).
