Issue
The bag is not
maintaining the vacuum
although the weld seam
is intact.
The weld seam is
defective or not
properly sealed in one
or more places.
The  sensor is lit up
even though a drying
cycle has been carried
out. The drawer cannot
be used.
The  sensor lights up
yellow. The vacuum is
less than usual.
Cause and remedy
The vacuum sealing bag has been damaged by
sharp pointed objects, e.g. pointed pasta shapes or a
bone.
 Start the vacuuming process again with a new
vacuum sealing bag, on a lower vacuum level if
necessary.
 Use an external container if possible.
The sealing bar and/or counterpressure bar are dirty
or there are liquid residues on the sealing bar.
 Clean and dry the sealing bar and/or
counterpressure bar.
The rubber on the counterpressure bar is not evenly
fitted.
 Flatten the rubber.
The edge of the bag is dirty (inside and out). For a
perfect weld seam the edge of the bag must be dry
and grease-free in the area of the seam.
 Fold the edges of the vacuum sealing bag
outwards for filling. This will give you a clean,
perfect weld seam.
The edge of the bag was not positioned smoothly
and without creases on the sealing bar.
 Position the bag smoothly and without creases
along the sealing bar.
The drying cycle failed to remove all of the moisture
from the oil circulation system in the vacuum pump.
The drawer is locked and cannot be used for 1 hour.
 Wait for 1 hour and then carry out another drying
cycle (see "Cleaning and care – Carrying out a
drying cycle"). Ensure that the vacuum chamber is
free of liquid residues.
During the food evacuation process, moisture ingress
into the oil circulation system in the vacuum pump
has occurred. This can impair the performance of the
vacuum levels.
 Carry out a drying cycle (see "Cleaning and care –
Carrying out a drying cycle").
