TROUBLESHOOTING
•
Make sure the power cord is correctly plugged into the electrical outlet.
•
Make sure the power cord is not damaged in any way.
•
Make sure the electrical outlet is operative by plugging in another appliance. If it is not,
please check the circuit breakers or fuses in your home.
•
Make sure the bag is positioned correctly down in the Drip Tray.
•
Press down firmly on both sides of lid.
•
Wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off, and then try using again.
•
Check that there are not gaps, folds, wrinkles or holes in the pre-sealed bags.
•
Check for loose, worn or cracked Upper and Lower Sealing Gaskets.
•
Foods with high liquid contents may prevent the bag from sealing properly. Cut bag open
and wipe top inside of bag and reseal.
•
Check to see if bag is properly inserted into the Drip Tray.
•
Make sure you've placed the bag in the proper place. When making a bag from a roll, make
sure end of cut piece is on Sealing Strip, NOT over Lower Sealing Gasket or in Drip Tray.
•
The sealing strip may have been too hot during the sealing process. Allow the unit to cool
for 20 seconds between uses. If the bag continues to melt, allow the unit to cool with the
lid in the upright position for 25 minutes before using.
•
Check the seal of the bag. There may be a hole or wrinkle that is allowing air to re-enter the
bag. Carefully cut the bag open and re-seal it, or use an entirely new bag.
•
Make sure there is no moisture or liquid from the food present within the bag. You may need
to cut open the bag and re-seal it in moist setting, or use an entirely new bag. Partially freeze
foods with excess liquids, prior to vacuum sealing.
•
Make sure there were no food items with sharp edges that may have punctured the bag. If
you find a puncture hole seal the item in an entirely new bag.
•
Make sure no liquids were drawn to the sealing strip area.
•
Check for loose, worn or cracked Upper and Lower Sealing Gaskets.
•
Moisture of foods with high liquid content will prevent the bag from sealing properly.

Ma machine ne passe pas au stade 3, c'est à dire qu'elle ne scellé pas mon sac. Que faire ?
If your Seal-a-Meal FSSMSL0160-033 machine does not progress to stage 3 and does not seal the bag, follow these steps:
1. Ensure proper placement: Make sure the open end of the bag is not in the drip tray but correctly placed on the sealing strip.
2. Close the lid properly: The machine will not start if the lid is not fully closed. Place one hand on each end of the upper lid and press firmly.
3. Check the bag: Ensure the bag is not custom-made with the cut end on the lower gasket or drip tray. It should be on the sealing strip.
4. Avoid overheating: Let the machine cool for 20 seconds between uses. If sealing many bags, wait 25 minutes between sessions.
5. Inspect the bag for leaks or punctures: A small hole or fold can prevent proper sealing. Use a new bag if necessary.
By following these steps, the machine should proceed to sealing.
