Problem Solution

but now air has re-entered
• Examine the seal. A wrinkle along the seal may cause air to re-enter the bag. To prevent wrinkles in the
seal, gently stretch bag at while inserting bag into Drip Tray.
• Sometimes moisture or food material (such as juices, grease, crumbs, powders, etc.) along seal prevents
bag from sealing properly. Cut bag open, wipe top inside of bag and re-seal.
• Sharp food items may have punctured bag. Use a new bag if there is a hole. Cover sharp food items with a
soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel, and re-seal.
• Fermentation or the release of natural gases from inside the foods may have occurred. When this happens,
food may have begun to spoil and should be discarded.
• Faulty bag. Bag could be punctured. Try another bag.
