Troubleshooting
Vacuum is not holding / Pump won't seal
Ensure the lid is properly seated on the container. Check the silicone seal on the lid for any debris or damage. Make sure the valve on the lid is clean and functioning correctly.
Container seems loose after vacuuming
This is normal. The vacuum seal creates pressure, but the lid should still feel secure. If you suspect a leak, re-vacuum the container.
Food is spoiling faster than expected
Verify that a strong vacuum was achieved. Ensure the container was properly sealed and the lid is not damaged. For certain foods, vacuum sealing extends freshness but does not prevent spoilage indefinitely; observe standard food safety practices.
Difficulty cleaning the lid valve
Gently clean the valve area with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid immersing the entire lid in water if it contains electronic components. Ensure it is completely dry before use.
