Troubleshooting
Vacuum pump not holding a seal
Ensure the lid is properly seated on the container and the valve is clean and free of debris. Check that the vacuum pump's seal is clean and undamaged. Try re-docking the pump and running it again.
Container lid is difficult to remove
Release the vacuum seal by pressing the valve or lifting the lid slightly. If still difficult, ensure the container is at room temperature, as extreme cold can make plastic temporarily stiffer.
Food still spoiling quickly
Verify that the vacuum pump successfully removed air and created a seal. Ensure food was properly prepared and stored at the correct temperature before vacuum sealing. Check the lid seal for any damage.
Plastic containers developing odors
Wash containers thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For persistent odors, try soaking the container in a solution of water and baking soda or vinegar (rinse well afterwards). Ensure the lid seal is removed and cleaned separately.
