NOTE: The Vacuum Sealer is ONLY intended to be used with VACUUM BAGS. For
best results, only use the recommended vacuum bags. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD
BAGS! Any other uses of the Vacuum Sealer, other than the uses described in this
booklet, could potentially damage the appliance and void the warranty!
Q: The bag seal pulls apart.
1. If the seal has not fully welded the bag closed, trim off the bad seal with scissors and
adjust the Seal Time Up (+) in one second increments and try the test process again.
2. The Vacuum Sealer is only intended to be used with vacuum sealing bags. For best
results, Cabela’s Vacuum Bags should be used. DO NOT USE HOUSEHOLD BAGS
with the Vacuum Sealer.
3. The seal of the bag may be incomplete. If the seal has a crease in it, or if a liquid
or powder has been trapped between the layers of the bag, the layers may not have
been welded together properly. Cut the seal off and wipe the inside of the bag clean.
Then, try to vacuum seal the package again. When sealing a moist or powdery food,
insert a paper towel into the bag above the food before vacuum packaging. The
paper towel will prevent the food from interfering with the seal. See the “Vacuum
Packaging Guidelines” in this booklet for helpful tips.
4. If none of the above steps remedy the situation, contact Customer Service.
WARNING! Before cleaning, assembling or disassembling the
Vacuum Sealer, make sure the Vacuum Sealer is OFF and the PLUG IS
