Why is my A100 not sucking all the air out of my vacuum sealer bags?Updated 2 years ago

The digital time display on the A100 is for the seal time setting. It indicates how many seconds to apply heat to create the seal. If you are using Avid Armor bags or similar, we suggest no more than a seal time setting of 3.

If you are doing consecutive bags and have a high heat seal setting, you could be prematurely sealing the bag with the pressure from the lid and the warm seal tape. 

To ensure the seal tape doesn't get too hot, we recommend waiting 20 seconds between vacuum cycles.
