This FVS400 Teflon heat strip

You need to ensure that the heat strip is in good condition so that you get the perfect seal after you have vacuumed the bag. Any damage to the heat strip will affect the quality of seal and allow the bag to release its vacuum

To check the FVS400 Teflon heat strip

You must always use a good quality roll film or bag to insure a good vacuum and a perfect seal. To check the seal hold it up to the light, and it should appear clear and of the same width all the way along. If it is not then do another seal beside it and if the interruption in the seal is in the same place then it is most likely a damaged or worn heat strip.
