Troubleshooting
Container not sealing or losing vacuum
Ensure the lid is properly seated on the container. Check the silicone seal on the lid for any debris or damage. Clean the seal and try again. If the issue persists, the seal may need replacement.
Unit not charging
Verify that the USB cable is securely connected to both the container and a working USB power source. Try a different USB cable or power adapter to rule out cable or adapter issues.
LED display not working
Ensure the unit is charged. If the display remains off after charging, contact customer support.
UV lamp not activating
