Hello, Thanks for reaching out to us. We will be more than happy to answer your question! We recommend storing it flat with a closed lid and a latch pushed into the store (middle) position. Always leave the lid latch in the store position when not in use. Never store the lid in the operate position, as gaskets may become compressed and the unit will not vacuum bag. We hope this information proves helpful, and in case of further inquiries, do not hesitate to contact us directly via https://www.foodsaver.com/support/contact-us or through LiveChat. We&rsquo;re available Monday&ndash;Friday, 9 a.m.&ndash;5 p.m. Eastern Time. Thank You! FoodSaver Consumer Care

I have a FoodSaver model V2480. I also have many of your canisters that I used. The plastic port that connects the machine to the canister has cracked and now I can no longer vacuum any air, only seal. Does your new machine work with your old canisters?
