Tips on Sealing a Bag

Make sure appliance lid is securely latched.

When making a bag from a roll, place bag material

on Sealing Strip

(K), close lid and make sure to use

the Latch

(D) to lock lid.Then press Seal Button (T).

Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled

into the Vacuum Channel (I) or trapped in the

seal. Either pre-freeze moist food such as raw meat

for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging, or place a

folded paper towel between food and end of bag to

absorb excess liquids. Just be sure to leave at least 3

inches between paper towel and end of bag so that

bag seals properly with paper towel inside.

Make sure appliance has time to cool down.

Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very

heavy usage, appliance will not operate to prevent

overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow

appliance to cool off.

Tips on Removing Air from a Bag

Make sure appliance lid is securely latched.

When vacuuming and sealing a bag, make sure the

Latch

(D) is in the locked position.

Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing

Strip.Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow

air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag

along Sealing Strip

(K) before closing lid and vacuum

packaging. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply

cut bag open and vacuum package again.

If motor runs for more than 30 seconds with-

out stopping, consider the following: If you are

vacuum packaging with a bag, make sure open end is

placed down inside Vacuum Channel

(I) and make

sure Accessory Hose

(A) is not attached. If vacuum

packaging with an accessory, check Accessory Hose

in appliance lid and in accessory to ensure a tight fit.

Tips on Storage

Always store appliance with the Latch (D) in

the unlocked position.

General Tips

Tips for Successful Vacuum Packaging

(continued)

1. Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for the

heat process of canning. Perishables still need to

be refrigerated or frozen.

2. For best results, use FoodSaver

Bags, Canisters

and Accessories.

3. During the vacuum packaging process, small

amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can

be inadvertently pulled into Vacuum Channel

(I),

clogging the pump and damaging your appliance.

To prevent this, follow these tips:

a. For moist and juicy foods such as raw meats:

Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags.You can

also place a folded paper towel inside top of bag,

but below seal area, before vacuum packaging.

b. For soups, sauces and liquids: Freeze first and

avoid overfilling bags. Or, use a canister in

refrigerator.

c. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid

overfilling bags or use a canister.You can also

place a coffee filter or paper towel inside

before vacuum packaging.

d. If your appliance features a drip tray (H),

empty after each use.

4. To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches

of bag material between bag contents and top of

bag.Then leave at least one additional inch of bag

material for each time you plan to reuse bag.

5. Do not create your own side seams for a

FoodSaver

Bag.These bags are manufactured

with a special side seam, which is sealed all the

way to the outer edge.

6. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum

packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat

along Sealing Strip

(K) before you close lid.

7. If you are unsure your bag was sealed properly,

simply reseal bag about

⁄

inch above first seal.

8. When you are vacuum packaging items with

sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.),

protect bag from punctures by wrapping item in

soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel.

You may want to use a canister or Mason jar

instead of a bag.

9. When using accessories, remember to leave one

inch of space at top of canister or container, and

make sure to lock Latch

(D) before vacuuming.

Unlock the Latch when finished.

10.Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before

vacuum packaging for best results. See pages

2-3 of FoodSaver

Reference Guide for more

information.

11.If appliance does not function, check to make

sure the Latch is in the locked position.

12.Always store appliance with the Latch (D) in the

unlocked position.
