Important Safeguards & Tips
Welcome to FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealing System
Important Safeguards
For your own safety, always follow these basic
precautions when using a FoodSaver
1. Read the User Manual carefully for operating
instructions. Read all instructions in this
manual before use.
2. Do not use appliance on wet or hot surfaces,
or near a heat source.
3.
Caution: To protect against electric shock, do not
immerse any part of appliance, power cord or plug in
water or other liquid. Unplug from outlet when not in
use and before cleaning.
4. To disconnect, unplug power cord from electrical
outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on cord.
5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged power cord
or plug. Do not operate appliance if it malfunctions
or is in any way damaged. For details, contact
Consumer Services at number listed below.
6. Use appliance only for its intended use.
7. Closely supervise children when using any electrical
appliance. Do not allow appliance to be used as a toy.
8. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner,
or heated oven. Extreme caution must be used when
moving products containing hot liquids.

Important Tips
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 only with FoodSaver
Containers and Zipper Bags.
3. During the vacuum packaging process, small
amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be
inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Head. Clean
the reservoir after each use.
4. Avoid overfilling; always leave at least 4 inches
(10.16 centimeters) of bag material between bag
contents and zipper of bag. This allows room for
the bag material to cinch tightly against the food.
5. Make sure to slide fingers across zipper to close
bag before placing it in the unit.
6. 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.
7. When using Fresh Containers, remember to leave
one inch of space at top.
8. 120v Appliances Only: The FoodSaver
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce risk of electrical shock, this plug
is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not modify plug in any way.
9.
Caution:
A short power cord is provided to reduce
risks from entanglement or tripping over a longer
cord. An extension cord may be used when
marked electrical rating is no less than electrical
rating of this appliance. All cords should not drape
over counter or tabletop where cords can be
tripped over or pulled on unintentionally, especially
by children.
