IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & TIPS
Important Safeguards
For your own safety, always follow these basic
precautions when using a FoodSaver
®
appliance:
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. 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. 120v Appliances Only: The FoodSaver
®
appliance 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: Do not use extension cord. Appliance
power cord should not drape over counter or
tabletop where cord can be tripped over or
pulled on unintentionally, especially by children.
10. 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.
11. Extreme caution must be used when sealing
bags with hot liquids.
12. Wait 20 seconds between seals to allow
appliance to cool.
13. CAUTION: Do not use outdoors.
For Household Use Only
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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
®
Bags,
Containers and Accessories.
3. During the vacuum packaging process, small
amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can
be inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Channel.
Empty the Drip Tray after each use.
4. Avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches
of bag material between bag contents and top
of bag. This allows room for the bag material
to cinch tightly against the food and prevents
the bag from pulling out of the vacuum channel
during the sealing process. 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 the seal when vacuum
packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat
along Sealing Strip before you close lid.
7.
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.
8. When using accessories, remember to leave one
inch of space at top of canister or container.
9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before
vacuum packaging for best results. See
guidelines for Vacuum Packaging Section.
