Welcome to FoodSaver® GameSaver

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. 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 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.

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 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 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.

When you are vacuum packaging items with sharp edges (foods with bones, etc.), protect bag from punctures by wrapping item in soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel. You may want to use a

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.
