Tips

Tips for Successful Vacuum Packaging

For more usage tips and safety information, please refer to the FoodSaver®Reference Guide.

Tips on Sealing a Bag

Make sure you’ve securely latched the appliance lid.

When making a bag from a roll, place bag material
on Sealing Strip

(I), close lid and make sure to use

the Latch

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

Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into
the Vacuum Channel 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 7.5 cm between
paper towel and end of bag so that bag seals properly
with paper towel inside.

Make sure you give appliance 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 you’ve securely latched the appliance lid.

When vacuuming and sealing a bag or canister, 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

(I) 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 without
stopping, consider the following: You may need to

adjust bag and try again. If you are making the
initial seal on a piece of bag material with two open
ends, make sure bag is placed on Sealing Strip.
If you are vacuum packaging with a bag, make sure
open end is placed down inside Vacuum Channel

(G) and make sure Accessory Hose (A) is not

attached. If you are vacuum packaging with a
canister, check Accessory Hose in appliance lid
and canister 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 and

Canisters.

3. During the vacuum packaging process, small

amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can
be inadvertently pulled into Vacuum Channel

(G),

clogging the pump and damaging your appliance.
To prevent this, follow these tips:

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

Pre-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 and
store in the 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 (F),

empty after each use.

4. To a void overfilling, always leave at least 7.5 cm of

bag material between bag contents and top of
bag. Then leave at least additional 2.5 cm 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

(I) before you close lid.

7. If you are unsure your bag was sealed properly,
simply reseal bag about 0.5 cm 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.

9. When using accessories, remember to leave 2.5 cm
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

(D) is in the locked position.

12.Always store appliance with the Easy-lock Latch
(D) in the unlocked position.

13.

CAUTION: THIS SEALER IS NOT FOR

COMMERCIAL USE. IF SEALING MORE THAN
30 BAGS OR CANISTERS IN A ROW, WAIT AT
LEAST 25 MINUTES BEFORE CONTINUING TO
USE YOUR VACUUM FOOD SEALER.
