FoodSaver® Fresh Containers

Vacuum Sealed Containers protect
your food from air and moisture loss,
the enemies of fresh food. Vacuum
sealing locks air out and seals
freshness in, preserving the taste
and nutritional value of stored foods.

Your FoodSaver® Fresh Vacuum
Sealed Containers let you enjoy the
convenience and benets of storing
pre-made meals, preserving
leftovers, controlling portion sizes
and simplifying reheating. They are
great for storing foods like meats,
vegetables, fruits and or other items
in your refrigerator or pantry.

Please Note:
Your FoodSaver® Fresh Vacuum
Sealed Containers are intended for
storing and reheating fully cooked
foods, soups, sauces and more!
Tomato-based sauces contain a
pigment called lycopene, which is
not water-soluble and causes stains
to porous materials, including most
plastics. This only affects the
appearance of the product and not
the performance.

Storage System.

Care

and Cleaning of your FoodSaver® Fresh Containers

The Container Base and Lid can be safely washed in the top rack of the
dishwasher. You can also wash both pieces in warm, soapy water; rinse well
and dry thoroughly.

The Vacuum Valve Cover and Gasket can be washed in warm, soapy water;
rinse well and dry thoroughly.

Tips

1. Make sure your Vacuum Food
Sealer and Container are sitting
on a at, dry surface.

2. Place the item you wish to seal
inside the Container. Do not
overll the container base with
food or liquid pass the max line.

3. Make sure there are no crumbs,
water or food debris on the
Container Lid, Gasket and or
Vacuum Valve, as gaps or an
improper seal will prevent air
from being removed.

4. Store the vacuum sealed
Container in an upright position.

5. Easily microwave foods in your
FoodSaver® Fresh Containers.
Release the Vacuum Valve and
remove the lid prior to
microwaving. Do not microwave
more than 5 minutes.

6. Some deformation of the
Container base may occur during
vacuuming. This is normal and
does not effect performance.

7. Do not vacuum package soft
cheese, mushrooms, onions or
garlic.

8. Do not heat an empty container in
the microwave.

9. Cruciferous vegetables such as
broccoli, cauliower, cabbage and
Brussels sprouts give off gases
when they are stored. Vegetables
should be blanched before
vacuum packaging. This process
stops the enzyme action that
could lead to loss of avor, color
and texture.

CAUTION:
Vacuum packaging is NOT a
substitute for refrigeration or
freezing. Any perishable foods that
require refrigeration must still be
refrigerated or frozen after vacuum
packaging.
