Tips on Vacuum Sealing with Accessories

How to prepare FoodSaver
Vacuum packaging
Accessories include FoodSavor Vacuum Packaging
Canisters, Containers and Bottle Stoppers.
1. Always leave at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of space between
the contents and the rim.
2. Wipe rim of canister, container or bottle to ensure it is
clean and dry.

Marinating with your FoodSaver

The FoodSaver Quick Marinator Canister is the perfect
®
FoodSaver Accessory for marinating foods. Foods will
®
marinate in minutes when vacuum sealed because the
vacuum process opens the pores of the food and absorbs
the marinade more quickly.
Important Note:
Use the FoodSaver
Canister with clear lid and large white knob. To marinate,
make sure the knob on the accessory lid is set to
Vacuum/Canister position.
1. Prepare enough of your favourite marinade to fully
cover food inside a marinating canister. Always leave
at least 2.5 cm (1-inch) of space between the contents
and the top of the rim.
2. Make sure the rubber gasket underneath the lids as
well as the rim of the marinating canister is free from
food materials.
3. Make sure the Accessory Hose is securely inserted into
the port on the FoodSaver
4. Make sure the knob on the accessory lid is set to
Vacuum/Canister.
5. Make sure lid is firmly attached to marinator base.
6. Press the Vacuum & Seal button on the control panel.

How to Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into
the Drip Tray or getting trapped in the seal:
Either pre-freeze moist food such as raw meat for 1-2
hours before vacuum sealing, or place a folded paper towel
between food and the end of the bag to absorb excess
liquid. Be sure to leave at least 8 cm (3 inches) between the
paper towel and the end of the bag so that the bag seals
properly with the paper towel inside and not positioned in
the seal area.
Make sure appliance has time to cool down.
Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very
heavy usage, the appliance will stop operating to prevent
overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow the
appliance to cool down.
3. Place lid on canister or container, or place stopper in
bottle.
4. For accessories with a large knob on lid, turn knob
to Vacuum. Vacuum package using the instructions
below. When the vacuum process is complete, turn the
knob to Closed before removing the Accessory Hose.
5. For Accessories without a large knob on the lid,
vacuum package using instructions below.

refrigerate your marinated food.
