Remove Air With Foodsaver; Vacuum Seal With Foodsaver Accessories - FoodSaver GameSaver Big Game Owner's Manual

How to...

3. Remove Air with FoodSaver

When vacuum packaging make sure open end of bag is inside Drip Tray with curl down. Also make sure roll
itself is tucked back into Roll Storage Compartment or it could prevent appliance from operating properly.
Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing Strip before closing lid and vacuum packaging. Wrinkles in
seal may cause leakage and allow air to come back into bag. 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, you may need to adjust bag and try again.
If you are making initial seal on a piece of bag material with two open ends, make sure you have pressed
the Seal and not Vac/Seal Button. If you are vacuum packaging with a bag, make sure open end is placed
down inside Vacuum Channel and make sure Accessory Hose is not attached. Also check that gasket
is clean and free of debris. If you are vacuum packaging with an accessory, check Accessory Hose in
appliance lid and in accessory to ensure a tight fit.
