Important Safeguards
Important Tips
1. Vacuum sealing 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
Accessories.
3. During the vacuum sealing 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 7.5cm 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 an additional 2.5cm
of bag material for each time you plan to reuse bag.
5. Do not create your own side seams for a FoodSaver
manufactured with a special side seam, which is sealed all the way to the
outer edge.
6. To prevent wrinkles in the seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently
stretch bag flat while inserting bag into Vacuum Channel and continue to
hold bag until vacuum pump starts.
7. When you are vacuum sealing items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti,
silverware, etc.), protect bag from punctures by wrapping item in soft
cushioning material, such as a paper towel. You may want to use a
FoodSaver container instead of a bag.
8. When using accessories, remember to leave 2.5cm of space at top of the
container.
9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for best
results.
10. Wait 20 seconds between seals to allow appliance to cool.
11. Never store lid in OPERATE position as gaskets may become compressed.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a grounding type cord and plug
that has a third grounding pin (3-prong plug). The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet or if in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug
in any way.
