Important Tips - FoodSaver VS1185 Reference Manual

IMPORTANT
1. Vacuum packaging is NOT a
substitute for the heat process of
preserving. Perishables still need to
be refrigerated.
2. For best results, use only with
FoodSaver
Bags and Preserve and Marinate
Containers*.
3. When vacuum packaging zipper
bags, small amounts of liquids,
crumbs or food particles can be
inadvertently pulled into the Valve,
creating a possible air leak. To
prevent this, follow these tips:
a. For soups, sauces and liquids:
use a container and then place in
refrigerator. Sealing liquid in Zipper
Bags is NOT recommended.
b. For powdery or fine-grained foods:
Avoid overfilling bags or use a
container. You can also place a
coffee filter or paper towel on top of
the food beneath valve before
vacuum packaging.
c. Ensure the zipper is closed
securely and no food debris
is trapped in the zipper. Food
trapped in the zipper can create a
leak which may cause the bag to
lose vacuum over time.
