How to Vacuum Package Using FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers
FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers are the best way to keep wine, oils and
non-carbonated bottled liquids fresh longer. You will keep their
delicate taste from going stale by not exposing the liquids to air.
FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers are not to be used with plastic bottles.
Also, do not use with any carbonated or sparkling beverages.
Carbonation happens under pressure. A vacuum removes this
pressure, releasing the bubbles and causing the beverages to
become flat.
Insert the Bottle Stopper into the neck of the bottle. Leave at
1
least one inch between the contents and the bottom of the
Bottle Stopper.
Insert one end of the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port on
2
the appliance. Insert the other end of the Accessory Hose into the
hole on the top of the Bottle Stopper. Twist the gray hose fitting
while inserting to ensure a tight fit.

page 10, steps 5-7.
IMPORTANT: Remember to remove the Accessory Hose from the
Accessory Port on the appliance before you vacuum package in
FoodSaver Bags. Remove the hose by gently twisting the gray
fitting while pulling it out. Never yank or tug the hose as this
may damage both the hose and the fitting.
How to Remove the FoodSaver Bottle Stopper
To remove the FoodSaver Bottle Stopper, simply twist and
