Tips On Sealing A Bag - FoodSaver V2860 Reference Manual

Tips on Sealing a Bag

Make sure appliance lid is securely latched.
When making a bag from a roll, place bag material on
Sealing Strip (L), close lid and make sure to use the
Latch (E) to lock lid. Then press Seal Button (9).
Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into
the Vacuum Channel (J) or trapped in the seal. Either
pre-freeze moist food such as raw meat for 1-2 hours
before vacuum packaging, or place a folded paper towel
between food and end of bag to absorb excess liquids.
Just be sure to leave at least 7.5 cm between paper towel
and end of bag so that bag seals properly with paper
towel inside.
Tips on Removing Air from a Bag
Make sure appliance lid is securely latched.
When vacuuming and sealing a bag, make sure the Latch
(E) is in the locked position.
Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing Strip (L).
Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow air to come
back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag along Sealing
Strip before closing lid and vacuum packaging. If you
find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply cut bag open and
vacuum package again.
Tips on Storage
To utilize flip-up storage:
1. Close the lid.
2. Turn Latch (E) halfway to secure for storage (the
halfway position locks appliance lid for storage without
compressing the foam gasket and creating unnecessary
wear and tear).

Make sure appliance has time to cool down.
Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very
heavy usage, appliance will not operate to prevent
overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow
appliance to cool off.
If motor runs for more than 30 seconds without stopping,
consider the following: If vacuum packaging with a
bag, make sure open end is placed down inside Vacuum
Channel (J) and make sure Accessory Hose (A) is not
attached. If vacuum packaging with a canister, check
Accessory Hose in appliance lid and canister to ensure a
tight fit.
3. Push and hold Release Button (C) on the right side of
appliance.
4. Raise the front of appliance until it's in the upright
position and it clicks.
5. Let go of the Release Button.
6. When ready to use again, press Release Button and
lower front of appliance.
