Im portant Tips
1. Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for
the heat process of canning. Perishables
still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
2. For best results, use FoodSaver
TM Bags and
Canisters.
3. During the vacuum packaging process,
small amounts of liquids, crumbs or
food particles can be inadvertently
pulled into the Vacuum Channel,
clogging the pump and damaging your
appliance. To prevent this, follow
these tips:
a. For moist and juicy foods such as raw
meats:Freeze first and avoid overfilling
bags. You can also place a folded paper
towel inside top of bag, but below seal
area before vacuum packaging.
b. For soups, sauces and liquids: F reeze
first and avoid overfilling bags. Or,
use a canister and then place in
refrigerator.
c. For powdery or fine?grained foods:
Avoid
over filling bags or use a canister. You
can also place a coffee filter or paper
towel on top of the food before
vacuum packaging.
d. If your appliance features a Drip
Tray, empty it after each use.
4. To avoid overfilling, always leave at least
7.5 cm of bag material between bag
contents and top of bag. Then leave at
least additional 2.5 cm of bag material
for each time you plan to reuse bag.
5. Do not create your own side seams for a
FoodSaver Bag. These bags are
TM
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 packag ing bulky items, gently
stretch bag flat along Sealing Strip before
you close lid.
7. If you are unsure your bag was sealed
properly, simply reseal bag about 0.5 cm
above first seal.
8. When you are vacuum packaging 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 canister instead of a bag.
9. When using a canister, remember to leave
2.5 cm of space at top.
10. Pre?freeze fruits and blanch vegetables
before vacuum packaging for best results.
