Important Safeguards & Tips
For Household Use Only
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Important 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 only with FoodSaver
Rolls, Containers and Accessories.
3. During the vacuum packaging 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 3 inches
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 at least
one additional inch 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 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
packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat
while inserting bag into Vacuum Channel and
before latching the unit shut.
7. 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 or Mason jar instead of a bag.

8. When using accessories, remember to leave one
inch of space at top of canister or container.
9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before
vacuum packaging for best results. See
Guidelines for Vacuum Packaging.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). As a safety feature,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this plug safety feature.
