Fruits
When freezing soft fruits or berries, it is best to
pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours or until solidly
frozen. To freeze fruit in individual servings, first
place on a baking sheet and spread them out so
they are not touching. This prevents them from
freezing together in a block. Once they are
frozen, remove from baking sheet and vacuum
seal fruit in a FoodSaver
™
After they have been vacuum sealed, return them to the
freezer. You can vacuum seal portions for baking or in
your favourite combinations for easy fruit salad all year
round. If storing in the refrigerator, we recommend using a
FoodSaver Canister.

Baked Goods
To vacuum seal soft or airy baked goods, we
recommend using a FoodSaver
they will hold their shape. If using a bag,
pre-freeze for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen.
To save time, make cookie dough, pie shells,
whole pies, or mix dry ingredients in advance
and vacuum seal for later use.
Coffee and Powdery Foods
To prevent food particles from being drawn
into vacuum pump, place a coffee filter or
paper towel at top of bag or canister before
vacuum sealing. You can also place the food

Solution
• The unit has overheated. Wait until the overheat warning light goes out before
M
using.
• Make sure the open end of the bag is inserted into the drip tray.
• Check to make sure both gaskets are fitted properly.
• Check to make sure that at least one end of the bag is sealed.
• Open the unit and check to make sure that there are no foreign objects, dirt or
debris on the upper or lower gaskets.
• Make sure there is enough room at the top of the bag (75 mm) so it will fit into the
drip tray with lid closed and latched.
• Make sure the handheld sealer is not attached.
• Make sure the lid is fully closed (the green band is showing around the latch and
the green power light is on).
• There is too much liquid in the bag. Freeze the bag contents before vacuuming.
• To prevent wrinkles in the seal, gently stretch the bag flat while inserting the bag
into the drip tray and continue to hold bag until vacuum pump starts.
• Create a second seal above the first seal on the bag to ensure a proper seal when
sealing moist foods.
• Make sure the lid is fully closed (the green band is showing around the latch and
the green power light is on).
