FoodSaver Fresh Zipper Bag Tips
™
• Avoid overfilling; always leave space between the bag contents
and the zipper. This allows room for the bag material to seal
tightly against the food.
• Make sure to slide your fingers across the zipper to close the bag
before placing it onto the appliance.
• When you are vacuum packaging items with sharp edges (dry
spaghetti, silverware, etc.), protect the bag from punctures by
™
wrapping items in soft cushioning material, such as paper towel.
