How To Vacuum Package Using FoodSaver Universal Lids

The Universal Lid is ideal for keeping foods, such as sauces, peanuts and coffee, fresh longer in their original containers. These lids work with metal cans, thick glass jars and rigid plastic containers. Remember, perishable goods should still be refrigerated. Also, if you plan to store food in cans for more than a day, it is advisable to transfer food into a plastic or glass container to prevent “off-flavor” from developing from the can.

CAUTION: FoodSaver Universal Lids are not to be used with thin glass, crystal, plastic or aluminum containers. The force exerted by the FoodSaver vacuum packaging system is very powerful and could implode a thin glass or a non-rigid container.

1Set the Sealing Adjustment Switch to the “Accessory” position.

2Turn the knob on the lid so the arrow points to “Vacuum.”

3Place lid on top of the open container. Leave at least one inch between the contents and the rim of the container.

4Insert one end of the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port on the appliance. Insert the other end of the Accessory Hose into the hole on the top of the Universal Lid. Twist the gray hose fitting while inserting to ensure a tight fit.

5With one hand press down on the center of the lid of the appliance to activate the vacuum. With the other hand, press down on the Universal Lid until the vacuum takes hold (this may take 3-5 seconds).

6Once the vacuum takes hold on the container, both hands can be released.

7Vacuum package as per instructions on page 11, steps 6 and 7.

8Remove the Accessory Hose from the lid by gently twisting the gray hose fitting and pulling up.

9Turn the knob on the lid so the arrow points to “Closed.”

Note: Pressing down on the lid of the appliance with one hand may require additional effort.

IMPORTANT: Remember to remove the Accessory Hose from the Accessory Port on the appliance before you vacuum package in FoodSaver Bags. Remove the hose by gently twisting the gray fitting while pulling it out. Never yank or tug the hose as this may damage both the hose and the fitting.

How to Open the FoodSaver Universal Lid

To open a FoodSaver Universal Lid, turn the knob so the arrow points to “Open.” This will release the vacuum and allow the lid to be removed.
