Précis d’emploi
General 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 ® Bags and canisters.
3.During the vacuum packaging process, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently pulled into Vacuum Channel (E), 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.

d.If your appliance features a Drip Tray (F), 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 manufactured with a special side seam, which is sealed all the way to the outer edge.

6.To prevent wrinkles in seal when vacuum packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat along Sealing Strip (G) before you close lid.

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.
9.When using accessories, remember to leave 2.5 cm of space at top of canister or container.
