Tips for Successful Vacuum Packaging
For more usage tips and safety information, please refer to the FoodSaver Reference Guide or visit our website at www.foodsaver.com.
Sealing a Bag
Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into
the Vacuum Channel or trapped in the seal. Either
Make sure the Seal Control Switch (D) is set to the proper setting.
Make sure you give the appliance time to cool down.
Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very heavy usage, appliance will shut off automatically to prevent overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off.
Removing Air from a Bag
Make sure you’ve placed the bag in the proper
place. When vacuuming packaging, make sure open end of the bag is inside Vacuum Channel (J). Also make sure the roll itself is tucked back into Roll Storage Compartment (M) or it could prevent appliance from operating properly.
Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing
Strip. Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag along Sealing Strip (N) before closing lid and vacuum packaging. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply cut bag open and vacuum package again.
If motor runs for more than 30 seconds without
stopping, you may need to adjust bag and try again. If you are making initial seal on a piece of bag material with two open ends, make sure bag is placed on Sealing Strip, not on rubber gasket (L). If you are vacuum packaging with a bag, make sure open end is placed down inside Vacuum Channel (J) and make sure Accessory Hose (E) is not attached. If you are vacuum packaging with an accessory, check Accessory Hose in appliance lid and in accessory to ensure a tight fit. Make sure Seal Control Switch (D) is set to correct position.
