How to Make a Custom-Made Bag with FoodSaver Rolls

When using FoodSaver Rolls you first need to make a bag, then vacuum package your food in the bag. (If you are using ready- made FoodSaver Bags, go to page 8.)

1Place the Vac 550 on a flat, dry surface and plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.

2Lay the item(s) you want to vacuum package near the FoodSaver Roll so you can see where to cut the bag material. Leave at least 3 extra inches at one end of the bag and more if you want to reseal or reuse the bag. (One inch per reseal.)

3

Cut the FoodSaver Roll to the

 

desired length, making sure you

 

cut straight. The marks on the side

 

of the roll are at 3" intervals and

 

will assist you in cutting straight.

4Open the lid of the Vac 550. If the lid is locked, release locks by pressing down firmly on the stars.

5

Place one end of the

 

bag on the sealing strip.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the end does not go over the black foam rubber ring, or into the vacuum channel.

6Close the lid. Lock the lid by pressing in the locks on both sides.

(You may need to press down lightly on the stars while pressing in the locks.)

7Press and hold down the On button. The light will go on as the

Vac 550 seals the bag. Wait until

the sound stops and the light turns off before releasing the lid.

8The locks on the sides will release

automatically. Lift up the lid and remove the bag. You now have a custom-sized FoodSaver Bag.

You are now ready to vacuum package. Just follow the instructions on page 8.

NOTE: Let the Vac 550 cool down for at least 20 seconds before using it again.
