Important Safeguards & Tips
Welcome to FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealing System
Important Safeguards
For your own safety, always follow these basic precautions when using a FoodSaver® appliance:
1. | Read the User Manual carefully for operating |
| instructions. Read all instructions in this manual |
| before use. |
2. | Do not use appliance on wet surfaces or outdoors. |
3. | To protect against electric shock, do not immerse |
| any part of appliance, power cord or plug in water |
| or other liquid. Unplug from outlet when not in use |
| and before cleaning. |
4. | To disconnect, unplug power cord from electrical |
| outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on cord. |
5. | Do not operate appliance with a damaged |
| power cord or plug. Do not operate appliance |
| if it malfunctions or is in any way damaged. For |
| details, contact Consumer Services at number |
| listed below. |
6. | Use appliance only for its intended use. |
7. | Closely supervise children when using any |
| electrical appliance. Do not allow appliance to be |
| used as a toy. |
8. | Caution: A short power cord is provided to |
| reduce risks from entanglement or tripping over |
| a longer cord. An extension cord may be used |
Important 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 only with FoodSaver® Bags, |
| Rolls, Containers and Accessories. |
3. | During the vacuum packaging process, small |
| amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles |
| can be inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum |
| Channel. Empty the Drip Tray after each use. |
4. | Avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches |
| of bag material between bag contents and top |
| of bag. This allows room for the bag material to |
| cinch tightly against the food and prevents the |
| bag from pulling out of the Vacuum Channel |
| during the sealing process. Then leave at least |
| one additional inch 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 the seal when vacuum |
| packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat |
| while inserting bag into Vacuum Channel and |

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this plug safety feature.
