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, 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 4 inches (10.16 centimeters) 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 continue to hold bag until vacuum pump starts.

7.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. You may want to use a canister or Mason jar instead of a bag.

8.When using accessories, remember to leave one inch of space at top of canister or container.

9.Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum packaging for best results. See “Guidelines for Vacuum Packaging” section.
