Important Tips
Important Tips When Vacuum Packaging:
1Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration.
2Use ONLY bags and rolls manufactured by FoodSaver.
3Do not allow the Vacuum Channel to fill up with liquids. This will render the appliance unusable. To prevent it, avoid overfilling the bags and freeze liquids first.
4You can prevent liquids from being drawn into the appliance by placing a folded paper towel at the top of the bag, but below the seal area, before vacuum packaging.
5Do not attempt to create your own side seams for a FoodSaver Bag. These bags are manufactured with special side seams which are sealed all the way to the outer edge. Creating your own side seams can actually leave air channels exposed which will cause leakage and prevent a vacuum from being formed.
6Always make sure you leave at least one extra inch of bag material for each time you plan to reuse the bag.
7If you are not sure whether you have achieved a complete seal, simply seal the bag again about 1⁄4 inch above the first seal.
8Bulky items sometimes make it difficult to achieve a smooth sealing surface. Gently stretch the bag flat along the Sealing Strip before closing the lid.
9When packaging products with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.), protect the bag from punctures by wrapping the products in a cushioning material, such as paper towels, styrofoam, tissue, etc. Products can also be vacuum packaged in canisters or Mason jars to avoid any possibility of puncturing a bag.
