How to Vacuum Package Using FoodSaver Bulk

Storage Canisters and Square Canisters

Bulk Storage Canisters are an excellent way to store food in the refrigerator or pantry. The Square Canister is great for marinating since vacuum packaging opens the pores of food and cuts marinating time down to 20 minutes. Both styles of canisters operate the same way.

1Set the Sealing Adjustment Switch to the “Accessory” position.

2Place the item(s) to be vacuum packaged inside the canister. Leave at least one inch between the contents and the rim of the canister.

3Turn the knob on the lid so the arrow points to “Vacuum.”

4Place lid on top of Bulk or Square Canister.

5Insert one end of the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port on the appliance. Insert the other end of the Accessory Hose into the hole on the top of the canister lid. Twist the gray hose fitting while inserting to ensure a tight fit.

6Vacuum package as per instructions on page 11, steps 6 and 7.

7Remove the Accessory Hose from the lid by gently twisting the gray hose fitting and pulling up.

8Turn the knob on the lid so the arrow points to “Closed.”

IMPORTANT: Remember to remove the Accessory Hose from the Accessory Port on the appliance before you vacuum package in FoodSaver Bags. Remove the hose by gently twisting the gray fitting while pulling it out. Never yank or tug the hose as this may damage both the hose and the fitting.

How to Open FoodSaver Bulk Storage or Square Canisters

To open a FoodSaver Bulk Storage Canister or Square Canister, turn the knob on the canister lid so the arrow points

to “Open.” This will release the vacuum and allow the lid to be removed.

NOTE: Do NOT attempt to vacuum package any contents that are warmer than room temperature since the vacuum may cause the contents to bubble out of the canister.
