How to Vacuum Package Using FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers

FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers are the best way to keep wine, oils, and non-carbonated bottled liquids fresh longer. You will keep their delicate taste from going stale by not exposing the liquids to air.

FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers are not to be used with plastic bottles. Also, do not use with any carbonated or sparkling beverages. Carbonation happens under pressure. A vacuum removes this pressure, releasing the bubbles and causing the beverages to become flat.

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

2Insert the bottle stopper into the neck of the bottle. Leave at least one inch between the contents and the bottom of the bottle stopper.

3	Insert one end of the accessory
	hose into the accessory port on
	the Vac 550.
4	Insert the other end of the accessory
	hose into the hole on the top of the
	bottle stopper.
