Important Tips

When Vacuum Packaging:

1.Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration.

2.Use ONLY bags, rolls and canisters manufactured by FoodSaver®.

3.Do not allow the Vacuum Channel to fill up with liquids. This will render the machine unusable. To prevent it, avoid overfilling the bags and freeze liquids first.

4.You 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.

5.Do not attempt to create your own side seals 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.

6.Always make sure you leave at least 2.5cm of extra bag material for each time you plan to reuse the bag. To avoid possible illness, do not reuse bags after storing meats, fish or greasy foods.

7.If you are not sure whether you have achieved a complete seal, simply seal the bag again about 1cm above the first seal.

8.Bulky items sometimes make it difficult to achieve a smooth sealing surface. Gently stretch the bag flat along the Sealing Strip before closing the lid.

9.When 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 to avoid any possibility of puncturing a bag.

10.Avoid drawing powdery or fine-grained products such as, flour, sugar and coffee grinds into the appliance. This will inhibit the vacuuming and sealing process and may clog the unit, preventing it from drawing a good vacuum. To prevent this from occurring, avoid overfilling the bags.

11.If using the Foodsaver® appliance to re- seal packets, ensure that these have been previously commercially heat sealed.

Do not use the sealing strip to re-seal conventional plastic wrap, sandwich bags and plastic bags as they may melt over the sealing strip.
