Tips on Sealing a Bag Make sure you’ve placed the bag in the proper place. When making a bag from a roll, make sure end of cut piece is on Sealing Strip (C), not over rubber gasket (D) or in Vacuum Channel (B). Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into the Vacuum Channel or trapped in the seal. Either pre-freeze moist foods such as raw meat for 1-2 hours before vacuum packaging, or place a folded paper towel between food and end of bag to absorb excess liquids. Just be sure to leave at least 3 inches between paper towel and end of bag so that bag seals properly with paper towel inside. Make sure you give appliance time to cool down. Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very heavy usage, appliance will shut off automatically to prevent overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off. Tips on Removing Air from a Bag Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing Strip. Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag along Sealing Strip (C) before closing lid and vacuum packaging. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag, simply cut bag open and vacuum package again. If motor runs for more than 30 seconds without stopping, you may need to adjust bag and try again. If you are making the initial seal on a piece of bag material with two open ends, make sure bag is placed on Sealing Strip, not on rubber gasket (D). If you are vacuum packaging with a bag, make sure open end is placed down inside Vacuum Channel. Tips Make sure you’ve placed the bag in the proper place. When vacuuming and sealing a bag, make sure open end of bag is inside Vacuum Channel (B). Tips for Successful Vacuum Packaging (continued) General 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 FoodSaver Bags and Rolls. 3. During the vacuum packaging process, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently pulled into Vacuum Channel, clogging the pump and damaging your appliance. To prevent this, follow these tips: a. For moist and juicy foods such as raw meats: Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. You can also place a folded paper towel inside top of bag, but below seal area, before vacuum packaging. b. For soups, sauces and liquids: Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. c. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid overfilling bags. You can also place a coffee filter or paper towel inside before vacuum packaging. 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 seal when vacuum packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat along Sealing Strip before you close lid. 7. If you are unsure your bag was sealed properly, simply reseal bag about 1⁄4 inch above first seal. 8. 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. 9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum packaging for best results. See pages 2-3 of FoodSaver Reference Guide for more information. 4. To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches of bag material between bag contents and top of bag. Then leave at least one additional inch of bag material for each time you plan to reuse bag. Copyright © 2004 Tilia, Inc. All rights reserved.
