Vacuum Sealing System

Welcome to FoodSaver®

Im p o r t a n t Sa f e g u a r d S & tI p S

Important Safeguards

For your own safety, always follow these basic

precautions when using a FoodSaver® appliance:

1. Read the User Manual carefully for operating

instructions. Read all instructions in this manual

before use.

2. Do not use appliance on wet or hot surfaces, or

near a heat source.

3. To protect against electric shock, do not

immerse any part of appliance, power cord or

plug in water or other liquid. Unplug from outlet

when not in use and before cleaning.

4. To disconnect, unplug power cord from electrical

outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on cord.

5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged

power cord or plug. Do not operate appliance

if it malfunctions or is in any way damaged. For

details, contact Consumer Services at number

listed below.

6. Use appliance only for its intended use.

7. Closely supervise children when using any

electrical appliance. Do not allow appliance to

be used as a toy.

8. 120v Appliances Only: The FoodSaver®

appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is

wider than the other). To reduce risk of electrical

shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized

outlet only one way. If plug does not fit fully in

the outlet, reverse plug. If it still does not fit,

contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify

plug in any way.

9. Caution: Do not use extension cord. Appliance

power cord should not drape over counter or

tabletop where cord can be tripped over or

pulled on unintentionally, especially by children.

10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric

burner, or heated oven. Extreme caution must

be used when moving products containing hot

liquids.

11. Extreme caution must be used when sealing

bags with hot liquids.

12. Wait 20 seconds between seals to allow

appliance to cool.

13. CAUTION: Do not use outdoors.

For Household Use Only

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Important 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 only with FoodSaver® Bags,

Containers and Accessories.

3. During the vacuum packaging process, small

amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can

be inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Channel.

Empty the Drip Tray after each use.

4. Avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches

of bag material between bag contents and top

of bag. This allows room for the bag material

to cinch tightly against the food and prevents

the bag from pulling out of the vacuum channel

during the sealing process. Then leave at least

one additional inch of bag material for each time

you plan to reuse bag.

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 the seal when vacuum

packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat

along Sealing Strip before you close lid.

7.

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.

8. When using accessories, remember to leave one

inch of space at top of canister or container.

9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before

vacuum packaging for best results. See

guidelines for Vacuum Packaging Section.
