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. Be sure to leave at least 

3 inches between paper towel and end of  the bag so
that bag seals properly with paper towel inside. 

When vacuum packaging, make sure open end

of  the bag is inside Vacuum Channel (L). Also make
sure the roll itself  is tucked back into Roll Storage
Compartment (O) or it could  prevent  appliance
from operating properly.

Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow

air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in bag
along Sealing Strip (P) before closing lid and vacuum
packaging. If  you find wrinkles after sealing bag,
 simply cut bag open and  vacuum package again. 

you may need to adjust bag and try

again. If  you are making initial seal on a piece of  bag
material with two open ends, make sure end of  bag
is placed on Sealing Strip, not in the Vacuum
Channel (L). If  you are vacuum packaging with a bag,
make sure open end is placed down inside Vacuum
Channel and make sure Accessory Hose (F) is not
attached. If  you are vacuum packaging with an
 accessory, check Accessory Hose in appliance lid and
in accessory to ensure a tight fit. Make sure Seal
Level (E) is set to appropriate position. 

Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for the
heat process of  canning. Perishables still need to
be refrigerated or frozen. 

For best results, use FoodSaver

Bags, Canisters

and Accessories.

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:

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. 

For soups, sauces and liquids: Freeze first and
avoid overfilling bags. Or, use a canister in
refrigerator.

For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid 
overfilling bags or use a canister. You can also
place a coffee filter or paper towel inside
before vacuum packaging. 

If  your appliance features a Drip Tray (M),
empty and clean after each use.

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.

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.

To prevent wrinkles in seal when vacuum 
packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat 
along Sealing Strip before you close lid.

If  you are unsure your bag was sealed properly,
simply reseal bag about 

1

⁄

4

inch above first seal.

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.

When using accessories, remember to leave one
inch of  space at top of  canister or container.

Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before 

vacuum packaging for best results. See pages 2-3
of  FoodSaver

Reference Guide for more 

information.

CAUTION: THIS SEALER IS NOT FOR 

COMMERCIAL USE. IF SEALING MORE THAN
30 BAGS OR CANISTERS IN A ROW, WAIT AT
LEAST 25 MINUTES BEFORE CONTINUING TO
USE YOUR VACUUM FOOD SEALER.
