INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
North American models with polarized plugs:
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or
if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that
outlet.
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord or detachable
power-supply cord (shorter than 4 ½ feet or
1.4m) is provided on some models to reduce
risks resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
detachable power-supply cords or extension
cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use. Models provided with
cords longer than 4 ½ feet (1.4m), or if a long
detachable power-supply cord or extension
cord is used on short-cord models:
a. The marked electrical rating of the
detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance;
b. When the product is of the grounded
type, the extension cord shall be a
grounding type 3-wire cord; and
Service: 1.877.804.5383
c. The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter top
or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
Important Tips
1. For best results, use only with FoodSaver Fresh
®
Containers and Zipper Bags.
2. During the vacuum packaging process, small
amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be
inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Head. Clean
the reservoir after each use.
3. Avoid overfilling; always leave at least 4 inches
(10.16 centimeters) of bag material between bag
contents and zipper of bag. This allows room for
the bag material to cinch tightly against the food.
4. Make sure to slide fingers across zipper to close
bag before placing it in the unit.
5. 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.
6. When using Fresh Containers, remember to leave
one inch of space at top.
