Important Tips
Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for the
1.
heat process of canning. Perishables still need to
be refrigerated or frozen.
For best results, use FoodSaver Bags and
2. TM
Canisters.
3. During the vacuum packaging process, small
amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can
be inadvertently pulled into the 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
a.
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. Or, use a canister and
then place in refrigerator.
c. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid
over filling bags or use a canister. You can also
place a coffee filter or paper towel on top of
the food before vacuum packaging.
If your appliance features a Drip Tray, empty
d.
it after each use.
4. To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 7.5 cm of
bag material between bag contents and top of bag.
Then leave at least additional 2.5 cm of bag
material for each time you plan to reuse bag.
Do not create your own side seams for a
5.
FoodSaver Bag. These bags are manufactured with
TM
a special side seam, which is sealed all the way to the
outer edge.
6. To prevent wrinkles in the seal when vacuum
packag ing 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 0.5 cm above first seal.
When you are vacuum packaging items with sharp
8.
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 instead of a bag.
When using a canister, remember to leave 2.5 cm
9.
of space at top.
10. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before
vacuum packaging for best results. See pages 4-5
for more information.

Why Vacuum Package?
Exposure to air causes food to lose nutrition and flavour,
and also causes freezer burn and enables many
bacteria, mould and yeast to grow. The FoodSaver
TM
vacuum packaging system removes air and seals in
flavour and quality. With a full line of FoodSaver TM
Bags, and Canisters to expand your options, you can
now enjoy the benefits of a scientifically proven food
storage method that keeps food fresh up to five
times longer.

■ Marinate in minutes.
Vacuum packaging opens up the pores of food so

Control portions for dieting.
