Marinating with your FoodSaver
Your FoodSaver
Vacuum Sealing System has a special
®
Quick Marinate Cycle which will last about ten minutes.
The FoodSaver
Quick Marinating Canister is the perfect
®
FoodSaver
®
accessory for marinating foods.
During the Marinate Cycle, the vacuum pump will "hold"
the vacuum for several minutes then release the vacuum,
allowing the food to "rest" for 30 seconds. This process then
repeats. This "pulsing" action of "vacuuming and resting"
will allow for quicker more flavorful marinating.
Important Note: During the Quick Marinate Cycle,
make sure knob on lid of the Quick Marinating Canister
is set to OPEN. Do not set knob to Vacuum during the
Marinate Cycle.
1. Prepare enough of your favorite marinade to fully
cover food inside a marinating canister.
Always leave at least one inch (2.54 centimeters)
of space between contents and top of rim.
2. Make sure rubber gasket underneath lids as well as rim
of marinating canister is free from food materials.
3. Pull out Retractable Handheld Sealer from your
FoodSaver
appliance. Remove clear bottom portion of
®
Retractable Handheld Sealer from top handle (Fig. 1).
4. Insert the end into the port on the canister. Make sure
knob on accessory lid is set to OPEN (Fig. 2).
5. Make sure lid is firmly attached to marinator base.

6. Press Marinate button
on the control panel (Fig. 3).
7. Your FoodSaver
Vacuum Sealing System will now
®
begin the Quick Marinate Cycle. The Marinate Indicator
Light will flash to indicate the marinating process has begun.
8. During the initial vacuum cycle the Marinate Mode Indicator
will illuminate. While Marinating, the Vacuum Progress
Display will blink during the Vacuum Hold or Rest Cycle.
9. To preserve food safely, after completing the marinating
cycle, the appliance will signal with short beeps to indicate
your Quick Marinate Cycle is completed. Press any button
to silence the signal. You may now cook or refrigerate your
marinated food.
10. To use the Quick Marinating Canister for extended vacuum
storage (beyond the short Marinate Cycle): Rotate knob to
Vacuum/Canister position, connect the Retractable Handheld
Sealer (as above) and select Accessory Mode
control panel. When motor turns off, rotate knob clockwise
to the "Closed" position, then gently twist and remove
Retractable Handheld Sealer from accessory.
