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 FoodSaver Bags and
®
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:
a. 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.
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.
d. If your appliance features a Drip Tray, empty 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.
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
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.
8. 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 instead of a bag.
9. When using a canister, remember to leave 2.5
cm of space at top.
10. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before
vacuum packaging for best results. See pages
11-12 for more information.
