MARINATING CONTINUED
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. Make sure Accessory Hose is securely inserted into
port on the FoodSaver
4. Make sure knob on accessory lid is set to OPEN.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL VACUUM SEALING
1. Vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for the heat
process of canning. Perishables still need to be
refrigerated or frozen.
2. During the vacuum sealing process, small amounts
of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be
inadvertently pulled into Drip Tray (K), clogging the
pump and damaging your appliance. To prevent
this, follow these tips:
a. For moist and juicy foods: Freeze first and avoid
overfilling bags. You can also place a folded
paper towel inside top of bag, and below seal
area, before vacuum sealing.
b. For soups, sauces and liquids: Freeze first and
avoid overfilling bags. Or, use a canister in
refrigerator.
c. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid
overfilling bags. You can also place a coffee
filter or paper towel inside before vacuum
packaging.
d. Empty Drip Tray (K) after each use.
NOTE: To avoid overfilling, always leave at least
3 inches (7.62 centimeters) of bag material
between bag contents and top of bag. Then
leave at least one additional inch (2.54
centimeters) of bag material for each time you
plan to reuse bag.
3. Do not create your own side seams for a FoodSaver
brand bag. Bags are manufactured with a special
side seam, which is sealed all the way to the
outer edge.

GENERAL TIPS

4. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum sealing
bulky items, gently stretch bag flat while inserting
into the vacuum channel and hold until pump
begins.
5. If you are unsure your bag was sealed properly,
simply reseal bag.
6. When you are vacuum sealing items with sharp
edges (dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.), protect bag
from punctures by wrapping item in soft cushioning
material, such as a paper towel.
7. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before
vacuum sealing for best results.
TIPS ON SEALING A BAG
When making a bag from a roll:
Press the Stop/Seal Button (C) before placing bag
material into the Vacuum Channel (E). Once bag is
inserted, the seal process will begin immediately.
NOTE: If you forget to press the Stop/Seal Button
(C) before inserting the bag into the Vacuum
Channel (E), the vacuum pump will turn on.
This is not a problem, simply press the Stop/
Seal Button to prevent the pump from running
continuously and the sealing process will begin.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL VACUUM SEALING

stopping, consider the following:

If you are vacuum sealing with a bag, make sure the
bag is properly sealed. Check foam gasket around

from food material and is properly inserted into gasket
channel.
