5. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving products containing hot
liquids.
Important Tips
1. Vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for the heat process of canning.
Perishables still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
2. For best results, use only with FoodSaver
Accessories.
3. During the vacuum sealing process, small amounts of liquids, crumbs
or food particles can be inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Channel.
Empty the Drip Tray after each use.
4. Avoid overfilling; always leave at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of bag material
between bag contents and top of bag. This allows room for the bag
material to cinch tightly against the food and prevents the bag from
pulling out of the Vacuum Channel during the sealing process. Then
leave at least one additional inch (2.54 cm) of bag material for each
time you plan to reuse bag.
5. Do not create your own side seams for a FoodSaver
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 sealing bulky items, gently
stretch bag flat while inserting bag into Vacuum Channel and continue
to hold bag until Vacuum Pump starts.
7. 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. You may want to use a
FoodSaver Container or Mason jar instead of a FoodSaver
®
8. When using accessories, remember to leave one inch (2.54 cm) of
space at top.
9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for best
results. (See "Guidelines" for food storage safety, pages 15 - 20.)
10. Wait 20 seconds between seals to allow appliance to cool.
11. Never store lid in Operate position as gaskets may become compressed.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk
of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in 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) is provided
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. If a long
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
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. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding type 3-wire cord; and
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.
