Tips for Successful Vacuum Packaging
General Tips
Tips for Successful Vacuum Sealing
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
3. During the vacuum packaging process, small
amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be
inadvertently pulled into Vacuum Channel (J), 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 in
refrigerator.
c. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid overfilling
bags or use a canister. You can also place a coffee
filter or paper towel inside before vacuum
packaging.
d. If your appliance features a Drip Tray (I), empty
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 one 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.
Tips on Using the Pulse Vacuum Control Feature
Use the Pulse Vacuum Control feature to manually control
the vacuum process and avoid crushing delicate items.
1. Place item(s) in bag, allowing at least 7.5 cm of space
between bag contents and top of bag.
2. Open appliance lid and place open end of bag into
Vacuum Channel (J). Close lid and use Latch (E) to lock.
3. Press appropriate Food Setting Button (2) – Moist or Dry.
4. Press appropriate Speed Setting Button (4) – Fast,
Normal or Gentle.
5. Push and hold the Pulse Button (6). The vacuum pump
will run when the Pulse Button is held down. Release
the Pulse Button to stop the vacuum process. Repeat
pushing the Pulse Button until desired amount of air
has been removed.

6. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum packaging
bulky items, gently stretch bag flat along Sealing Strip
(L) 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.
9. When using accessories, remember to leave 2.5 cm of
space at top of canister or container, and make sure
to lock Latch (E) before vacuuming. Unlock the Latch
when finished.
10. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum
packaging for best results.
11. If appliance does not function, check to make sure the
Latch (E) is in the locked position.
12. If storing appliance horizontally, make sure the Latch
(E) is in the unlocked position. If storing appliance
vertically, lock the Latch halfway, to the store position.
Make sure Drip Tray (I) has been emptied before
storing vertically.
13. CAUTION: THIS SEALER IS NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE.
IF SEALING MORE THAN 30 BAGS OR CANISTERS IN A
ROW, WAIT AT LEAST 25 MINUTES BEFORE CONTINUING
TO USE YOUR VACUUM FOOD SEALER.
NOTE: If the vacuum pump stops engaging after
several pushes of the Pulse Button, it means the
maximum vacuum has been reached. Do not continue
to push the Pulse Button.
6. Press Seal Button (9) to seal the bag and end the
Pulse mode.
7. When the Progress Lights (8) turn off, unlock Latch, lift
lid and remove bag. Refrigerate or freeze if needed.
