Care and Cleaning

The FoodSaver Appliance
®
1. Always unplug appliance before cleaning.
2. Do not immerse appliance in water.
3. Avoid using abrasive products or materials to clean any
appliance components. These cleaners can scratch the
surface and damage the black foam rubber pads.
4. Use a mild dishwashing soap and a warm, damp
cloth to wipe away food residue inside or around
components.
5. Dry thoroughly before reusing.
6. If your appliance features a Drip Tray, empty Drip Tray
after each use. Wash in warm soapy water or place in
top rack of dishwasher.
FoodSaver Bags
®
1. Wash bags in warm water using a mild dishwashing
soap.
Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I try to vacuum package:
1. Check power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into
electrical outlet.
2. Examine power cord for any damages.
3. See if electrical outlet is working by plugging in
another appliance.
4. Make sure the lid is closed and the latch is in the
locked position.
5. If your appliance has a mode switch, make sure it is set
to the correct mode. Refer to your QuickStart Guide for
instructions.
6. Make sure bag is placed correctly inside Vacuum
Channel.
7. Wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off, and
then try using it again.
Note: The appliance will shut off automatically if it
becomes too hot.
To keep your appliance from overheating:
Wait at least 20 seconds for appliance to cool down
before you begin vacuum packaging another item. Keep
lid open before vacuum packaging.
Air is still in the bag:
1. Make sure open end of bag is resting entirely inside
Vacuum Channel. If edge of bag is beyond Vacuum
Channel, bag will not seal properly.
2. Examine bag for leaks. To see if your bag has a leak,
seal bag with air, submerge it into water and apply
pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. Use a new bag if
bubbles appear.

2. To wash bags in dishwasher, turn bags inside out and
spread them over top rack of dishwasher, so entire
surface is exposed to the washing water.
3. Allow bags to dry thoroughly before reusing.
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible illness, do not reuse bags
after storing raw meat, raw fish or greasy foods. Do not
reuse bags that have been microwaved or simmered.
FoodSaver Canisters
®
1. Wash all FoodSaver Canisters in warm water, using a
®
mild dishwashing soap. Do not immerse lids in water.
2. Dry thoroughly before reusing.
3. FoodSaver Canister bases (but not lids) are top rack
®
dishwasher safe. Canister lids should be wiped down
with a damp cloth.
4. Canisters with white lids should not be used in
microwave or freezer.
3. If you are using a custom-sized FoodSaver Bag, check
®
seal of bag. A wrinkle in the bag along the seal may
cause leakage and allow air to re-enter. Just cut bag
and reseal.
4. Do not attempt to make your own side seams for a
FoodSaver Bag. The bags are manufactured with
®
special side seams, which are sealed all the way to the
outer edge. Making your own side seams may cause
leakage and allow air to re-enter.
Air was removed from the bag, but now air has
re-entered:
1. Examine seal of bag. A wrinkle along the seal may
cause leakage and allow air to enter. Simply cut bag
and reseal.
2. Sometimes moisture or food material (such as juices,
grease, crumbs, powders, etc.) along seal prevents bag
from sealing properly. Cut bag open, wipe top inside
of bag and reseal. See pages 11-12 for guidelines for
specific foods.
3. If you are vacuum packaging sharp food items, bag may
have been punctured. Use a new bag if there is a hole.
Cover sharp food items with a soft cushioning material,
such as a paper towel, and reseal.
4. If you are still experiencing difficulty with air in your
bag, fermentation or the release of natural gases
from inside the foods may have occurred. When this
happens, food may have begun to spoil and should be
discarded.
The bag melts:
If your bag melts, Sealing Strip may have become too
hot. Always wait at least 20 seconds for appliance to cool
down before you vacuum package another item.
