Preparation Guidelines for Powdery Foods:

For best results when vacuum pack-
aging powdery foods in a FoodSaver
Bag, leave the item in its original
bag, then place that bag inside a
FoodSaver Bag. This will prevent
fine or powdery food from being
drawn into the vacuum pump and
help guarantee a good seal.

Keep powdery foods fresh and
protect them from insect infesta-
tion by repackaging them with the
FoodSaver after each use. You can
open the container and take what
you need for baking or cooking.

Preparation Guidelines for Snack Foods:

Keep snack foods fresh even if you
use them every day by vacuum
packaging them. Open the canister,

take what you need, then repackage
it to maintain freshness.

NOTE: Placing a box inside a FoodSaver Bag may puncture the bag. Therefore, it
is best to use the inner bag in which most powdery foods are generally packaged.

Preparation Guidelines for Bottled Liquids:

Wine, oil and other non-carbon-
ated bottled liquids can be kept
fresh longer with the FoodSaver
Bottle Stopper. Leave at least one
inch of room between the contents

and the bottom of the Bottle
Stopper before vacuum packaging
bottled liquids. Re-seal bottles after
each use.

Preparation Guidelines for Dry Foods:

Before vacuum packaging dry foods
with sharp edges, such as rice and
pasta, wrap the food in cushioning

material, like a paper towel. This
will help protect the FoodSaver Bag
from punctures.
