General Tips
Tips for Successful Vacuum Packaging
(continued)
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
®
Bags and
Canisters.
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.
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. See pages
4-5 of
FoodSaver
®
Reference Guide
for more
information.
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:
