1
Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
2
Do not immerse the appliance in water.
3
Do not use abrasive products or materials to clean any of the appli-
ance components. Such cleaners can scratch the surfaces and damage
the black foam rubber pads, preventing a vacuum from forming.
4
Clean using a mild dishwashing soap and a warm, damp cloth.
Wipe away any food residue from inside or around the Vacuum
Channel, Sealing Strip and black foam rubber pads.
5
Dry thoroughly before using.
FoodSaver Bags
1
Wash bags in warm water using a mild dishwashing soap.
2
Bags can be washed in the dishwasher by carefully turning the
bags inside out and spreading them over the top rack of the dish-
washer so that all surfaces are exposed to the washing water.
3
Allow bags to dry thoroughly before reusing.
FoodSaver Accessories
1
All FoodSaver accessories should be washed in warm water using
a mild dishwashing soap.
2
Dry thoroughly before using.
3
All FoodSaver Canister bases (but not the lids) may be washed
in the dishwasher.

Bulk Storage and Square Canister bases (but not the lids) may
be used to reheat foods in the microwave.
5
Designer Canister bases and lids are not to be used in
the microwave.
IMPORTANT: Do not reuse bags that have been used to store
raw meats or fish. Also, bags may not be reusable if they have
been used to store greasy or fatty foods. Do not reuse bags that
have been microwaved or boiled.
FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers are the best way to keep wine, oils and
non-carbonated bottled liquids fresh longer. You will keep their
delicate taste from going stale by not exposing the liquids to air.
FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers are not to be used with plastic bottles.
Also, do not use with any carbonated or sparkling beverages.
Carbonation happens under pressure. A vacuum removes this
pressure, releasing the bubbles and causing the beverages to
become flat.
1
Insert the Bottle Stopper into the neck of the bottle. Leave at
least one inch between the contents and the bottom of the
Bottle Stopper.
2
Insert one end of the Accessory Hose into the Accessory Port on
the appliance. Insert the other end of the Accessory Hose into the
hole on the top of the Bottle Stopper. Twist the gray hose fitting
while inserting to ensure a tight fit.
3
Vacuum package as per instructions
on page 10, steps 6-8.
How to Remove the FoodSaver Bottle Stopper
To remove a FoodSaver Bottle Stopper, simply twist and
pull up on the Bottle Stopper to release the vacuum.
IMPORTANT: Remember to remove the Accessory Hose from the
Accessory Port on the appliance before you vacuum package in
FoodSaver Bags. Remove the hose by gently twisting the gray
fitting while pulling it out. Never yank or tug the hose as this
may damage both the hose and the fitting.
