When Vacuum Packaging:
1. Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute 

for refrigeration.

2. Use ONLY bags, rolls and canisters 

manufactured by Sunbeam Products Inc.

3. Do not allow the Vacuum Channel to 

fill up with liquids. This will render the 
machine unusable. 

To prevent it, avoid 

overfilling the bags and freeze liquids first.

4. You can prevent liquids from being 

drawn into the appliance by placing a 
folded paper towel at the top of the bag, 
but below the seal area, before vacuum 
packaging.

5. Do not attempt to create your own side 

seals for a FoodSaver

®

 Bag. These bags 

are manufactured with special side 
seams which are sealed all the way to 
the outer edge. Creating your own side 
seams can actually leave air channels 
exposed which will cause leakage and 
prevent a vacuum from being formed.

6. Always make sure you leave at least  

2.5cm of extra bag material for each 
time you plan to reuse the bag. To avoid 
possible illness, 

do not reuse bags after 

storing meats, fish or greasy foods.

7.  If you are not sure whether you have 

achieved a complete seal, simply seal 
the bag again about 1cm above the 
first seal.

8.  Bulky items sometimes make it difficult 

to achieve a smooth sealing surface. 
Gently stretch the bag flat along the 
Sealing Strip before closing the lid.

9.  When packaging products with sharp 

edges (dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.), 
protect the bag from punctures by 
wrapping the products in a cushioning 
material, such as paper towels, 
styrofoam, tissue, etc. Products can 
also be vacuum packaged in canisters 
to avoid any possibility of puncturing a 
bag.

10. Avoid drawing powdery or fine-grained 

products such as, flour, sugar and 
coffee grinds into the appliance. 
This will inhibit the vacuuming and 
sealing process and may clog the unit, 
preventing it from drawing a good 
vacuum. To prevent this from occurring, 
avoid overfilling the bags.

11. If using the FoodSaver

®

 appliance to 

re-seal packets, ensure that these have 
been previously commercially heat 
sealed. Do not use the sealing strip 
to re-seal conventional plastic wrap, 
sandwich bags and plastic bags as they 
may melt over the sealing strip.
