Your FoodSaver
®
appliance also protects
non-food items from oxidation, corrosion and
moisture.
Just follow the directions for vacuum
packaging using the FoodSaver
®
Bags,
Canisters and Accessories.
• Camping and hiking gear stays dry and
compact. Vacuum packaging your clothes
and equipment will help save space in your
bag. Vacuum package matches, maps and
anything you want to stay dry.
• For picnics, fill a FoodSaver
®
Bag with ice
and seal. When it melts, you’ll have fresh
water for drinking or you can put it back in
the freezer as a reusable ice pack.
• For painting, vacuum package your wet
paint brush between coats rather than
washing out. Particularly useful for
oil based paints that require mineral
turpentine to clean up.
• Vacuum package your food and equipment
for a boating or sailing outing. Food will
stay dry in the cooler/esky. Batteries and
film won’t get damaged by water, and you’ll
appreciate having a dry change of clothes.
• Vacuum package first aid kits and
emergency kits for your house, your boat
and your car. Items will all be in one
package and will stay dry and without
dirt and mold. Include flares, batteries,
flashlight, candles and matches.
• To vacuum package silver, wrap fork prongs
in soft cushioning material, such as a
paper towel, to avoid puncturing bag.
