When Vacuum Packaging:
1. Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for
refrigeration.
2. Use only FoodSaver
®
bags, rolls and
containers.
3. During the vacuum packaging process,
small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food
particles can be inadvertently pulled into
the Vacuum Channel. Empty the Drip Tray
after each use.
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
2.5 cm 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 containers 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
or alternatively use containers.
11. If using the FoodSaver
®
appliance to
re-seal packets, ensure that these have
been previously commercially heat sealed.
