Sealing a Bag  
GeneralTips  
Make sure you’ve placed the bag in the proper  
place. When making a bag from a roll, make sure end  
of cut piece is on Sealing Strip (K), not over rubber  
gasket (L) or in Vacuum Channel (I).  
3 inches between paper towel and end of bag so that  
bag seals properly with paper towel inside.  
1. Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for the  
heat process of canning. Perishables still need to  
be refrigerated or frozen.  
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.

Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled into  
theVacuum Channel or trapped in the seal. Either  
pre-freeze moist foods such as raw meat for 1-2  
hours before vacuum packaging, or place a folded  
paper towel between food and end of bag to  
absorb excess liquids. Just be sure to leave at least  
and Accessories.  
6. To prevent wrinkles in seal when vacuum  
packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat  
along Sealing Strip before you close lid.  
Make sure you give appliance time to cool down.  
Wait at least 20 seconds between seals. Under very  
heavy usage, appliance will shut off automatically to  
prevent overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to  
allow appliance to cool off.  
3. During the vacuum packaging process, small  
amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can  
be inadvertently pulled into Vacuum Channel,  
clogging the pump and damaging your appliance.  
To prevent this, follow these tips:

simply reseal bag about 4 inch 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. You  
may want to use a canister or Mason jar instead  
of a bag.  
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.

Removing Air from a Bag  
Make sure you’ve placed the bag in the proper  
place. When vacuuming and sealing a bag, make  
sure open end of bag is inside Vacuum Channel.  
If motor runs for more than 30 seconds without  
stopping, you may need to adjust bag and try again.  
If you are making the initial seal on a piece of bag  
material with two open ends, make sure bag is placed  
on Sealing Strip, not on black rubber gasket. If you  
are vacuum packaging with a bag, make sure open  
end is placed down inside Vacuum Channel and make  
sure Accessory Hose is not attached. If you are  
vacuum packaging with an accessory, check Accessory  
Hose in appliance lid and in accessory to ensure a  
tight fit. Also make sure Seal Control Switch (E) is set  
to Vacuum and Seal or Vacuum and Extended Seal.

9. When using accessories, remember to leave one  
inch of space at top of canister or container.  
Check for wrinkles in the bag along the Sealing  
Strip. Wrinkles in seal may cause leakage and allow  
air to come back into bag. Check for wrinkles in  
bag along Sealing Strip before closing lid and vacuum  
packaging. If you find wrinkles after sealing bag,  
simply cut bag open and vacuum package again.  
10.Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before  
vacuum packaging for best results. See pages 2-3  
of FoodSaver Reference Guide for more information.  
d. If your appliance features a Drip Tray, empty it  
after each use.

4. To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches  
of bag material between bag contents and top of  
bag. Then leave at least one additional inch of bag  
material for each time you plan to reuse bag.
