Tips on sealing & vacuuming a bag
Make sure you've securely locked the FoodSaver
®
appliance
lid. When making a bag from a roll,
place bag material on the sealing strip, close
and lock the lid.
Prevent moisture or liquid from being pulled
into the Vacuum Channel or trapped in the seal.
Pre-freeze moist food 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 2.5cm between food and end
of bag so that bag seals properly with paper
towel inside.
Make sure you give FoodSaver
®
appliance
time to cool down. Wait at least 20 seconds
between seals. Under very heavy usage,
appliance will not operate to prevent
overheating. If it does, wait 20 minutes to
allow appliance to cool off.
Vacuum packaging in bulk
To package a large number of bags at one
time, it is recommended to:
- create bag
- place foods in bag
- vacuum & seal
- repeat
Following this process will prevent the
appliance from overheating. Do not for
example: create 10 bags, then vacuum &
seal 10 bags as this can overheat the heating
element.
Make sure you've securely locked the
FoodSaver
®
appliance lid. 'When vacuuming
and sealing a bag or canister, ensure the lid
has been fully closed and lid has locked into
place.
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 seal again.
If the motor runs for more than 30 seconds
without stopping, consider the following:
- adjust the bag and try again.
- if you are making an initial seal on a piece
of bag material with two open ends, make
sure the bag is placed on the sealing strip.
- if you are vacuum packaging with a bag,
make sure the open end is placed down
inside the vacuum channel.
- ensure the accessory hose is not attached.
