Frequently Asked Questions - V5860 FOODSAVER
How do I prevent bags from shrinking too much when vacuuming delicate items?
Use the Pulse Vacuum feature. Press and release the Vacuum button repeatedly to control the air removal and avoid crushing soft foods.
Can I use any brand of vacuum bags with the FoodSaver V5860?
For best results, use FoodSaver bags and rolls designed with the patented channel texture for optimal air removal. Other brands may not seal properly.
How do I clean the drip tray and sealing gasket?
Remove the drip tray and wash with warm soapy water. Wipe the sealing gasket with a damp cloth. Ensure they are dry before reassembly.
Why is my machine not sealing the bag completely?
Check that the bag is placed evenly across the sealing strip. Ensure the lid is firmly closed. If the seal bar is dirty, clean it with a soft cloth. Also, use only FoodSaver bags.
Can I vacuum seal liquids or moist foods?
Yes, use the Moist setting for moist foods. For liquids, freeze them first or use a FoodSaver container to prevent liquid from being drawn into the vacuum pump.
How do I make a custom-sized bag from a roll?
Cut the desired length from the roll using the built-in cutter. Seal one end using the Seal Only function, then fill and vacuum seal the open end.
What does the 'Seal Only' function do?
The Seal Only function seals the bag without removing air. It is used to pre-seal one end of a homemade bag or to seal bags that are not being vacuumed.
How do I store the vacuum hose when not in use?
The hose can be coiled and stored in the compartment on the back of the machine or wrapped around the unit. Ensure it is dry before storage.
Why does the vacuum motor continue running after the bag is sealed?
This is normal if using the Pulse Vacuum feature, or if the bag is not properly detected. Check the bag placement and ensure the lid is locked.
Can I use the accessory hose to vacuum seal mason jars?
Yes, with the FoodSaver Wide-Mouth Jar Sealer accessory (not included). The hose connects to the accessory port for sealing jars.
