Frequently Asked Questions - FSV1199 FOODSAVER

How to charge the FoodSaver FSV1199 device?

Before first use, charge the device for 24 hours to optimize battery life. Plug the charging base into a wall outlet, then place the device on the base. The charging light stays on while plugged in. Also recharge the device every 6 months even if not in use.

Can I use other brand bags with this device?

For optimal results, we recommend using only FoodSaver zipper bags and FoodSaver food containers. Other brands may not provide a perfect seal and could damage the device.

How to clean the device's drip tray?

Unplug the device and remove the removable drip tray. Wash it with hot water and mild dish soap. Let it air dry before putting it back. Never immerse the device or charging base in water.

Does vacuum packaging replace refrigeration or freezing?

No, vacuum packaging does not replace refrigeration or freezing. It extends freshness by reducing oxidation, but perishable foods should still be stored in the refrigerator or freezer after vacuum sealing.

Can I put FoodSaver food containers in the microwave?

Yes, FoodSaver food containers are microwave safe for reheating food, but not for cooking. Remove the lid before microwaving and follow the instruction manual.

What to do if the bag does not seal tightly?

Check that the zipper is fully closed by running your fingers from end to end. Make sure no food debris is blocking the zipper or valve. Clean the inside of the bag around the zipper and under the valve. If the bag is punctured by sharp edges, use a new bag and wrap food in paper towel.

How to use the device with accessories like jars?

Remove the transparent drip tray from the device. Connect the accessory adapter to the accessory (e.g., jar lid) then place the device on the accessory's valve. Press the vacuum button for 10 to 20 seconds.

Can I vacuum seal liquid foods like soups?

Using zipper bags for liquids is not recommended because liquid can be sucked into the valve and cause leaks. Instead, use a FoodSaver food container and place it in the refrigerator.

What is the battery life and how to maintain it?

The rechargeable battery is designed to last several years if properly maintained. Charge it fully for 24 hours for the first use, then recharge every 6 months even if not using the device, to prevent deep discharge.

What to do if the device does not start when I press the vacuum button?

First, ensure the device is charged. If the battery is empty, place it on the charging base. Also check that the air valve of the bag or container is correctly positioned under the nozzle. If the problem persists, refer to the Troubleshooting section of the manual.

IMPORTANT TIPS

1. For best results, use only with FoodSaver® Brand Vacuum Zipper Bags and Fresh Containers.

2. When vacuum packaging zipper bags, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently pulled into the Valve, creating a possible air leak. To prevent this, follow these tips:

a. For soups, sauces and liquids: use a container and then place in refrigerator. Sealing liquid in Zipper Bags is NOT recommend.

b. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid overfilling bags or use a container. You can also place a coffee filter or paper towel on top of the food beneath valve before vacuum packaging.

English

c. Ensure the zipper is closed securely and no food debris is trapped in the zipper. Food trapped in the zipper can create a leak which may cause the bag to loose vacuum over time.

1. Reservoir must be in place during operation of FoodSaver® Zipper Bags and Fresh Containers. For use with FoodSaver® Bottle Stoppers, Canisters and other accessories, remove reservoir and seal using the accessory port.

2. When using containers, remember to leave 2.5cm of space at top of container. WWW.FOODSAVEREUROPE.COM

Guidelines for Vacuum Packaging

Vacuum Packaging & Food Safety

The vacuum packaging process extends the life of foods by removing most of the air from sealed zipper bags and containers, thereby reducing oxidation, which affects nutritional value, flavour and overall quality. Removing air can also inhibit growth of microorganisms, which can cause problems under certain conditions:

Mould – Easily identified by its fuzzy characteristic. Mould cannot grow in a low oxygen environment, therefore vacuum packaging can slow the growth of mold.

Yeast – Results in fermentation, which can be identified by smell and taste. Yeast needs water, sugar and a moderate temperature to grow. It can also survive with or without air. Slowing the growth of yeast requires refrigeration, while freezing stops it completely.

Bacteria – Results in an unpleasant odour, discoloration and/or soft or slimy texture. Under the right conditions, Clostridium botulinum (the organism that causes Botulism) can grow without air and sometimes cannot be detected by smell or taste. Although it is extremely rare, it can be very dangerous. To preserve foods safely, it is critical that you maintain low temperatures.

Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing and it cannot reverse the deterioration of foods. It can only slow down the changes in quality. It is difficult to predict how long foods will retain their top-quality flavour, appearance or texture because it depends on age and condition of the food on the day it was vacuumed packaged.

Food Safety Warning

Use fresh, perishable foods soon after purchase. Even under proper storage conditions, foods lose freshness and nutritive value if they are stored too long.

Food Preparation Tips

Hard Cheeses:

To keep cheese fresh, vacuum package it after each use.

IMPORTANT: Soft cheeses should never be vacuum packaged.

Baked Goods:

To vacuum package soft or airy baked goods, we recommend using a FoodSaver® Container so they will hold their shape.

Instructions

Care, Cleaning & Troubleshooting

Care & Cleaning

1. Always unplug appliance before cleaning.
2. Do not immerse the charging dock, power cord and charger or the Handheld Vacuum Sealer in water or any other liquid.
3. Avoid using abrasive products or materials to clean any appliance components. These cleaners can scratch the surface and damage the black foam rubber pads.
4. Use a mild dish washing soap and a warm, damp cloth to wipe away food residue inside or around components.
5. Empty Reservoir after each use. Wash in warm soapy water. Air dry before replacing.

IMPORTANT:

To remove Reservoir from FoodSaver ^00 : while holding Handheld Vacuum Sealer with one hand pull clear Reservoir away from main housing of unit.

The FoodSaver® Fresh Zipper Bags should be used for fresh storage only (in the refrigerator or cupboard) and not in the freezer. Do not use to vacuum seal liquids.

If vacuuming moist foods, ensure that the liquid does not reach the zipper bag valve and check and clean the appliance reservoir when needed.

FoodSaver® Fresh Containers

1. The Container Base and Lid can be safely washed in the top rack of the dishwasher. You can also wash both pieces in warm, soapy water; rinse well and dry thoroughly. The Vacuum Valve Cover and Gasket can be washed in warm, soapy water; rinse well and dry thoroughly.
2. FoodSaver ^® Containers are microwave safe for reheating only, not for cooking.

Troubleshooting

Vacuum sealer does not start when start Button is pressed:

1. Ensure vacuum sealer is charged.

Vacuum Sealer starts but bag does not tighten around food:

1. Ensure zipper is firmly closed. Slide fingers across entire zipper.
2. Air valve is not on flat surface. Reposition bag so the Air Valve lies flat on counter with no food under Air Valve.

Vacuum Nozzle and Air Valve are not making secure contact:

1. Ensure Vacuum Nozzle is centred over the grey circle and placed flat on Air Valve. Apply moderate pressure.

Air was removed from the bag, but now air has re-entered:

1. Examine zipper and valve of bag. Food debris in zipper or valve may cause leakage and allow air to enter.
2. Sometimes moisture or food material along seal edges of the zipper or beneath the valve prevents bag from sealing properly. Wipe the inside of bag around zipper and beneath value and attempt to reseal.
3. If you are vacuum packaging sharp food items, bag may have been punctured. Use a new bag if there is a hole. Cover sharp food items with a soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel, and reseal.

The FoodSaver® Fresh Container will not vacuum:

1. Ensure the gasket on inside of lid is free from food and debris. Remove the valve cover and check to see if there is any debris in the valve. Clean the valve thoroughly periodically after usage. Ensure lid is firmly pressed down onto the base tray.
