IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For your own safety, always follow these basic precautions when using a FoodSaver® appliance:

1. Read the Owner's Manual carefully for operating instructions. Read all instructions in this manual before use.

2. When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions are required to always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

DANGER – To reduce the risk of electric shock:

1. Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug immediately from receptacle.

2. Do not use while bathing or in a shower.

3. Do not place or store appliance where it is able to fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Do not place in or drop into water or other liquid.

4. Always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using.

5. Unplug this appliance before cleaning.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock:

1. Do not use appliance on wet surfaces or outdoors.

2. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse any part of appliance, power cord or plug in water or other liquid. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

3. To disconnect, unplug power cord from electrical outlet. Do not disconnect by pulling on cord.

4. Do not operate appliance with a damaged power cord or plug. Do not operate appliance if it malfunctions or is in any way, damaged.

For details, contact Consumer Services at number listed below.

1. Use appliance only for its intended use.

2. Closely supervise children when using any electrical appliance. Do not allow appliance to be used as a toy.

3. Caution: A short power cord is provided to reduce risks from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used when marked electrical rating is no less than electrical rating of this appliance.

4. No cords should drape over counter or tabletop, where cords can be tripped over or pulled on unintentionally, especially by children.

Consumer Service: US: 1-877-777-8042 CA: 1-877-804-5383 MX: [phone]

1. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or heated oven. Extreme caution must be used when moving products containing hot liquids.

Important Tips

1. Vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for the heat process of canning. Perishables still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
2. For best results, use only with FoodSave® Bags, Rolls, Containers and Accessories.
3. During the vacuum sealing 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. Avoid overfilling; always leave at least 3 inches (7.62 cm) of bag material between bag contents and top of bag. This allows room for the bag material to cinch tightly against the food and prevents the bag from pulling out of the Vacuum Channel during the sealing process. Then leave at least one additional inch (2.54 cm) of bag material for each time you plan to reuse bag.
5. Do not create your own side seams for a FoodSave® Bag. These bags are manufactured with a special side seam, which is sealed all the way to the outer edge.
6. To prevent wrinkles in the seal when vacuum sealing bulky items, gently stretch bag flat while inserting bag into Vacuum Channel and continue to hold bag until Vacuum Pump starts.
7. When you are vacuum sealing 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 FoodSaver® Container or Mason jar instead of a FoodSave® Bag.
8. When using accessories, remember to leave one inch (2.54 cm) of space at top.
9. Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for best results. (See "Guidelines" for food storage safety, pages 13-18.)
10. Wait 20 seconds between seals to allow appliance to cool.
11. Never store lid in Operate position as gaskets may become compressed.

Guidelines

Vacuum Sealing and Food Safety

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

Mold - Easily identified by its fuzzy characteristic. Mold cannot grow in a low oxygen environment; therefore vacuum sealing 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 odor, discoloration and/or soft or slimy texture. Under the right conditions, anaerobic bacteria such as 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. You can significantly reduce the growth of microorganisms at temperatures of 40^ F ( 4^ C) or below. Freezing at 0^ F (-17°C) does not kill microorganisms, but stops them from growing. For long-term storage, always freeze perishable foods that have been vacuum sealed, and keep refrigerated after thawing.

It is important to note that vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for canning 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 flavor, appearance or texture because it depends on age and condition of the food on the day it was vacuum sealed.

IMPORTANT:

Vacuum sealing is NOT a substitute for refrigeration or freezing.

Any perishable foods that require refrigeration must still be refrigerated or frozen after vacuum sealing.

Food Preparation & Reheating Tips

Thawing and Reheating

Vacuum-Sealed Foods

Always thaw foods in either refrigerator or microwave — do not thaw perishable foods at room temperature.

To reheat foods in a microwave in a FoodSaver ^® Bag, always cut corner of the bag before placing it on a microwave-safe dish. However, to avoid hot spots, do not reheat bone-in meat or greasy foods in microwave within a FoodSaver ^® Bag. You can also reheat foods in FoodSaver ^® Bags by placing them in water at a low simmer below 170°F (75°C).

Preparation Guidelines for Meat and Fish:

For best results, pre-freeze meat and fish for 1-2 hours before vacuum sealing in a FoodSaver® Bag. This helps retain the juice and shape, and guarantees a better seal.

If it's not possible to pre-freeze, place a folded paper towel between meat or fish and top of bag, but below seal area. Leave paper towel in bag to absorb excess moisture and juices during vacuum sealing process.

NOTE: Beef may appear darker after vacuum sealing due to the removal of oxygen. This is not an indication of spoilage.

Preparation Guidelines for Hard Cheeses:

To keep cheese fresh, vacuum seal it after each use. Make your FoodSaver ^® Bag extra long, allowing one inch (2.54 cm) of bag material for each time you plan to open and reseal in addition to the three inches (7.62 cm) of extra space you normally leave between contents and seal edge. Simply cut sealed edge and remove cheese. When you're ready to reseal the cheese, just drop it in bag and reseal.

IMPORTANT:

Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, soft cheeses should never be vacuum sealed.

2022/2/1 2:17 PM

Food Preparation & Reheating Tips

Preparation Guidelines for Vegetables:

Vegetables need to be blanched before vacuum sealing. This process stops the enzyme action that could lead to loss of flavor, color and texture.

To blanch vegetables, place them in boiling water or in the microwave until they are cooked, but still crisp. Blanching times range from 1 to 2 minutes for leafy greens and peas; 3 to 4 minutes for snap peas, sliced zucchini or broccoli; 5 minutes for carrots; and 7 to 11 minutes for corn on the cob. After blanching, immerse vegetables in cold water to stop the cooking process. Finally, dry vegetables on a towel before vacuum sealing.

NOTE: All vegetables (including broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, turnips) naturally emit gases during storage. Therefore, after blanching, they must be stored in freezer only.

When freezing vegetables, it is best to pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To freeze vegetables in individual servings, first place on a baking sheet and spread them out so they are not touching. This prevents them from freezing together in a block. Once they are frozen, remove from baking sheet and vacuum seal vegetables in a FoodSaver® Bag. After they have been vacuum sealed, return them to the freezer.

IMPORTANT:

Due to the risk of anaerobic bacteria, fresh mushrooms, onions and garlic should never be vacuum sealed.

Preparation Guidelines for Leafy Vegetables:

For best results, use a FoodSaver® Container to store leafy vegetables. First wash the vegetables, and then dry with a towel or salad spinner. After they are dried, put them in a container and vacuum seal as normal. Store in refrigerator.

US: www.FoodSaver.com | CA: www.FoodSaver.ca | MX: www.oster.com.mx/foodsaver

Food Preparation & Reheating Tips

Preparation Guidelines for Fruits:

When freezing soft fruits or berries, it is best to pre-freeze them for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To freeze fruit in individual servings, first place on a baking sheet and spread them out so they are not touching. This prevents them from freezing together in a block. Once they are frozen, remove from baking sheet and vacuum seal fruit in a FoodSaver® Bag. After they have been vacuum sealed, return them to the freezer.

You can vacuum seal portions for baking or in your favorite combinations for easy fruit salad all year round. If storing in the refrigerator, we recommend using a FoodSaver® Container.

IMPORTANT:

When vacuum sealing apples, they must be sliced, and put a small bit of lemon juice on the slices to prevent them from browning.

Because of their natural ripening, bananas may actually decay faster under a vacuum seal.

Preparation Guidelines for Baked Goods:

To vacuum seal soft or airy baked goods, we recommend using a FoodSaver ^3 Container so they will hold their shape. If using a bag, pre-freeze for 1-2 hours or until solidly frozen. To save time, make cookie dough, pie shells, whole pies, or mix dry ingredients in advance and vacuum seal for later use.

Preparation Guidelines for Coffee and Powdery Foods:

To prevent food particles from being drawn into Vacuum Pump, place a coffee filter or paper towel at top of bag or container before vacuum sealing. You can also place the food in its original bag inside a FoodSaver ^® Bag to vacuum seal.

Food Preparation & Reheating Tips

Preparation Guidelines for Liquids:

Before you vacuum seal liquids such as soup stock, pre-freeze in a casserole dish, loaf pan or ice cube tray until solid. Remove frozen liquid from pan and vacuum seal in a FoodSaver ^™ Bag. You can stack these "frozen bricks" in your freezer. When you're ready to use, just cut corner of bag and place in a dish in microwave or drop into water at a low simmer, below 170°F (75°C).

To vacuum seal non-carbonated bottled liquids, you can use a FoodSaver® Bottle Stopper with the original container. Remember to leave at least one inch (2.54 cm) of room between contents and bottom of Bottle Stopper. You can reseal bottles after each use.

Preparation Guidelines for Make-ahead Meals and Leftovers:

Efficiently store your make-ahead meals and leftovers in the stackable, lightweight FoodSaver® Containers. These convenient FoodSaver® Containers are nestable, crack and shatter resistant, dishwasher safe, and bases are microwave safe for reheating only.

Preparation Guidelines for Snack Foods:

Your snack foods will maintain their freshness longer when you vacuum seal them. For best results, use a FoodSaver ^® Container for crushable items like crackers.

Vacuum Sealing Non-Food Items

The FoodSaver® Vacuum Sealing System also protects non-food items from oxidation, corrosion and moisture. Simply follow directions to vacuum seal items using FoodSaver® Bags, Containers and Accessories.

Silverware

To vacuum seal silver, wrap fork lines in soft cushioning material, such as a paper towel, to avoid puncturing bag, and seal as normal. Your silver will be clean, fresh and untarnished right when you need it for your next dinner gathering.

Camping

Your FoodSaver® Bags are ideal for outdoor excursions. For camping and hiking, keep your matches, maps and food dry and compact.

Water

To have fresh water for drinking, simply fill a FoodSaver® Bag with ice, seal it, and when needed, let the ice pack melt. You can trim the corner off the bag to make a spout for drinking or pouring.

Boating

If you're going sailing or boating, you can vacuum seal your food, extra batteries, memory cards, cash, identification cards, boating license and a dry change of clothes. Just remember to bring scissors or a knife to open the bags when you need them!

Emergency

To keep emergency kits safe and dry, vacuum seal flares, batteries, flashlights, matches, candles, first aid kits, extra food and other necessities. Your emergency items will stay dry and organized in your home, car, boat or RV.
