FOODSAVER FM2900 - For details, contact Consumer Services at 1-877-777-8042. - 1

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wide than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a power grid outlet only one-way

If the plug does not fit July in the outlet, reverse the plug. If I still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to delta this plug safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits looser into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

  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 scaling is NOT a substitute for the heat process of canning. Penishables still need to be refrigerated or frozen.
  2. For best results, use only with FoodSavor® 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 FoodSavor® Bag. Those 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 purcures 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.
  8. When using accessories, remember to leave one inch (2.54 cm) of space at top of canister or container.
  9. Pre freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum sealing for best results. See Guidelines for Vacuum Sealing, pages 7 - 10.
  10. Wait 20 seconds between seals to allow appliance to cool.
  11. Never store lid in OPERATE position as gaskets may become compressed.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a long extension cord is used:

a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
b. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Guidelines

For Successful Vacuum Sealing

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 and Reheating Tips

FOODSAVER FM2900 - Food Preparation and Reheating Tips - 1

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).

FOODSAVER FM2900 - Thawing and Reheating Vacuum-Sealed Foods - 1

Preparation Guidelines for Hard Cheeses:

To keep cheese fresh, vacuum seal it after each use. Make your FoodSaver® Bag extra long, allowing one inch of bag material for each time you plan to open and reseal in addition to the 3-inch (7.62 cm) room you normally leave between contents and seal. 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.

FOODSAVER FM2900 - Preparation Guidelines for Hard Cheeses: - 1

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.

FOODSAVER FM2900 - Preparation Guidelines for Meat and Fish: - 1

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.

Food Preparation and Reheating Tips (cont.)

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.

FOODSAVER FM2900 - Food Preparation and Reheating Tips (cont.) - 1

Preparation Guidelines for Leafy Vegetables: For best results, use a canister 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 canister and vacuum seal as normal. Store in refrigerator.

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 ^® Canister.

FOODSAVER FM2900 - Preparation Guidelines for Fruits: - 1

Preparation Guidelines for Baked Goods:

To vacuum seal soft or airy baked goods, we recommend using a FoodSaver Canister 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.

FOODSAVER FM2900 - Preparation Guidelines for Baked Goods: - 1

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 canister before vacuum sealing. You can also place the food in its original bag inside a FoodSaver* Bag, or use a FoodSaver Universal Lid with the original container to vacuum seal.

FOODSAVER FM2900 - Preparation Guidelines for Coffee and Powdery Foods: - 1

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 of room between contents and bottom of Bottle Stopper. You can reseal bottles after each use.

Care

and Cleaning of your Vacuum Sealer

To Clean Appliance:

Remove Power Cord from electrical outlet. Do not immerse in liquid. Check Gaskets and around Drip Tray to make sure they are free from food materials. Wipe off Gasket with a warm soapy cloth if needed. Upper and Lower Gaskets may be removed for cleaning. Clean with warm, soapy water and allow gaskets to dry before reinserting in machine.

The Removable Drip Tray makes cleanup easy when small amounts of liquids are inadvertently pulled into the Vacuum Channel during vacuum process.

Empty Drip Tray after each use. Wash in warm soapy water or place on top rack of dishwasher. Check for food residues in Drip Tray Slot. Clean if needed. Dry thoroughly before re-inserting into the appliance.

To Store Appliance:

Clean unit thoroughly as detailed above.

After the unit has been cleaned and allowed to fully dry, close lid and push the Easy Lock Latch into the STORE (middle) position. This setting will keep the lid closed but prevents any undue pressure from being applied to the internal sealing gaskets of the unit.

Always leave lid latch in STORE position when not in use. Never store lid in OPERATE position as Internal gaskets may become compressed. When appliance is left in OPERATE position, the Gaskets become compressed and the unit may not function properly.

Handheld Sealer Reservoir:

Empty Reservoir after each use.

Wash in warm soapy water.

Air dry before replacing.

To Remove Reservoir from handheld sealer, holding top portion (black upper piece) firmly, pull lower reservoir down and off.
