Troubleshooting
Nothing happens when I try to vacuum package:
1. Check power cord to see if it is firmly plugged into
electrical outlet.
2. Examine power cord for damage.
3. Check electrical outlet by plugging in another
appliance.
4. If your appliance has latches, make sure the lid is
closed and the latch is in the locked position.
5. If your appliance has a mode switch, make sure it is
set to the correct mode.
6. Make sure bag is placed correctly down inside the
Vacuum Channel.
7. Wait 20 minutes to allow appliance to cool off, and
then try using it again.
Note: The appliance will shut off automatically if it
becomes too hot.
To keep your appliance from overheating:
Wait at least 20 seconds for the appliance to cool down
before you begin vacuum packaging another item. Keep
the lid open before vacuum packaging.
Air is still in the bag:
1. Make sure the open end of bag is resting entirely
inside the Vacuum Channel. If the edge of bag is
beyond the Vacuum Channel, the bag will not seal
properly.
2. Examine the bag for leaks. To see if your bag has a
leak, seal the bag with air, submerge it into water and
apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. Use a new
bag if bubbles appear.

3. If you are using a custom-sized FoodSaver ® Bag, check
the bag's seal. A wrinkle in the bag along the seal may
cause leakage and allow air to re-enter. Just cut the
bag and reseal.
4. Do not attempt to make your own side seams for a
FoodSaver Bag. The bags are manufactured with
®
special side seams, which are sealed all the way to the
outer edge. Making your own side seams may cause
leakage and allow air to re-enter.
5. Make sure the Accessory Hose is not inserted into the
Accessory Port.
6. Check the gasket around the Drip Tray and the upper
gasket under the lid to make sure it is free from food
materials and is properly inserted into the gasket
channel.
The Complete FoodSaver
®
Get the most out of your FoodSaver appliance
®
with easy-to-use FoodSaver ® Bags, Canisters and
Accessories.
FoodSaver Bags and Rolls
®
The design of FoodSaver ® Bags and Rolls features
special channels that enable the efficient removal of air.
The multi-ply construction makes them an especially
effective barrier to oxygen and moisture, helping to
prevent freezer burn. FoodSaver Bags and Rolls come
®
in a variety of sizes.
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible illness, do not reuse
bags after storing raw meats, raw fish or greasy foods.
Do not reuse bags that have been microwaved or
simmered.
FoodSaver Vacuum Packaging Canisters
®
FoodSaver Canisters are simple to use and ideal for
®
vacuum packaging delicate items such as muffins and
other baked goods, liquids and dry goods.
The canisters come in a variety of styles and sizes and
can be used on the countertop, in the refrigerator or in
the pantry.
The Quick Marinator is an excellent way to marinate
foods in minutes instead of hours. Any FoodSaver
Canister can be used for marinating, but we recommend
the square or rectangular shapes because less marinade
is needed. Canisters should not be used in the freezer.
The stackable, lightweight containers are a convenient
option to store make-ahead meals, leftovers and snacks.
Note: Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature
before vacuum packaging. Otherwise contents may
bubble up out of canister.

FoodSaver Bottle Stopper
®
Use FoodSaver Bottle Stoppers to vacuum package
®
wine, non-carbonated liquids and oils. This will extend
the life of the liquid and preserve the flavor. Avoid using
the Bottle Stopper on plastic bottles.
Note: Do not vacuum package carbonated or sparkling
beverages as gas removal will cause them to go flat.
