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
Silverware
To vacuum seal silver, wrap fork tines 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
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.
