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,

avour and overall quality. Removing air can also inhibit growth

of microorganisms, which can cause problems under certain

conditions:

Mould – Easily identied 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 identied 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 avour, 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

Charging Your Handheld Vacuum Appliance: Before

maintain battery life.

IMPORTANT: Should liquid be collected in the reservoir, stop

vacuuming and remove the reservoir to empty and clean it.

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.

Empty Reservoir after each use. Wash in warm soapy water.

Air dry before replacing.

IMPORTANT:

To remove Reservoir from FoodSaver®: 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 rmly closed. Slide ngers across entire

zipper.

2. Air valve is not on at surface. Reposition bag so the Air

Valve lies at 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 at 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.
