manual abstract
Check the bag for leaks. Seal the bag with some air in it. Submerge it in water and apply pressure. Bubbles indicate a leak. If the bag has a leak, you need to use a new bag. If using a custom-sized FoodSaver Bag, check the seal of the bag. There may be a wrinkle in the bag along the seal, which causes leakage and prevents air from being removed. Cut the bag and reseal the edge. Do not attempt to make your own side seams for a FoodSaver Bag. They are manufactured with special side seams, which are sealed all the way to the outer edge. Making your own side seams may leave air pockets, which will cause leakage and prevent air from being completely removed. 30 31 Troubleshooting 1 2 3 4 1 1 THE FOODSAVER USER MANUAL Air Was Removed From the Bag, But Has Come Into the Bag: Check the seal of the bag. There may be a wrinkle in the bag along the seal, which caused leakage and allowed air to come back into the bag. Cut the bag open, and vacuum package it again. Moisture or food material (i.e. juices, grease, crumbs, powders, etc.) along the seal may have caused leakage and allowed air to come back into the bag. Cut the bag open, wipe the top inside of the bag material to clear away any moisture or food residue, then vacuum package the bag again. See the “Food Preparation and Storage Guide” in this User Manual for guidelines for specific foods. Food items with sharp edges may have punctured the bag. If you find a puncture hole, you will need to use a new FoodSaver Bag. Make sure to protect the bag from puncture holes by wrapping the items in cushioning material such as a paper towel. If you find none of these conditions identified in 1-3 (above), and the bag appears to have air inside, fermentation or the release of natural gases from inside the foods may have occurred. This could indicate that the food may have begun to spoil and should be discarded. The Bag Melts: The sealing strip may have become too hot. Always wait at least 20 seconds for the Vac 550 to cool down before vacuuming and/or sealing another bag. The Bag Will Not Seal: Wait 20 minutes to allow the Vac 550 to cool off, then try using it again. The Vac 550 will shut off automatically if it is becomes too hot. To help prevent the machine from becoming too hot: a. Wait at least 20 seconds for the machine to cool down after vacuum packaging and/or sealing before attempting to vacuum and/or seal another bag. b. Keep the lid open before vacuuming and/or sealing another bag. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 1 2 THE FOODSAVER USER MANUAL The Mason Jar or FoodSaver Not Vacuum: Make sure the jar sealer is centered and pressed firmly over the lid on the mason jar. Make sure the rubber gasket on the canister/mason jar lid from food materials, crumbs, etc. Make sure the rim of the canister or mason jar does not have any cracks or scratches. Any gaps can prevent a vacuum from forming. Make sure you aren’t filling the canister or mason jar too full prior to vacuum packaging. Always leave at least one inch (1") between the contents and the lid. Make sure the metal lid of the mason jar is not bent. The FoodSaver Universal Lid Will Not Vacuum: Make sure that the rim of the container is smooth and flat. Ragged edges will prevent a vacuum from forming. Make sure the rubber gasket underneath the universal lid and the rim of the container are free from food materials, crumbs, etc. Make sure the knob on the universal lid is closing and opening properly and that there are no food materials caught inside. The FoodSaver Bottle Stopper Will Not Vacuum: Make sure the bottle stopper is fitting snugly inside the bottle. If it is loose, air may leak in and prevent a vacuum from forming. Make sure the neck of the bottle and tip of the hose attachment are free from food materials, crumbs, etc. Any gaps will prevent a vacuum from forming.

THE FOODSAVER USER MANUAL THE FOODSAVER USER MANUAL Marinating Recipes You can marinate in a fraction FoodSaver Canisters. What usually takes hours to marinate 20 minutes when you vacuum package your food. All FoodSaver Canisters work for marinating, but we recommend the Square FoodSaver Canister because less marinade will be needed. IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to vacuum package any contents that are warmer than room temperature since the vacuum may cause the contents to bubble out of the container. Leave at least one inch between the top of the contents and the canister rim. The Square and Bulk Storage Canister bases can be used in the microwave to reheat food.
