3. During the vacuum packaging process, small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food particles can be inadvertently pulled into Vacuum Channel (J), clogging the pump and damaging your appliance. To prevent this, follow these tips: a. For moist and juicy foods such as raw meats: Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. You can also place a folded paper towel inside top of bag, but below seal area, before vacuum packaging. b. For soups, sauces and liquids: Freeze first and avoid overfilling bags. Or, use a canister in refrigerator. c. For powdery or fine-grained foods: Avoid overfilling bags or use a canister. You can also place a coffee filter or paper towel inside before vacuum packaging. d. Empty Drip Tray (I) after each use. 4. To avoid overfilling, always leave at least 3 inches of bag material between bag contents and top of bag. Then leave at least one additional inch of bag material for each time you plan to reuse bag. 5. Do not create your own side seams for a FoodSaver Bag. These bags are manufactured with a special side seam, which is sealed all the way to the outer edge. 6. To prevent wrinkles in a seal when vacuum packaging bulky items, gently stretch bag flat along Sealing Strip (L) before you close lid. 7. If you are unsure your bag was sealed properly, simply reseal bag about 1.4 inch above first seal. 8. When you are vacuum packaging items with sharp edges (dry spaghetti, silverware, etc.), protect bag from punctures 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. 9. When using accessories, remember to leave one inch of space at top of canister or container, and make sure to lock Latch (E) before vacuuming. Unlock the Latch when finished. 10.Pre-freeze fruits and blanch vegetables before vacuum packaging for best results. See pages 2-3 of FoodSaver Reference Guide for more information. 11.If appliance does not function, check to make sure the Latch is in the locked position. Note: Error light will flash if Latch is not engaged. 12.If storing appliance horizontally, make sure the Latch is in the unlocked position. If storing appliance vertically, lock the Latch halfway. Make sure Drip Tray has been emptied before storing vertically. Tips Copyright © 2005 Tilia, Inc. All rights reserved.
