Care & Cleaning

1.  Always unplug appliance before cleaning.

2. Do not immerse appliance in water.

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.

5.  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.

 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 firmly closed.  

Slide fingers across entire zipper.

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

Air Valve lies flat on counter with no food under Air 

Valve.

Vacuum Nozzle and Air Valve  

are not making secure contact:

1.  Ensure Vacuum Nozzle is centered over the Grey 

circle and placed flat 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.

The FoodSaver

®

 Fresh Container  

will not vacuum:

1.  Ensure the gasket on inside of lid is free from food 

and debris. Remove the valve cover and check to 

see if there is any debris in the valve. Clean the valve 

thoroughly periodically after usage. Ensure lid is firmly 

pressed down onto the base tray.
