When Vacuum Packaging:
1. Vacuum packaging is NOT a substitute
for refrigeration.
2. Use ONLY zipper bags and containers
manufactured by Sunbeam and the
FoodSaver® brand.
3. Do not allow the vacuum channel to
fill up with liquids. This will render the
machine unusable. To prevent it, do not
use the appliance for liquid foods.
4. When vacuum packaging zipper bags,
small amounts of liquids, crumbs or food
particles can be inadvertently pulled into
the valve, creating a possible air leak. To
prevent this, follow these tips:
4.1 For soups, sauces and liquids use
a container and then place in the
refrigerator. Sealing liquid in zipper bags
is not recommended.
4.2 For powdery or fine-grained products
such as flour, sugar and coffee grinds,
avoid overfilling the zipper bag or use a
container. You can also place a folded
paper towel at the top of the bag below
the valve area before vacuum packaging.
4.3 Ensure the zipper is closed securely and
no food is trapped in the zipper. Food
trapped in the zipper can create a leak
which may cause the bag to lose vacuum
over time.
5. Always make sure the nozzle at the
bottom of the appliance is attached
during vacuum packaging.
6. To avoid possible illness,
do not reuse
bags after storing meats, fish or greasy
foods.
7. When packaging products with sharp
edges, protect the bag from punctures by
wrapping the products in a cushioning
material, such as paper towels,
styrofoam, tissue, etc. Products can also
be vacuum packaged in containers to
avoid any possibility of puncturing a bag.
